Thanks! After the whole photobucket fiasco, I really lost interest when I realized how many hundreds of hours I had in this thread that were effectively made irrelevant without the pictures overnight. I had really started this thread to document the build, which I did, but it morphed into a travel picture repository once the main build was done. I tried to keep up with it, but got behind, then more behind, then on and on. That's about when PB kicked the entire internet forum world square in the nuts with their bullshit extortion demands, and I looked back and the thought of redoing the entire thread was overwhelming. I invested a bunch more hours in it and redid the first few pages and got that overwhelmed feeling again and kinda walked away again.
I'll be completely honest and fully admit that I love looking back through the build pics and travel stories myself! It is fun reliving some of the adventures we had through this thread and I always enjoyed the commentary from the crowd here. I guess I just wish it was easier and/or I had more time to do it these days.
