No problem! Tell him Aaron sent you.

It's another additiction here...instruments. My collection has a few Wish guitars in it - the upright, an original TW fretless, a lapsteel he did custom for me, and a wicked 6 string electric. Cool stuff.

Exclamation Wow, this is Cool

Wow, this is Cool, its a lot of fun attaching faces to posts I remember from the past.
Also you guys are the ones that keep me motivated when I am using too much money, tired or missing my family when I am out in the garage.
Working on cars all the time and then spending a lot of time on the 'Net and you forget there is a Human side to this thing and thats a lot of what this is all about.
Never seen so mny cheerful happy faces!!!

PS still don't see my buddies Larry Bible, Leathermang, Brian Carlton, Brian Carlton........and about a 100 others whose names I forget

What was I doing there? Well, I am one of the perennial organizers of 5er Fest and we were getting ready for the influx of arrivees for the event.

I didn't think Jimmy Layton was that young, for some reason I thought he was an older heavy set fellow.

I thought the Don was going to be a lot older and heavier.

I didn't think RADassage was going to be that young.

I didn't know HatterrasGuy was that old, I thought he was a lot younger. As he served in the German Army during the Second War, he must be in his 90's now but I can understand his loyalty to Mercedes as many times his troops and his feet were very appreciative of Mercedes Diesels...

I think Mistress should post a bit more than a thumbnail after all the things she's posted. Yes, we know you're reading this.
C'mon show us.
