Default 20? What??

Just realized I went by my 20 year anniversary here.

It's snowing and blowing 40 mph gusts outside, so my creativity to say something profound escapes me (an old friend from GA used to tell me that snow kills brain cells)

So, I'll just put up a tune that says what I'm feeling...

Tempus Fugit, why yes it does....

This remastered version sounds much better than the vinyl did all those years ago!

Todd,

I appreciate all the knowledge you've shared with us over the years. You're a good guy and have helped many here on the forum.

Funny you should post that song. On a whim last night at work, I searched Spotify for Fragile by Yes and listened to the album for the first time in decades.

Good stuff, Maynard.....

All the best to you buddy!

Danno

Well, that's a long standing relationship! I don't know if congrats are in order, but no matter how you look at it, that is an accomplishment, in and of itself, to continue on any path for 20 years!

I know you were here when I came aboard, and I've enjoyed and commiserated your threads and posts...

Thanks for being around, Todd!

Congrats, Todd! I'm guessing this place agrees with you!

Always look forward to your posts when they arrive here.....keep'em coming!

And, hang in there with that storm! We're getting pounded here with rain and the same kind wind.

Thanks guys - you are all very kind.

Hard to believe it's been that long.

In a few months it will be 20 years since I started my own fitness studio too (after 16 years in the business already - no wonder I'm tired)

Todd: You belong to a very select group; in fact, you may be the only member of that group. Not sure....

You know people have been telling me that as long as I remember - but I don't think it was a compliment

Seriously, there are a handful of regulars that have been here longer than me, and still participate.

Because of this place I've met a lot of friends - some in person who I've become close to, and unfortunately lost a few too.

When I get rid of this nasty WORK word, I'm planning on doing some ultralight traveling in a Little Guy Joey, so hopefully my itinerary will allow me to meet more of you (and maybe borrow your driveway )

Acousticado and LKR, just mentioned they have been here the same amount of time, not the only member, but certainly an exclusive club which I will likely never join as I have only been here 8 years and who knows what or where or if I will be in 12 years.

Congrats to Todd and the other members of that exclusive club.
