Apologies

[mtruckstuff]

Time to apologize to friends.

A little while back, I gave the State of Michigan a good rip on behalf of my friend Eric Walton. I was rude and out of line, but only hoped I could spare a friend some grief. My only excuse is that I'm sort of trapped in a bad situation. This is a really good group, and I managed to do a pretty good job of showing my a$$ to all of you. I really am sorry.

Eric, I truly wish nothing but the best for you and your family.

But you're truly a nice a$$, Paul.

Once upon a time...

...in this land, not long ago, a Gentleman once said to me that a Man of Honor is one who can admit a mistake. It's always toughest to do in front of his friends, & those he respects.

While I missed your 'gaff', you also have shown your true metal. Well done.

Yeah, well you didn't talk me out of it anyway, so no harm no foul.

I was going to post on that thread that it looks almost certain that we'll be heading that way now.

To be fair to Michigan, you were the lone standout in having such a bad take on things

If we end up that way sometime soon (have to check out Kate's lab and start looking around) I'll be sure to let you buy me a beer

Honestly, I figured you'd just had a really bad day...

Eric,
Actually, I've had a bad 3 years here, probably because of my connection with the Auto Industry. Once they figure out how to compete with the foreign makers and once Americans at least give American brands a shot, (I know, I know, there's foreign content in all of them, and I don't want to get started on that), Michigan WILL recover.

You'll be fine, and I wish you nothing but the best. Drop a line and I WILL buy you a beer. I know a great Irish Pub near here.

Oh, I forgot to mention that my family is now located in Loveland, Colorado. My wife is back in her profession and is literally giddy about being back home again. Anyone who can put up with this grumpy old man is certainly welcome to use my place as a base to go do a little 'Crawlin'. Have pretty big house out there. PM me.

Craig, You're such a stitch!!

Good luck in Loveland. It is a lice little town.

I used to live up in the Mountians above and North of Boulder. Would make a lot of bike rides down onthe plains out through that town.

Good to see you back on here.

Thanks Carl,
5 years ago we lived above Fort Collins and loved it. Spent 9 years there. Circumstances and jobs forced us elsewhere. I pray this will be our final stop and we can avoid the East forever. Look me up if you travel West.
