Thanks Terry and Mark, but I feel inadequate in the Technical Department to be a big help (yet).  I'm a workin' on it, learning a lot and used a lot of paper printing off advice.   Everyone has been really great puttin' up with me.  

This is going to make Capt. Bill mad, but I put in my vote for him.....you go Bill.......!

I suggest  DaveM.  Not just because i know the guy but he has been helpful with me and the others getting the northeast caravan together and other local shows with vettes.  He has been willing to email and talk with others and i think he would be a good nominee for this treat.

[QUOTE=Tuxblacray] I hafta vote for Itsdave92570. [/QUOTE]

  Thank you Tuxblacray;  I sure appericate that you still remember.  But, myself,  the first thing I did here was to make sure i was a lifetime member myself, and by the grace of Adam a moderator also .

  My own feelings on this is that I dont care for it being a popularity contest, but I like the idea of it being given to someone who deserves it in some way.  At the bare minimum, the donor needs to establish some sort of guidlines as to who should or should not be elegible.

I'm glad you mentioned that Dave. I've been biting my tongue hard.

Sorry Adam. Not meaning to get off topic. That deal with Ben bothers me.

I'm sorry to hear that...

I am still alive and well..  after spending nearly 18 months devoted to nothing but my corvette, spending countless hours on this forum and working on my beast, I was in need of a break.  If you were one of the people who donated something to my lifetime membership I would be happy to give you (or anyone else for that matter) their money back.  I just returned from a 3 week wedding trip to Croatia.  I was married June the 21st in the city of Dubrovnik.  In the time since I was last active (about a year now) I had the first floor and garage of my house damaged by a flood, taken a new job, moved, and gotten married.  My wife has a large shop (her mother's old ceramic shop, 60 x 100) on her property, now that I am moving there, I will have room to work on the car again and can get my shop set back up.  At that point I will be active again as I enjoy sharing my knowledge as much as learning from others.

Well look who's back. Welcome back Ben.

First off, everything I say is with sincerity.

I'm glad things are finally settling down for you and your bride. Congrats on the new job. Sorry to hear that your home was flooded. That sux and I hate to see anyone go through that. I understand everyone needs a break from things once in awhile. I've done it myself. Whether it be lack of time, illness, war, interest or someone stepped on my toes type of thing.

 But I was disappointed as is some other members here that you seemed to up and leave. Not that you are indebited or obligated to be here. And nobody "owns" you here. As I was told. "It's your membership, and you can do what you want with it." But I feel that if I was in your shoes with all intentions of coming back. Not be like some "fly by night" take the freebie and run individual. I would of at least had the decency of posting a couple of times in the past year that you are still with us. How long does it take to type C3VR.com and a quick "Hi I'm alive still." A year?  You follow what I'm getting at? And even if I did donate, I would never ask for money back. That would be an "Indian giver", that I'm not. 

I'm done with my opinion or rant, whatever you what to call it. Welcome back anyways. Looking forward to seeing the progress on your vette and tech help.

My email address is SARGE81vettenut@msn.com if you have any questions or comments regarding my post.

Welcome back, Ben!  Glad to hear you're doing well (busier than heck, but well). I was just telling Daveb12 how I missed you all's exchanges of Vette knowledge. It was a beautiful thing.
