Hi everybody
I am a lurker. I've been reading here since 2001 and never posted before.The reason for this post is because I was recently reading some old posts and realized MadReferee had died.I got to looking thru some other old posts and realized there were others that are gone now, and I had never talked to them.I had read so many of their posts that I felt like I knew them, and some of you that are still out there, and had not taken the time to say hi or thank you for your time,insight,wisdom,comedy,etc...... You've kept me informed,safe, and at times laughing hysterically.I have some of MadReferees projects on my computer so I can build them in the future.Bird, I have everything you ever wrote on the top and tilt project of yours, several years ago, and that was before I got the my 2910.I bought a B7500 in 2001 directly because of this site. I traded it this summer with 980 hours on it for a 2910 with 250 hours on it. I have a binder full of information many of you have shared over the years. and felt like it was time to thank all of you. I may not post real often, but I'm almost always here.

Jeff, we're glad you finally decided to join us.:D Welcome to Tractorbynet. And yes, unfortunately we've lost some very valuable members, some to death, some who either found other interests or got too busy to participate, but we've also gained a lot of new and knowledgeable members. I guess that's probably true of most groups or organizations.

Agreed. It was thoughful of you to say so, IKE76. I need to take more time to appreciate everyone here, too, for who they are and not just their skills or knowledge.

Well Jeff welcome aboard...FINALLY.:D I also miss some that have moved on but as Bird said we have some great new contributers also.

By the way, DeKalb is my hometown and my folks as well as some close friends live up there still. I spent a week there at Thanksgiving but it is too dang cold for my old bones now.
