HAH a lost cause I'm better than a geek =). Well actually I am a huuge geek when it comes to sports knowledge, trivia, offenses, defenses etc. Just ask my Dad, if I don't know something about sports than it must not exist :).

Rico · November 16, 2006, 07:06:17 PM

That's true. Steve knows sports like I know Trek. ;)

I compete in Triathlon, I posted a race report from my Half Ironman a few weeks ago here on the forums. I have never done a bike tour or criterion race, my bike is triathlon specific and has aero bars, so the roadie guys won't let me ride with them. :)
Thanks everyone for the kind words and praise for mom, I'll let her know she has fans in geekdom!

Here is a Picture of My Wife and I and our Favorite Astromech. :r2d2line

After The Skype call on Nov 25th, we went over to visit a friend of mine as he just returned with his full sized R2-D2.

Oh man, It doesn't get much better than that

:jawdrop That is one cool R2-D2 Jeff. Did your friend get it completed or did he build it? Looks like a great R2 build!

jedijeff · November 26, 2006, 06:58:48 AM

Yes, it is pretty cool. He bought it complete, and then he went and picked it up. It weighs 160 pounds. It comes with a remote control, so he can move it around, and spin the dome. As well the lights on the dome light up. My brother and I helped him yesterday with some wiring, as the speaker wire for R2's speaker had come detached from the sound Board, so after that he was busily chirping away. I guess I can put astromech repair on my resume now ;)

Awesome mech dude! :r2d2line

Geekyfanboy · November 27, 2006, 08:18:24 AM

OH I WANT ONE :jawdrop... where did he get it from?

jedijeff · November 27, 2006, 04:59:01 PM

He got it from some fellow who was selling his R2 D2, it was completely fan built. It was down in the LA area.

Geekyfanboy · November 27, 2006, 05:04:41 PM

Oh man.. I live in the LA area... can I ask how much he paid for it?

This is me. Just got to this thread. Been busy. I have pics on the Ren Fest thread, but here is one from Halloween last year. Please tell me you know who I am in it. I have to trust you "guys" to know. Enjoy.
