As soon as Darin sends me my T shirt I'm gonna tramp for awhile. Besides, 5000 posts, at least a third of which consist solely of "yup" or "well said" isn't really a major accomplishment. More an indicator of way too much free time and not enough vocabulary.
I'll still be around, just not as much and not very often. I've enjoyed being the "old guy" on here but I don't want to turn into just another grouchy old logger whose only real contribution is yelling at the kids and wannabes when their youthful enthusiasm overcomes their good sense. I do enough of that every day in the woods.
I've made some good friends here. Some I've met and some I probably never will...but that doesn't change the value of the friendship. Met or unmet, a good friend is a gift.
I'll probably check my PMs once in awhile and if you want to contact me Slowp has my EMail address.
To all of you who made the past five years a good ride I say thank you. I've enjoyed it and would do it again in a heartbeat.
And if there's any of those young guys out there who think they might like this logging business...I left any easy trail to follow.
