Welcome aboard, nice to meet you. There's a lunch next Saturday a bunch of the guys will be at in Schaumburg. I have to work, so probably won't get out early enought to make it up there.

I've had mine for a little over a year, I still remember the feeling of bringing her home, wanted once since I was about 4 or 5 years old.
