7000 and not dead yet......

Post by ozover50 »

Well, if somebody had told me on January 17, 2005 that I would make such a meal out of this place I would have laughed at the suggestion!

Two and a half years down the track and not only have I visited the US for a couple of months to meet some of the wonderful people who frequent these pages but I'm about do it again - madness I tell you...... madness!!.

Not only 7000 posts since then..... 13 Rickenbackers over the journey as well - more madness!!

I can do no more than thank Peter for providing me (and all of us for that matter) with the opportunity to learn heaps about these wonderful instruments and have plenty of fun and laughs in the process. I have met many very special people along the way and some are now treasured life-long friends.

It's been a fantastic voyage into the unknown for me and as always, I can't wait to discover what's around the next corner.

Thanks guys and gals for having me and more to the point, putting up with me. You're a great bunch!! Image

Aitch, congratulations on reaching such a huge milestone. The timing is perfect with SoCal coming up later this week. Sounds like a good excuse for a beer! Image

I'm sure I'm one of many people, from all over the planet, who enjoy your mateship, contribution, sense of humour and enthusiasm.

They certainly broke the mould when you were made! Image Image Image
