Maybe it's a bit presumptious... but about 60% of the new (2006+) chargers I see on the road have the mason emblem on their deck lid, or somewhere else equally visible.

Wow, it has been one hell of a week so far, and it's only half way though! I've got a feeling I'm going to need a Sammie before the day is over. We just got confirmation the other day that I'm on for Japan. So I'm looking forward to 6 or 7 days of authentic Shushi and wandering around looking like a lost tourist. I'll defiantly be posting pictures to my flicker account (link on left) so if your interested check, there occasionally. We are going to be staying in Ageo which is about an hour northwest...
Ok, so it's been a while since I've posted. I think I'm just now recovering from my beer induced coma from after thanksgiving....that was the most recent holiday right? So anyway, our next UG Meeting happens to be Tomorrow, Wednesday the 10th. And we have a whole load of fun planed for everyone to attend. First off were announcing our points program. It's essentially a frequent flyer program for our user group members. No commitment, you don't have to pay for anything. We just wanted an incentive...
Like Bill Wagner "If your not blogging, your dead, or atleast thats what people think" And i'm here to tell you all...you don't get off that easy.
