Merry Christmas
All,
Thanks to all of you. Much of my joy comes from this site. All of you, who contribute, bring something special. I really enjoy it.
I love my 1964 Datsun 1500 upgraded with a U20 and 5 speed. It reminds me of my youth, and it brings great pleasure as I am about to turn 60.
Today, I took my Datsun out for last minute Christmas shopping top down in weather that approached 70 degrees. I shopped longer than I needed to, just to enjoy the ride.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all of you.
Best,
Bob

Re: Merry Christmas
It's been snowing here for about 16 hours. Beautiful sledding later today but no roadstering. Thanks to one and all who contribute to this site.
I hope to someday get to Solvang or Shasta and meet a few of you, maybe even in my roadster

Re: Merry Christmas
I'm at work (meth and mental illness never sleep!) but wishing you all a very Merry (and safe) Christmas! I will echo all the other postings... you all are a wonderful extended family, and I am very grateful and appreciative of everyone one here. While I am not supposed to get on the internet at work, the only site I go to is 311s.org to get my "mental health adjustment" with the hopes that I don't get in too much trouble... sometimes you guys are the only thing that reminds me that the aliens are not coming for me, and keep me going when I really don't want to... so, thanks for being here!

As an aside, one of my pharmacist's grandfather was a test pilot who flew with the likes of Chuck Yeagar (sp?) and did a lot of classified work for the military and Nasa. He died about a year or so ago (he showed me pictures and there was a Wiki page on him, etc.). Anyway, a week or so before he died he was talking to my guy here (Matt), and Matt says "he looked me in the eye and said, "Matt, I just have to tell you, aliens exist, and that is all I am able or going to say about that." I asked Matt if he thought he was joking, and he said "Nope, absolutely not. He just told me to not ask any more questions."
So maybe they are!

Re: Merry Christmas
My opinion is that humans are very narcissistic to assume that this tiny speck we call earth is the only place in the vast expanse of space that could possibly support intelligent life...

Re: Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to all. Without any doubt this is one of the finest group of people on the web, although I don't post often I'm on the site at least twice a day. It lets me know their are people all over the world I share a common interest with and are willing to share their knowledge openly. I'm on the edge of getting on the road with mine with all the help and support of this site. I thank everyone of you.
MERRY CHRISTMAS
