Hey Bob, can you leave your refrigerator door open tomorrow? It might get a bit warm, and we could use some refrigeration.

[Calmark]

Zack, I'm sorry we will all miss you tomorrow!  Enjoy your  trip away. I hope to see you in September. 

I think maybe Martin, aka pistoleer better shoot pistol tomorrow with you and Scott, Frank. We need to see him live up to his name. Even though it's short, I'm not sure the Pulsar counts...

Bob, you need to get a summer cottage in the cool Bay Area so you can hang out near the best FT hotspot on the west coast!

Not to worry, amigo, the melting point of lead is 621.4F and it doesn't boil until 3,180F.
So you got that going for you.

Refrigerator?? We just leave our beer in the snow outside the kitchen door ... both before and after consumption.

Hey, is it okay that I wear the Red Shirt? I've heard rumors ...
