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

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.
