HAPPY BIRTHDAY RON!

I am with you. I was here the first day. I talk to Shelly once in awhile.
We used to talk almost every other day.
She and Mac are a couple of the best friends I have on the internet.

Happy 91st Ol' Ron. Your wisdom on the Ford flathead engines, and
your willingness to share it with others, so they can keep those
engines in fine running condition, is Priceless. :):):)

You are a gift that keeps on giving...Thankyou ;)

Happy Birthday Ron, I hope you’re having a great day. Thanks for all your posts and your book Nostalgia. These are invaluable to those of us working alone, exploring the intricacies of rebuilding and modification of Flathead engines. You’re a gem.
Best regards,
Roger

Happy Birthday Ron. I always read your posts, no matter the subject. We are all very lucky that you are so willing to share your knowledge and add a little humor along the way.
Your book is a must have for any flatheaded wrench thrower. Time for you to write another.

Happy birthday, Ron! I turned 65 today. I think I'll use you and my Dad (who just turned 89) As role models. Dad has never gotten the memo he isn't a puppy anymore, Ha!
God bless!
