5000 posts, and my 83 birthday, guess I've been around for a while.
I'd like to thank Ryan for letting me stay around for this long. One thing I learned while being part of this group is: Not all of your ideas are right. I started along time ago thinking only of preformance, and now it's economy, go figger. WE have allot of new comers here and my suggestion to them is watch the bucks. Most of the stuff you see and hear here cost allot of money and isn't really necessary. I realize the cost of doing business has increased over the years, buch you have to watch the bottom line. I hope I can help youse guys for alittle while longes, I keep learning more things from 65 years of mistake.
God Bless and Keep em running.
Ol; Ron

Happy birthday Ron. Congratulations on your your 5000 posts. I came on Fordbarn in the year 2000. You were the first to volunteer to help me with my flatty. The help from you and others has taught me more than I could have imagined. I am now building my 52nd flathead and could not have done it without the help of guys like you. Thanks Bill

Ron, a deserved happy birthday to you. Ive said this before and will repeat it. Your not just an amazing guy, but your a fine person. Your always a gentleman, and amazingly, with all those posts, you have never belittled, insulted, or been anything but polite. Wishing you many more years with us on the forum.

Happy Birthday Ron, many of your 5000 posts were often times in response to the questions I had during the build of my 276. You're not done yet; I've got a lot of questions still!
