Sweet, irish! Hey, I was a tech consultant for John Deere for a year too, for Agris, their software division based out of Wichita, KS. I and my team designed, developed and produced the training for their new grain elevator software. One of the Agris girls got me into Everquest for a year, the old EQ right after Ruins of Kunark came out.
Good luck with the new cycling leg, but you know they can put engines on bicycles now, right? Guess that's not the point. Hope you get as much sleep as you can in the next two months! Congratulations, amigo; all the best from Texas
