No trailer problems the last 2 years..just to be sure this trip I had Eddie follow along. All the WSWSC members at Norris were diggin' meeting him & JoAnne.
Pete: we called our guys OUPS (ohio utility protection service) and yes..we Loved those guys. They made us lots of money. Just can't get into the bald banter guys.....afraid if I got started my hair might fall out! john |

They got this really cool thing called sunscreen now. Combined with a bimini, no hats required. You guys should buy some stock.
I made sure that JBears trailer had the bearing packed the right way the last couple of years. We definitely need to keep sharp instruments out of his hands. |

When people run down to the lake to see what's making that noise, you've succeeded.

 Ouch Gary, that hurt!
Yeah, for real Pete... I'd hate to be the phone guy repairing the lines that John worked on previously. Maybe Ma-Bell forced him into retirement cause it was cheaper to pay him a pension then to pay someone to fix his fixes. I'm thinking maybe he learned his lesson and took his engine mechanic with him and made him follow close behind. Just in case! Good thing is i haven't gotten a call yet this year for Foot's CCFan roadside assistance but ski season ain't over yet!

Yup, they didn't call JULIE and even then they aren't always correct! I love municipal water main mapping as well as Nicor piping records. They have NO idea of what's going on!

Trouble is the reason you are called there in the first place is someone did the cutting for you-----

Tim,
Hopefully this year the guy will not have trailer problems again! I'd hate to see him cut again since he doesn't know how to use a pocket knife! You would think a cable splicer with all the years behind him would know better!

Well the jbear and Patti are on their way to Knoxville for 2 weeks on Norris Lake. He called me last week and said they wanted to stop by the airport and have lunch me but needed a place to park two rigs cause a "buddy" was coming with him. Ok John no problem.... So I give him directions to a Greek place thats popular with the airport employees. Leave it to John to leave out who this buddy was!
 None other then Backfoot100 himself.... Geez John, why didn't you tell me it was Eddie!

Tim,
When you talk to him again (or I'll give him a call) tell him he has to do what I do when I'm up north without a computer. Go in town and use the one at the library!! I have been wondering where's he's been!! The guy does seem to have plenty of computer problems! I think some or most are his own! You'd think for a guy that connected wires all his life he'd have more computer savvy!!

Bumping this up from 2007.
I got a call from the Jbear this morning saying he, Patti & Jo "The Tenn Wonderdog" wanted to hook up for lunch on his way thru GA to Tenn. I had to work today so he said no problem we just meet somewhere's round the airport. Long story short we hooked up for lunch just off the runway here in ATL. He wanted me to pass along that he'd be off the site for about 3 weeks and possibly longer when he got home as both computers at the house are down. Thanks again John and Patti for jumping off the interstate and even taking a unplanned tour of the Int'l terminal constrution area to have lunch with a boat buddy.

Reid...classic, what a great discovery. I can't quite make out the writing in yellow underneath the Jbear, but I'm pretty sure its says loud pipes saves lives, doesn't it?

I always wondered how jbear became so good at dealing with and mentoring us young guys. I recently found he's got a real background in it. Here is his Child Development Center. This is actually a real place here in Mooresville NC, in one of the main Nascar race shop parks where employees can drop off their kids. When I peered over the fence however, I swear I saw some kids that looked just like Hollywood, Johnny, Tim Benj, Nateski, and a few other young'uns, all wearing grr-animal or underoo shorties.

Thanks jbear,
I'll shoot for January - I would love to meet up with you, MM and the ladies. In Feb work takes me to Mexico, a beautiful place called Mayakoba (7th and 15th greens are on the Gulf of Mexico). I shot you an email through the site, let me know if you got it. Mike |

Mike; Have been meaning to call but lost your number. I have the pattern sitting on the kitchen counter. Got real busy with 3 work camps thru my job then left here for 3 weeks, 2 in Tennessee and 1 in North Carolina where I was lucky enough to visit the fabulous Pinkham Complex. I will search around to see if I lost your address.
In my job I work with people who need community service. Tell your "parloe officer" you need some community service time around January or February. Me and MM and our ladies will show ya a good time. john |

jbear,
Love hearing about the guys getting together! 62 - nice call getting this thread started. I was hoping to meet the NE guys at the upcoming reunion but it is looking less and less likely (work - wish I was retired). For now, I will live vicariously through posts like this. More pics please... Mike ps - jbear, where is that pattern? I'm itching to build another platform and I have found a good local source for teak and Ipe. C'mon now, my parole officer is counting on you. pps - I don't have a parole officer |
