Nothing to be mixed about, those who have left before us are cheering you on, they passed all the knowledge they could and now you get to pass your knowledge along to those that come behind us.

Well said.

None of those guys are truly gone. Some of who they are is still embedded here for us to enjoy and remember. You can never hear too much of a good guy ... post on Bondo! And congratulations!

I think of that every day as I weave in and out of the lanes in the afternoon traffic getting around those with the blinker permanently on, or the blue-hair trying to see over the dash, or the guy/gal puffing away on their e-cig in the hoopty or the people texting that just ran into the car in front of them....

If I get nothing else out of your and your past-on predecessors, it's the use of Sea Foam "Snake Oil". That in itself was worth my joining this forum and learning about "decarb" and all. You and it have served me well.

On past responders, where is Mr. D Hadley? I really enjoyed his candor. Hope he isn't fixing to get whacked again down in Port Charlotte, FL. I wonder if he still has the Johnson 300 hp V8 on that little 14' speedster?

Ayuh,..... Thanks Guys,.... I often wonder how many times have I pecked out, "Ayuh,.... Welcome Aboard,...." in the last 15 years,....

I had a rich outa-towner in 'is white Lexus stuck on my trailer hitch, through the village, 'n well out on the hyway, through many passin' zones, til the next light where he turned right,...
10'/ 20' is to close for me, at 60 mph,....
From 25 mph in the village, to 59 mph on the hyway, for 6 miles, 4 of which is a wide open passin' zone, with plenty of chances,... :rolleyes:

Really unbelievable the amount of help that has been given by you and our past late Mods. You left out Spinner Bait Nut SBN and I am sure they are all proud to surrender the lead ;)

Bill Congratulations!
