    think it's time

    I've thought long and hard about it and thought 70K was my retirement pretty sure it's close to time to hang it up. thanks for the ride fellas it sure has been a fun ride. But time to move on. I'll check in but getting burned out after 20 years. Been here since Day one from the old board. Member # 58 thanks for letting me try and help you all. Peace, Fred. More than enough help here to contribute.

    Wow, all I can say is thanks for all of your great help over the years. I've not posted a ton on this forum but I have lurked and read a LOT, and almost without exception you were a main contributor to the answers I was seeking. So thanks again and enjoy your "retirement"...!

    Thank you for all of your help and insight Fred. Made me a better and happy Johnson / E-Rude owner. Hope to see you some day at Riverside Marine in Old Hickory. Think you can sweet talk Rusty into another return to the forum?

    You're not going anywhere Young Man, This is in your blood and you enjoy it. You'll still be answering questions way after I'm long gone. You're a valuable source of information with a sense of helping others. Something this 'ole world really needs right now. Hang Tight !
