Happy birthday indeed. I've been here 14 years and 2 months. Can't believe Jeff hasn't booted me by now. Heck, I don't recall even ever being out to the woodshed.  :D

It has been a fun ride, for sure.  Jeff, my dad test flew B17's during the war, and while looking at the old posts there was a shot of your father in his flight suit for flying B17's, and I thought it possible he flew one of my dad's test flight planes. 

Ya never know about this sort of thing.  6 degrees and all that stuff.

Thank you Jeff for this fine and funny forum.It is a great and safe place to gain knowledge,enjoy fellowship,and give each other the needle now and then.
I love reading about the origin of the forum and as Marcel says it's a long way from beginning to end with a few detours to navigate.
Is there CAKE?

Thanks and happy birthday to the Forum.  It really has opened my eyes to ideas and know how.  But mainly I feel part of an elite worldwide group. With out the Forum, I would not have ever drove to Mich or Miss to eat pork and chicken, respectively.  And I would missed sycamore projects.  I have met lot nice ppl thru this Forum.  Thanks Jeff for all your hard work.
