I didn’t even notice. Yikes. Happy New Year and stuff to me…And to think it was probably related to the concept of “It’s Always (About) You..”
Congrats!
HIP!
So, what’s the toy surprise in the bottom of a box of 7000 cereal?
I’d tell ya, but then you’d have to be liquidated and I’d lose the smokin’ jacket.
KNEE!

Ya see, you find yerself a five-gallon bucket, or better yet find a flatbed trailer to stand on, then up ya go… A lot of people do it, but don’t tell 'em I told ya.
Way to go Bro…
You give a huge amount to the board in general…and a lot of interesting perspectives in particular.
Greatly admired and respected from this side of the fence, not to mention the Pond.
Keep them coming, every post opens up a whole new option.
Slan,

What a milestone- gives the rest of us something we can aspire to-
Not to mention that your posts are always worthwhile.
Hey, I use to need a leg-up to get on my mare, but then, she was 16 plus hands and I am not a tall person, so I did have an excuse. 
A five gallon bucket? I thought they were called ten gallon hats?
HUZZA!!!

comes with a step
I do appreciate the comments above.
Like all of you, I have my share of friends and acquaintances in “real” life. But I have to say that only here am I a mouseclick away from poets, musicians, theologists, philosophers, scientists, domestic goddesses, real country-folk and scotch whisky collectors, spanning the globe. And that’s just a few mentioned.
You are a lovable bunch. Thank you.
PS. Look at that smart guy above! Yeah, horsepower with the glide of wheels! Man, is that a disc brake on the back???
The first time I had opportunity to meet The Weekenders, here on the net, I remember he had some nasty oversized political dogs yapping at him and nipping his heels. I had wandered over from the Uilleann pipe forum, and kind of butted in, thinking he needed some help defending himself, but over time I realized he didn’t need any help at all. 
Of course I had to camouflage my own personal political neutrality, but it was fun while it lasted. Hey, just think, we don’t have to discuss politics anymore, Weeks, at least hopefully.
yeehaaaw dude.
Congratulations, Weekenders. I enjoy your posts. I don’t agree with you on everything. I don’t agree with anyone on everything. I do always like to hear your two bits on sundry subjects. I think of you as one of the good guys on the forum… and certainly an interesting one.
