Default Thank You All....

Well, I found the Forum 2 years ago and I knew this day would eventually come...

I'm going back to work full-time and won't be such a fixture around here. I just wanted to thank you all for all the information, ideas, motivation, laughs, praise and most of all the life long friendships that have formed here for me.

Some of you I may never meet in person, but I'm honored that I can call you a friend: (In no particular order) Timmy, Stu, Randy, Paul, Serkan, Edensknight, Lori, Joe (flynby2), Rob, Gary (GB), Glennm27, Ed, Stephen, Toddzilla, and countless others I have met in person. In think CI 7 is out for now... I really wanted to make it out

You have all unknowingly helped me pass the last 2 years while immeasurably LMAO most of the time. It's so true... Time flies when you're having fun

You have my phone #'s and email... please feel free to contact me if you ever need anything. I'll always do my best to help you all.

I could never repay the generosity that has been shown to me by all of you (On the forum)... I will Pay It Forward as I cross paths with those in the future. I'll be back in when the projects are done... only have unpredictable days now to work on them... but I hope to have things done soon... Here's the last project I picked up Friday:





See you guys in a couple of months with the results :

"Hammer down, see ya 'round"

Just where do you think you're going?

Ya know, many of us have regular jobs and other obligations besides being the internet playboy and gadabout that you were! Yet, we still manage to find time in our busy schedules for the important things, like which floor mats are best and do these jeans make my butt look too big? (No dear, it's not the jeans....)

How dare you run off and leave us in the lurch!

Listen - I caught you a delicious bass. Now will you still hang around?

Bro, you scared the S**T outa me with the title of this thread..

Dave, I'm truly honored to be mentioned among the many great people on this forum, and even more grateful to be your friend bro!

Congratulations on the full-time position! Though we may see less of you on the forum, we've got ways of keeping in touch for sure. There will plenty of other ways and opportunities for many of us to meet in person and I can't wait for that moment.

As for the newly aquired horses, the maggie is beautiful! Very C L ! Keep us posted with that project for sure... I'm soooo looking forward to seeing that "BAMF" in person!

I'll be in touch with you bro!

Unless of course, your new Job is taking you to ALASKA or something. Even then, Im coming up for a visit.

Although I have been out of touch for a bit through the holidays, I will always appreciate all you have done for me, Spanky. You are such a good friend and Im sad to hear you are gonna be away doing important Dave-Stuff for a while.

Im sick as heck right now, I called in sick for the first time in my 3 year career at my current job...but Im hoping maybe we can hook up one more time this next weekend before you disappear on us...is that possible?

I wish you the best of luck, buddy! I hope I get to hang with ya again soon...

Well, Little Brother, you know I am damn proud of you. And, I knew that that Maggie that we have been talking about had your name on it. And, I know that you are going to love it. And, as far as the new job is concerned, I am so glad that a new opportunity in your field has come your way. You are so deserving of it. Keep in touch. It is always good to hear from you, my friend.

Best Wishes to You Always,
Eden

You've got a lot of nerve. You post a thread with a title like that........... I thought you were leaving for good.....phew. I'm glad that's not the case. Second you make a parting comment about not being around and in closing you post photos of a new maggie...damn you.

Best of luck with the job Dave. I hope you find the time to visit with us, your wit and wisdom are truely appreciated here and will be missed if you are not posting regularly. Not to mention, you've got a great looking car and I always look forward to what's on tap for you next. That maggie should satisfy. I hope you make it east for some events in the future, it's a shame to have someone that I consider such a good friend and have never had the honor of meeting you in person.

Paul

p.s. phone number? I don't have any stinking phone number.
