I'll join ya. There website is down for me, too. This probably doesn't
have anything to do with it, but I can't get my TV ratings from last
night because of this:

"We got word this morning that because of a power outage at a Nielsen
facility in Florida, the fast national ratings for Monday, Nov. 16
won't be available for at least the next few hours. The same problem
also affects the release of the weekly ratings."

Not that it matters, or even if it's related, but hell, you asked if
anybody'd join ya, so here I am.

Shirley - pour BP another on my tab, and make mine a double Maker's
Mark.

Never used Bubba's, but I swear by the E-Z Brake and E-Z shift levers,
both are a must-have to accomodate my size 14 boots.

It's hard being a man in a boy's sized world, isn't it?

It'd be a shame if Bubba's gone. I use his brake on my bike.
They were super nice to deal with plus they have a good product.

Site appears to be back up but there's no products. Kinda looks like
a crash and semi recovery?
