Thank you for the congratulations & kind words SoLittle! <br />I hadn' noticed I had finally passed 5000. Looks like you're a couple away from a well deserved promotion as well.
Congratulations, Paul, and SoLittle.<br /><br />And thanks for the thousands of members you have helped so much.<br /><br />Guys like you are what makes this the best boating site in the universe.
Grand Master at what you do here, Paul and Solittle both!<br />Some day I hope to be among your ranks, and can only wish that I would have helped as many, if I get there...Congrats!
Thank you all so much for the congratulations! I've learned from every single person who has responded to this thread, and I'm happy to have been of some service in return. I suspect we're all alike and read easily 10 times more posts than we responded to.<br /><br />rolmops: if possible, aim for late July or August. Our early summers are unpredictable while it seems like August guarantees good weather. But nothing's written in stone. Best Solomon Gundy (next to home-made) is Comeau's, but I've never had rolmops to compare.
Congratulations to both of you. Your help has been most appreciated and needed here. With your promotions, how 'bout buying a round of drinks with the increased income.
I am posting my number 5000 with this in salute to Paul. As for me I know I have learned far more than I have contributed. It has been, and continues to be, fun.<br /><br />40 years ago I would have led the way to our favorite watering hole to celebrate. For now it is milk, cookies and lots of naps.
solittle, Paul.<br /> congratulations. <br /> its a lot of time. <br /> and if your hunting old OMC stuff I talked to Ron at rons marine today and he is gonna unload a bunch of stuff from the sixties.<br /> me I leave for VE in the morning.<br /> I hope I can find my password. if not expect to see a VE2 behind my handle.<br /> I just hope the Payara and the Pavon cooperate
Congratulations, Paul,<br /><br />Being about 1/2 of your present post number, I'll probably hit the big 5000 about the time you hit the 10,000 number.<br /><br />Keep up the good work.
