Yeah, sorry fellas. I have been on vacaction in lovely Kansas City and just didn't have time to even think about keeping up with the countdown. And to be honest, I wasn't sure anyone was still keeping up with my attempt at a "countdown". But since it looks like at least a couple of you are still interested in it, I will keep it up. But it's glad to hear that some people care about this thread cause I'm working on the final ten days that should be WAY differant then what I've been doing. But thanks Auroran for helping me out! :clap
By the way...went to Kansas City, and the Yankees got drilled, my wife burned two credit cards and I spent $10,000 on gas. Fan-freakin-tastic!
