as a US citizen. While Disco and Valkpilot worked on a clutch I was in Irving for my interview at 6:50 am. Officer Garcia after a 20 minute interview ask if I wanted to be sworn in today at 1:30 pm. Well heck ya,what kind of question is that! It came as a real surprise. I was expecting more delays, paperwork who know what. Soon as got home I rode around the shop.   What a day!!  ~TJ |

A whole raft of smart-aleck responses floated through my head, but I'll save them for another occasion.  Congrats! |

Congratulations, TJ! I'm very proud for you.
And, as one who had the privilege of riding with TJ for lots of miles this summer and getting to know him a little better, I'm certain that he's a great new addition!

It was way to short  Congratulations, don't forget to vote!
Now it's political, how ironic to get letter in my welcome package signed by BHO(cannot stand him and what he is doing to this country). My oldest daughter who turns 18 in October and I are making sure we will be able to vote in November. We just want to put "We The People" back into our elected officials. Good for you TJ!!! Welcome to the greatest country on the planet. Glad to have ya! God Bless America. Hay Jimmyt Amen!!~TJ P.S. Thank y'all very much. Let's go ride. |

Big congrats, TJ! Just celebrated the same thing with one of my co-workers. We have now renamed him Joe Smith. I was ask if I wanted to chance my name . I would go and forth with my mexican friends that I wasn't a gringo and show my green card. They wouldn't have an answer. Proud to be a gringo.  |
