The Last Four Or Five Days
 

.

Is it just me or has the "V8 " pages been slightly 'askew' since about Saturday? I know that we normally have little action on Saturdays, but this last few days have been sorta strange around here.

Not sure what you mean, but it seems to me that the number of posts and responses has been dropping over recent months.

Re: The Last Four Or Five Days
 

Now that I think about it, you may be right.

Perhaps we have solved most of the problems?

Re: The Last Four Or Five Days
 

It's just you :)

Re: The Last Four Or Five Days
 

Hahaha. Last one out, turn the lights off.

Re: The Last Four Or Five Days
 

Maybe a lot of folks are on vacation? :confused:

Re: The Last Four Or Five Days
 

Too hot to work on anything here in the South

Re: The Last Four Or Five Days
 

On vacation……or worse!!

We are going from 50's at night to 80's in the day. Mother nature telling us time to get ready for winter. Just tried to get someone lined up for pushing snow. They may or may not do it this year but will let me know soon. If they don't, I'll have to try again.

X2 here in the "further" south....PLUS I am at the stage of having to mow, trim and edge my 1-3/4 acres every week now with the high temperatures and deluge of rain. SO almost one full day of my weekend is taken up doing yard work.... and with the days feeling like the Me Kong delta.....I am done after that!!!!

No radio controlled V8 flathead mower?

Re: The Last Four Or Five Days

Re: The Last Four Or Five Days
 

My flathead cars are all working. I have 1 Brand X car all done and have been painting my other Brand X.

I think he was right as the traffic seems kinda light to me also. I sure do miss Coop and his posts! He was always here to help folks.

Re: The Last Four Or Five Days
 

It sure was nice to see V8COOPMAN once again listed as a thread starter. He sure was a great guy and is certainly missed.

Yes, sorta light traffic. I'm starting to reminisce about the 'good ol' days' like back in 2023.

Re: The Last Four Or Five Days
 

Well said Ronnie, well said.

Re: The Last Four Or Five Days
 

Agreed.

Re: The Last Four Or Five Days
 

It is good that we can still go back to Coop's page and get a "fix" now and then. I thought his and Heard's tutorial on the T5 with a torque tube was SO good. I wish I was able to start a project like that but alas, I know better now. When looking up information, the posts from the likes of Ol' Ron, JSeery, Bruce Lancaster, and so many others that we have lost not only are inspiring but also keep their memory alive. I have to say that it is just plain entertaining to read some of Ol' Ron's wisdom and humor. Especially his spelling which I believe was purposeful. Some days I feel a bit guilty about the amount of time I spend on the "Barn" entertaining myself when I could be more productive. I suppose that is what retirement is about, doing what we enjoy the most.

Out door lovn has commenced (of yer auto)

Re: The Last Four Or Five Days
 

Is that legal? :eek:

Re: The Last Four Or Five Days
 

Sure do miss Coopman.

Re: The Last Four Or Five Days
 

I'm just glad to have experienced Coopman and Ol'Ron and Bruce Lancaster and the like. Those that follow after us may not be so lucky.

Re: The Last Four Or Five Days
 

What you say is so, so true. They were a treasure trove of information and experience that they willingly shared. That treasured knowledge is slowly fading away. May God Bless them for all the good they did. Hope the younger folks can carry on.

Re: The Last Four Or Five Days
 

Coopman saw it coming for sure. I am underwhelmed by the amount of traffic on the early V8 site the last few months. Alas, we have lost so many of the older knowledgeable contributors.
