Met one of our members today & this is alot of reading
Hey guys and gals, I wanted to let the community know about one of our members I met today. We had exchanged numbers a few days ago and spoke very little on the phone. We had it lined up that he was going to come over on Sat. but I was down in my back pretty bad so we set it for another time.
He called the next day to see how I was doing but had to leave me a voice mail as I was not home. I thought that was super nice of him and I went to call him back and couldn't find his number, I have a very playful, sneaky cat that not only did something with the paper his number was on but also took my Old Timer pocket knife which I have yet to find lol. I opted to PM him to get his number again. He answered my PM with his number and told me to call him today. I called and we set a time and I gave him directions to my house. I was already out in the garage piddleing when I heard this beautiful sound so I had to look out to see what it was. It was him and his truck. He shut her down as I was trying to get out of the garage and make it to his truck as I had to see what made such a tune to my ears. We shook hands and I asked to look at his truck. He popped the hood and man it was a beautiful sight, a stroked small block that you could tell had been put together with loving care. We talked a little about his truck as I made my way around it. Very nice Custom 10 Deluxe that you could see was loved very much by it's owner. This is the first person I have ever met from the computer and I am not in good shape anymore and just so happened my back started acting crazy so I had my little two shot 38 derringer in my pocket for safety. No I'm not scared nor am I a wimp but I have gotten cautious since my accident. I want everyone to know that is one of the most polite, kind, knowledgeable Man I have ever met! Our visit went great, he helped me get my little S10 uncovered from winter storage and we fired her up and he helped me get some numbers off the back of the block on my truck and I had wanted those numbers for quite some. We talked about motors and our trucks and a little about our backgrounds.He met my Dad when he came home and once again very polite. He would have helped me put the steering column in and I would have let him as he is very knowledgeable on mechanics but like I said my back started acting crazy. We talked a little more, I showed him some things I had bought for my truck as I was comfortable letting him in my house and we shook hands and he left. This goes to show you or it showed me that there are still honest decent people in this world and I hope to build a forever lasting friendship with this feller. I just wanted to share this with ya'll and maybe it will put a little better feeling in your stomach about how our society is going.

Oh I totally understand your position. My conceal weapon is a .357 Sig. I make sure its on my hip when buying and selling to strangers in person. Especially when dealing with Craigslist.

Re: Met one of our members today & this is alot of reading
Well my regular carry weapon is my Glock but it would have been noticeable and I didn't want for him to think I was some kind of nut so I just put my little derringer in my front pocket and you couldn't tell it was there. I know what you mean about Craigs List, it's a wonderful free bargain mart but I have met some strange people when buying stuff and also I never go alone, I get a buddy to go with me and he carries protection as well.

I take the .44 and its in plain sight. I usually take atleast one other person with me too. mainly with craigslist dealings. For some reason I just dont trust that site. Too many scammers.

Re: Met one of our members today & this is alot of reading
I've met quite a few. Mostly good except Dennis & Ellen like to pick on me. Ellen calls me names like "boogerbear". Dennis tells other members to dump volvo engines on my property.

Re: Met one of our members today & this is alot of reading
Just went though the list of people that I have met here and list is at 91. Not one that I am sorry to have met except Sillyoldman.
I have bought two trucks from members and have been very pleased with what I got. This has turned out to be a very great place to meet friends.

Re: Met one of our members today & this is alot of reading
If we have one and the good Lord is willing I will be there. Heck, I might even consider hosting one with Bama if thats something he would enjoy. I have noticed one of our members in White House, TN. does alot of things maybe he will chime in here.

Re: Met one of our members today & this is alot of reading
One down 60,000 to go.I have probably met at least 200 members.I have never met one I didn't like.I have a few who have become some of the best friends I have ever had.I usually get to meet 3-4(new ones) at Charlotte and another 2-3(new ones) at the "Gathering of the Goofs".I met about 50-60 at a NBM in 2007.I even have a banner with the old Board logo and sigs from 50 or so members.
Meet them if ya can they is good folk.
