Some must think I am crazy and I can see that sometimes they think I am a little daft, their eyes just glaze over and move a little away in case it rubs off...
I do the same thing! And that response is common on my end too! At Christmas, my brothers (I have 4) wouldn't quit giving me a hard time about my "addiction". My brothers wife actually growled at me the other day because he is catching the "bug". My other brother, after I showed him my newly running 125 decided he wanted it for himself. Told him I need it for this year, but by next winter I might be interested in "selling" it to him! I kind of think it's funny when someone gets "bitten by the bug". LOL!
