    I did several search's. I know this was posted at least once.
    There were many members on here regularly. I miss them!
    I won't name names but wonder where they are and if they are okay!
    That's about all I have to add.
    Those of you checking in regularly keep it up. Whether you are working on a wagon or just pickin up dog poop. Keep us informed. And if you know any member emails or phone numbers call and tell them we need them here.

    I've been driving my new to me Dodge diesel around and out to the lake. Doing some bushwacking out there.
    Left the Fairmont in safekeeping with StorminNorman since he smacked his up anyways.
    Hope I still have my fenders...:hmmm:

    Seems like some have moved on and others..... it's still summer so I guess they have lives, not like the rest of us:p:rofl2: Come fall and winter it seems more members show up and post more, kinda noticed the trend over the last few years.

    I come in a sit for bit when I've had enough of the never ending renos, BTW my new fence and arbor turned out great, just need a little dis 'n' dat for the place and I figure I can tell the new tenants they can start bringing stuff over Thurs or Fri. I also ripped apart a 460 across the street this week end for the Beateor. I also bout a alum eldbrock manifold new in the box from my bud at a deal.....but don't tell Deb:disagree:! What she does not know won't hurt me:shhh:

    Yea, I noticed on many forums things are sloooow! But on here guys with laptops kept in touch even when camping. Unlike me. I was off six weeks and lived without a stinkin computer.
    It's just that some of those members who checked in every day just vanished. I'm not doing anything to my cars so have nothing to write about. Don't even have a dog to pick up poop so can't mention that. The neighbor dog don't come over here anymore.
    Maybe we skeered them all off!

    Not a regular, but have been here for more than 3 years - periodically check in. We just got my son, our oldest, off to college for freshman fall semester. Went quite smoothly and he's happy to be embarking on this more independent phase of his life. I have been slowly getting the '90 CP ready for Ford Carlisle next summer. Want to hold out for a repaint until after the show. Also, as usual, looking for good-looking, durable vinyl to re-wood the wagon with some day. The original di-noc is fine - not faded and not many nicks, but like to have a plan B (C, D and E too). Been weird without Fox on swf - he had considered buying my wagon before I did.

    Yea, miss silverfox. Keep watching for him to check in. But we know where he is. So many others been gone too long. Most can't be here everyday. But many just disappeared.
    Glad your son is off to school and you are playing with your wagon 90merc

    :huh: I guess I'm considered an irregular member.
    But my dog is regular. I'll be picking up poop in the morning. About 6:30 am. :wave:

    Such is the nature of Internet forums. Some folks are seasonal, others lose interest and a few go MIA.
    I can think of quite a few names that have dropped of the face of the Internet as of late.

    During the summer it is just way to hot here to take them home after work. When the weather cools down to the 80's, I'll be taking them out. They just don't like the hot weather. I do run them around the factory on weekend mornings to keep them limber.

    I dunno.....
    There may a few veteran members that are taking a bit of a break from the action here on the board. It's summer. People go on vacation, get involved in projects, etc. We've got a great group of fairly new members though, who are jumping right into things. I'm encouraged by what I'm reading. .

    Still this, though.......
    Somebody find Blackfoot and The Stickman, will 'ya?

    You both are regularly regular. You have great nformation and you make us giggle. :DShelby, without pictures it never happened!:camera:
    As some of you wrote, there have been several regular regular members who seemed to disappeared. Even fannie and Xavier have vanished! Blackfoot and Stickman were real regulars regularly. Then phoof! Gone.

    We've got a great group of fairly new members though, who are jumping right into things. I'm encouraged by what I'm reading. . Me too Krash. The newer members keep things lively and help keep the forum interesting.
