When this thread was posted back in October 18, I made a mental note to post on my 15th anniversary, which of course Came and went (January 8, 2004) and I forgot all about it. So I am doing it now.

So I joined 1/8/04. This was my first post.

I had forgotten. I thought this was my first post.

I didn't post again until august, when I had changed my name to "75 Tique", an unfortunate error since it was early CCF days and I had no idea there was no such thing as a 75 tique, but that's what was on the title, so what did I know.

Since then, a few good memories,

-Finding and bringing home my Tique from Wolfboro NH



(Originally went to look at this Al Tyll, but came home with the Tique)



-Meeting my first CCF friend to ski - Ken Spurling
-Multiple ski outings in MA with Brad, Ken, Keith, Tim
-Gatherings at Sokokis, Northwood, Lake George, Tim's
-Beers with Brian Hall and Brian Mullin in Boston
-Skiing with Dip and Brian Mullin on my home lake in MA
-Much technical support from Tim, Joe, Pete, KenO, BoatDr.
-Gatherings at White Lake
-Periodic trips and one formal gathering at Reids, plus one trip over to meet Skutsch and hang out with him and Steve K and Reid.
-Meeting Marty Mabe
-A cold October outing on my lake with Reid and Adam
-Finally meeting my old school comrade, JBear before a white lake gathering when he, Bill and the Monohans dropped by Seven Lakes
-And subsequent Double BF runs with John just about every time we've met up since.
-Other Double runs with Brad, Tim, Joe, Greg, Scott, Uncle Todd, Adam, Hollywood, there must be others
-Hollywood coming to Seven Lakes for a couple outings
-At this point, almost countless LLBD training outings with Greg at Badin
-All 4 Badin Fest Gatherings, to date.
-Getting talked into NYD Barefoot tourney (2x)
-Keno's and David's generous contributions to my causes.

And many more memorable times.

Yup, its been a pretty good run, looking forward to another 15 years.

wow....15 years.

don't know where I would be without the friendships made here and all the reunions attended.

7895 posts...

That pretty much says it all

And one of the best parts of the gig has been the start to finish refurbishment/stringer replacement threads by a bunch of people over the years.

They usually came looking for help/ideas and by the time they were done their projects were pretty impressive.

I'd start listing them, but invariably some people would be left off so I won't list any of them.
They're easy enough to find with a search.

By the way Pete, you'll notice I didn't use the "restoration" word

Im glad to be here. "Since 2007"

Larry,
The link to the search expired. It's happened to me too. I tried using your key words "bacerd+movin+motor " and the CCfan search didn't come up with anything. Yes, the "bacerd" did change our vocabularies!

HW—the expression on your face says something like “people buy $150k boats to do THIS?”

My favorite post was the “learning to barefoot” post about the definition of “taco”.

Kevin pretends to be one of us be we all know he is one of those PN thurfers that looks down upon us silly old boat owners.

KENO wrote: This is like a trip down memory lane link

Yes, we sure can't forget 79. Actually, he did provide plenty of comical times.

KENO wrote: There have been some pretty impressive engineering feats documented thru the years

Speaking of engineering, I wonder if any of the following was done?

Trust me I have not forgotten my post on PN.

Quinner turned out perfectly normal later in life though   

Fits my definition of normal anyways
