Well, after a 24.5 hour train ride from Orlando, FL to Penn Station, NYC...

I am finally back from PolkFest 2011 and all is well! I would like to personally thank George Daniel and his wife for bringing me to the train station in Orlando; yesterday George drove me to the Amtrak station and helped me load the PSW550 subwoofer into his SUV along with my luggage and gear.

I can't believe the great amount of generosity and greatness I have received from the members of this forum over the past weekend; I will post again when I get the chance; right now I am extremely tired from the train ride and will get back to you guys tomorrow.

Thanks everyone!

    He's laughing.

    Unlike Serendipity who is so deluded and sheltered from reality that he thinks he's important enough for someone to be watching him.

    Be careful, he'll report you too and probably tell his mom how mean the bad people on the Internet are.

    I guess that's what you do here. To each their own, some forums see that as whining/crying. Given past interactions, I was only acting as I saw fit.

    I don't think that cookie will make it intact if I ship with UPS... besides, all i have is peanut butter @ home. I hate chocolate chip actually.

    Well, as long as the Gulf of Mexico was a consenting partner, I don't see the problem. Oh, and I suppose permission from the wife would be in order.
