Thanks Cheesey for letting everyone know I survived. Our computer did crash big time and Teri, just within the last two hours got it back up. We had a big time virus from somewhere and it pointed to the squirrel sling shot video and some things my son had on pay-pal from e-bay.

Randy and I made good time and somehow missed happy hour at the Divide Bar and Strip Joint on McDonald Pass, so we kept on going. We hit only a few drifts of snow that we managed to skirt with great agility and luck (20 feet of snow on a 35 degree slopes and about 5 miles of this) and got to what we thought would be the turn off to the B&B about 7pm. We hit the lodge at 9:30pm just in time for nightcaps and a good chewing out from the wives. Hell, we had the Lodge in sight and still had 6 bottles of beer left so what are we to do? Drink up, of course! If you still have room left in your tank, you fill that sucker up, Right????

So, the last two miles, downhill from 7500 feet to 4000 feet took two hours. Randy and I found trails that didn't even exist last week. Lewis and Clark got nothing on us. Check next years USFS maps of the Lewis and Clark National Forest and you'll find the Randy/Bob trail system snaking its' way from Stemple Pass to Montana City.

Man....we're gonna be famous!!

I didn't even notice you were gone. Who's Bob?



























Just kidding of course. Glad to see you're back. Damn squirrels.

I thought the squirrels made off with you.

So, I sat down to have my morning coffeephone rang.

Me: Good morning!

Pentagon: Good Morning, sir. This is Colonel Schmuckatelli of the United States Army.

Me: Bullshit, ColonelI did my time, check my SRB, all you gotta do is keep sendin those checks

Col: No, no, no, you old fart, Im calling to give you an update on your missing 4-wheelers. You see, we got to drinkin that night, and one of my doggie friends suggested we go ahead and check out your story, so the next morning I contacted NRO (National Reconnaissance Office) and NSA (National Security Agency) to get a heads up. Ya, turns out you were telling me the truthyou have some strange friends there, sirWhat we did was crack into his home computerI never saw squirrel porn before, but that isnt why Im calling. I just wanted to let you know they are safe and the U.S. Government is going to name a trail after them in one of our National Forests.

Me: Ya, I already knew they were safe, I saw one of them online last night, Why are you naming a trail after them?.

Col: Whew, we were kinda worried about that whole computer thing We just thought that since we screwed up the guys computer, it was the least we could do

Me: How does cracking into the guys computer screw it up, Colonel?

Col: Well, this is a little embarrassing, but it seems that one of the lads over at NSA decided to check out some of that squirrel porn that your Montana Bob is it?--- had squirreled away so to speak on his hard drive, and he ran into something we also had not seen before a squirrel virus. We are trying to get our data back now, I just thought Id call at let you know everything is good with him. Our computer systemnot so much."

Me: I thought the telephone system at the Pentagon was integrated to your computer system, Colonel. How are you calling me?

Col: It is. Im calling you from a McDonalds


Welcome back safe, Bob!
:icon_smile:

Man, Pennsylvania sure has some weird people. Right Rocky??

Rocky: Yep, and to boot they got them Penguins, Flyers, Pirates, Phillies, Eagles, Steelers, and Sixers. That's enough cry babies to make anyone weird.

Bob: You're sure right about that, Rocky. But they sure know how to screw up a computer. I personally think it was that Ben Rothelscheimer guy that did it. Ya know, the guy who pretends to be a QB for the Aluminum Foils.

Rocky: it's the Steelers, Bob.

Bob: Whatever! Hey...get your buddies off my satellite dish. They're messing up my Home and Garden channel reception!!
