See you on the flip side!

Haven't been on here much, been busy to say the least but it will be a while till I'm on here again, just thought I'd say I'll be back later, probably lol. But regardless I wanted to say thanks.


Lots of radical changes in my life, including killing my digital life completely, leaving the internet souly for research and business (this topic is mainly because I felt it rude to just go without saying thanks and goodbye). As a result I'm on the internet a whole lot less to begin with and since I can't work on my truck right now, I don't have much reason to research anything. For these reasons I can't promise I'll be back though, only because I've found the less of a digital life I have the better the quality of my real life, and I don't have much desire for digital anything anymore. (It curbs the desire to interact with people in real life as you get just enough of it in a digital one. Sort of like eating a couple crackers an hour might make you feel you're not hungry for dinner. The difference has been night and day.)

I'm sure one day I'll have questions again and also want to show some progress, but I can't honestly say when that day will come and it's possible it might be so long away that it's too long away. Hence a proper good-bye.


So, thanks to everyone for all of their help, you've all made my build a lot easier and more fun



See you around, and if you're in the Austin, TX area and see my truck, feel free to say hello! (Probably be a couple months till I am driving around down there though, maybe longer seeing as my truck still doesn't like to stop anything short of a bus length)

Thanks again everyone

So if I respond to a thread from a fellow who just told us that he's not coming back, does it show up on my count?

Good night and good luck

There is a lot between the lines of your goodbye. Our posting careers didn't cross much here but I wish you luck, and hope you find happiness in whatever you are searching for.

I also didn't meet up with you much, but felt your pain in the job search. Hope all goes well in your new endeavours. Always loved the look of your truck and I will miss your avatar. Dang, she's cute....

Welcome to Austin! We need to get a FTE BBQ scheduled at some point. There's quite a few effie owners in this area. Try to get your contact info to someone, and good for you...I envy you for divorcing the World Wide Waste-of-Time.

Best of luck Stephen, just remember that change can be a good thing and that we will be here when you get back to working on your truck.

Hey Stephen,
Welcome to Austin! This might be the most digital hipster place on earth - You may want to rethink that aspect of your move. It's already been 85 degrees in January so sell your snow tires. I like Boz's plan for an FTE get together - maybe we can get Zoot & Topmoo to come up from Houston.
