| I'm enjoying my time with you chowderheads these days. LCR was a hoot, seeing Migradog, Jeffro and Sir_James. Well, waddyaknow, today, I had lunch with Dillonivik, a name from the distant past. Right nice fella. Like many of you, he's all grown up now. I admit, I have always been a cheesedoodle and always will be. But, a lot of these young peckerwoods have become genuinely good men. I am proud to call you friends. |

WA used to be the most happening HTF on the site. |

Great guy, looked at a Jeep Commando for me back in the day. I've been blessed with many good friends from this forum! |
