This was one trip I would have given a lot to be on. Somehow missed the postings during the actual trip, too much to do here and not enough money to throw everything down and join the convoy. Getting sentimental here looking at old pics of that road. I have a special request. I went through...

Going down memory lane a it the last few months. I was looking for pics on my stay in Toad River Mile 422 Alaska Highway and suddenly found back this pic. After finishing my study at the the University (1985), I was a bit lost and had enough of all the theoretical stuff. So I worked at a small...

Do you guys really have to ruin my Sunday? Now you got me thinking and watering around the mouth again :drool:. I do not need it but it would be a nice attachment and third option to my dump truck - tractor. How do these things work as to hydraulics etc. Can I run that from my dump hydraulics?

In the Netherlands there were large discussions about this, basically about the "eveybody should know The Law". In todays society and with the speed laws change also EU and country laws (on your side Federal and State law) that is impossible. However, they thought of a nice little sentence to...

If I may suggest, when desciribing your efforts, use words like counter or tackle; attack, although probably the proper word here, sounds aggrssive. Maybe too carefull here, but a lot of people, maybe including the opposition, is reading this (and therefore this comment also, oops)

Heck, thought I would take a peek at the live video, but both GA houses give "offline"

Why not, an easy way to save $5 and still get that warm feeling that I donated $10 :grin: :wink: . Applying incentives on multiple levels, very good. (anyway, it was time to bump this again, today is the day)

Thanks, I thought it would be not possible with the "today's post" knowing how that works. One option might be to add a "today's important thread" link to the yellow banner above the threads (I mean the one with no politics or auction references) but that probably will go too far and a lot of...

I am not sure if it is technically possible but would it be possible for moderators to make a thread a "sticky" in Today's posts? For example, things concerning site outing or other site problems. Very often, the amount of new threads pushes those threads quickly to the background. Another one...

Papabear, that's not the new norm, I think it always or mostly was like that even in the USA, maybe with exception of the 19th century settlers on the plains; no free rides there. With some exceptions, that is the rule in most EU countries as well. The main exception: bobbing or making any...

Zout and Swiss (and the others) Hang in there guys. I know this feeling like trowing in, to heck with it etc etc. Banged my head against that wall so often I have extra bumps to show for it. Especially with our US non-profit. Then I got into an enlightening argument with two of my best...

Its amazing how quick a tread gets snowed under these days; this thread is down already to the lower end of page 2 of updated threads in just a few hours. :wink: :wink:

BUMP Payback time, help those who help

As a director of a non-profit, I can fully support these feelings; been there and done that, have a sore throat and empty bank account to proof it :) :wink:. And really guys and galls, they should not need to be begging us. As they say, this is not only a small local topic but a test case and...

No worries, mate, Sorry I couldn't do more, all our private money gets eaten up by our own non-profit.

As said, I was a bit tired. I do have PayPal for our US non-profit, but without money. So I first donated money to our own US non-profit to get something there, then I used that account to send money your way. At least for as long as this action goes on, maybe add a line to your signatures...

Swiss and Zout, Its getting late here and I am a bit overworked, so maybe a bit dense as well. Zout, your argument of the lot of small donations is correct, although I never managed to get it working to our organization. Then again, I am not bad in some things I do but certainly am a lousy...

Gympyrobb, nothing to do with the thread, but I now noticed your rotating-self-refreshing avatar. Nice (and not only because the girls :hammer:, just never saw the concept before)

Thanks for the video. You would like to do that only with flat seas and very good weather forecasts that is, minimum winds for a day beforehand already etc. I have been sailing there and that North See can be one nasty piece of business even in nice weather and it can change very quickly. The...

The Dutch used stranger things to cross the seas. But if you come, W&P might be a cheaper way for me to meet some SteelSoldier people than going to the USA for it. :beer: :beer: On that note, maybe, maybe, maybe we will go to a blacksmith meeting in Delaware August 13-16, 2014. Any trips or MV...
