    Hello Old Friends!






    Wow! I can't believe how long I've been on this site! (Even though I've taken some long breaks.) Though it says I came aboard in 2009, I actually remember making friends and posting ere since 2000!!! I've missed you, a lot. You still make it an easy sign in for me - Amazing that you haven't forgot about me. Thank you! I could never forget all of you!

                Patti, you are welcome here and you will always be welcome here.
                and
                Yes, your memory is correct: you were here before this iteration of GSR came to be.

                      Thanks Everyone for this extra warm reception. Again, You've touched my heart We've been through a lot over the past 26 years.
                      I'm still the same old 'goof-off' that I've always been. Only the bones are much creakier! LOL Finally figured out it is/was caused by this little body trying too keep up with you big strong men, in the field of pro-stock motorcycle racing. (And in most cases if not all, exceeding the guys efforts, by winning! LOL!)
                      In any case God has been so Good to me, in so many ways I've lost count!
                      This forum & my seen, & unseen GSR Keyboard Friends is One of His Blessings. You people have gotten me thru a LOT!
                      Does anyone remember when I got jumped at the local redneck bar while tending bar there? I have a complete print out of that here, somewhere. It was very serious back then! Court cases you guys stuck with me thru, and all!! Nowadays it's a hoot of laughs because, with your help, I lived thru it.

                          It was a long time ago for sure...I barely have a recollection of you mentioning the incident.

                          Great to hear the GSR was there for you during that part of your life.
