your an engineer and you didnt write it down??
damn

some can exceed their goals by simply putting their
head down (pun) and going for it

for me it definately fuels the fire to have someone pushing
and or exceeding me, or simply  pissing me off, Jason
McVicar pushed me to new highs all the time, the record
would be much less if not for the rivalry

so here is to next year and pissing you off so as to
see you "thrust" the records further (the nice guy routine
only goes so far)

Rick Y.  what is fueling your fire this year???

Joe (looking for thrust that I can afford) Amo
