I ran into Willie Nelson in a store once with his coach parked out in the lot. Not a single person gave him a second look. He checked out with me, we chatted and I walked him out to his ride

Crash9 was an interesting guy also. He had some health problems before he dropped out of here. Lived somewhere deep in the mountains of NM as I recall.

The cats have the po-po surrounded... that's why they look so nervous.

Seems like each cat has their own ride staked out. Thing I don't get is why the weapon wielders have different helmets and insignia an such. They from the same department?

Frankly, I'd be scared, too. To quote from "The Hallelujah Patrol" on Garrison Keillor's CD, "Songs of the Cat":

Even if you think you're all alone,
And you've been all alone for days,
suddenly you turn around
and see their calm and steady gaze.

Or Carleton Hughes' for that matter. Also a very smart dude on Long Island, IIRC. Although with Carleton I needed to have dictionary.com opened and ready to go.

Boneyards.
I PM'd Scott Longston last year. Got a PM back asking for my email. Sent that, never heard back.

The guy we lost a couple years back was Bill Makemson, TXBill, or Diesel4me.

Ernesto or BenzLGB has gone missing too. Hope his brain tumor didn't get him.

Lebenz sent me an email a few months back.

Don't know about Blackmercedes.

We just saw RickG last month.

I was wondering about BlackMercedes too. I think I remember a thread where he was driving 150mph or so.

How about Pooka? Guy hasn't logged on since October. I sent him an e-mail earlier this calendar year but got no response.

I think he was an older fellow, too -- retired.

A lot of members have left over the years. I think we lost another guy on the diesel forum a few years back but his handle escapes me now. He was older and had a bunch of diesel Mercedes, was cheap as you can get!

I remember him. 'If it ain't broke don't fix it.'

I used to hear from lebenz about his elk herd but it's been several years. He was one of the best.
