Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

I thought I'd spend my 4000th post thanking all the great folks on the RRF for making this such a nice place to hang out on the web. The great information, history, teasing, humor....it's all good. Thanks Peter M., Brian M. for your vision and leadership.

The plan is to come out to the Left Coast this summer. Exact dates TBA. We're still working on that. But I can tell you that we'll be in the Salem and Eugene OR areas. Excursions to Seattle, San Francisco, or the LA area are possible if there were a confluence or even a mini-jam.

My wife and I are talking over the possibility of moving to Oregon permanently, most likely Eugene.

4K, 4 yrs., 3 weeks; what a ride! Thanks everyone!

Congrats! I think you should get a 4000 to celebrte the occasion.

CONGRATS Jim,

Man, that was fast!

Funny how fast time flies when you're having fun!

Lets see 4k more ASAP!

Congrats on the 4K Jim!

Way to go Jim!

Amen to that, and ditto.

If you plan things right, you might be able to do one in both Nor Cal and So Cal-ha! I'd plan for the latter part of July and early August. Not hinting at anything, just saying that historically, that's when the events go down in the aforementioned places.

Congrats on your 4000th post.

What a happy co-incidence that would be. Because late July, early August is prime time to be out of Kansas. Lawrence may as well roll up the sidewalks and hang a big "Closed for Business" sign at the city limits, and the summer becomes unsufferably hot and humid by then.

I joined a couple weeks ahead of you and this is only my 400th post.

Congrats, Jim! Now it's 4002. Let me know when you get to 4005.

Good suggestions there about late July and early August.... based upon historical scheduling, like Paulie says and its an ideal time to visit and avoid the end-of-August frenzy of vacationers....
Congrats on your 4,000 milestone, Jim ! I think you've probably got more posts-counts than actual days you've owned Ricks.... Hope to see you when you get out to California !

Oh? You got 4005 you want to sell me along with that real estate in New York City that's got a bridge on it, too?
JimK

I do have the former.

Ah, sounds quiet. For some reason, whenever I think of Lawrence, Kansas, the first thing that comes to my head was that the town was featured in the movie from the 80s called "The Day After," when it was the closest municipality to survive a nuclear blast that destroyed nearby Kansas City.

Random memory, I know. Sorry.

Yup. That's Lawrence's other claim to fame. The first is that the downtown area was pretty much burnt to the ground in August of 1863 during the Civil War by a band of Confederate guerillas.
