I'd like to thank Chris Brancaccio for letting me back on.

Now I'm going to post the photos I took on the ride. Dick Lodge and Kent are true hero's of this hobby, alongside with other people who I'm not going to mention as they know who they are.

I had to compress these photos. I will also be going back to Kent's later this summer, hopefully he'll have the Tudor Sedan running by then.

As said, I am going back this summer!

Also, these photos had to be compressed and the color on them aren't as good as the original photos.

Thanks for the photos, Garrett. I think the smiles say everything!

Good to see you back, Garrett. I now ask a big favor of you. Along with the history of the model T, is the history of human change, and hopefully growth. Some of us old geezers adapt to continuing change easier than others. Kids have always been impatient. Manners have been declining for more than a hundred years. But the change between those two things has been extreme in the past forty years. (In the 1960s, boys still wore nice shirts and ties to school, and called the teacher ma'am.) It is as important for you to understand us, as it is for us to accept you. Be patient with us. And try to be kind toward our old ways.
Dxrxixvxex Ride carefully, and enjoy, W2

Honestly, I don't think anyone here is really a "geezer." A Geezer in my dictionary is a strict, mean old person. No one on this forum really fits that sobriquet. My grandpa is sort of a geezer, but not the best example.

I am officially one.

So an official geezer says welcome back.

Garrett, you'd love me. I've been thinking of changing my name to 'Walter'.

Steve, no matter how old YOU are you're never a geezer, even though you call yourself one.

Steve is one of my "best friends" on this website and he hasn't gave me any problems whatsoever -- so you're not a real geezer. Same way with Dick Lodge, Kent G., John Berch, Dane Hawley, and a few others.

Out of sheer, vulgar curiosity I opened your geezer website. And I had a marvelous read there. Thank you!

And, by the way, welcome back to Garrett!

Steve--I've been enjoying your web site this last hour or so while I should have been doing something something productive and had I to do it over again----I would!! Enjoyed it--thanks for posting!!

Honestly, I love Steve's website. It's one of my favorites!

Steve's got a great website. I almost feel like I know him personally after reading it and watching his videos. I must say he hasn't developed that southern Kansas twang in his accent yet. :-)

I've always thought there was a difference between Geezers and Crotchety old men. Guess I should have looked it up. :-)


Welcome back Garrett.

John

No, that's what I think.

Definition from Google: An old man (used as a disparaging term).

Also, John Berch I'd like to thank you for the book. I've only read 13 pages into it but will read more this summer.
