...This forum contains technical stuff. But it also contains friends you have yet to meet and bonds waiting to happen.



And that is the legacy of Robert, Phil, and The Good Friar RIP. I'd even have to say, more-so John Bedard than anyone else. Heck who can't hear him even now? Hey you chuckles-heads is it time to withdraw access to the cone and get back to babysitting the forums for the moderators?

Who can't recall the banter of yutes? Jeez. Now 'they is all' married up and such. Heck, California? Common literski!

Remarkable. Absolutely remarkable, how this site was the impetus for three americas, 200,000 miles+ and meeting some of the finest folks on the planet. Hear hear to all. Thank you for the memories. My first lobster roll, heck, I didn't even know what one was!, was enjoyed in the company of Jack RIP and Diane, among others. Back in the day when the pioneers, well pioneered! Dinqua. Jeez. Speedmaster red azz amber ale notwithstanding. The Ride to Robert's town. Some little issue at the days inn. Mark tilling a horseshoe pit in Georgia. Eating massive amounts of abandoned bbq in Eureka Springs. A true lobster bake in New Hampshire. Seeing the weather change in Oceanside due to Atlantic ocean water.

Yes Ron, The friendships made here, made in College Station/Snook TX, Canandaigua, Dahlonega, Litchfield, Prescott, Dansville, ...will last a lifetime. Each and every rally holds the promise of more remarkable people, more striking adventures.
