Just came across this thread.... it is understated. Eddie Will go out of the way to help you chase down someone else's wiring fantasy and then won't accept any form of payment. He's a great guy and an asset to this site and sport.

I also told him to call me anytime if he has any questions. You do the same. Thanks again.

Thank you everyone else for the kind words. I really, really appreciated it. I'm always glad to help someone that needs it. That's what this site was all about. Not the drama filled nonsense. I wish it was still like it used to be, but I guess all things change. The sad fact is that drama is what draws a crowd and interests people. All you have to do is simply look at the drama filled threads and the number of views they have. That tells the whole story. Whereas a thread with someone looking for advice or help only has a hand full of views and even less responses. The guys that help know who they are....SB, Haxby, FIXX Mike T, Mild Thunder, etc. These are the guys that make this site what it is. They deserve a bunch of the praise.

The fact that you mentioned my name means alot, esp coming from a guy of your caliber. I've had local buddies that see me post, say "why do you even bother". Truth is, I love this stuff, and love helping a guy out. I just try to pass along info I have gathered from guys like you, mark rinda, alex, Bob M, Dean Gellner, Laz Mesa, and a bunch of others who all contributed for the good at one time or another here on oso. I learned a long time ago, to forget what you hear at the bar when it comes to what to do with these boats. There was, and still is some great info on here.

Eddie, you were a huge help to me a few years back when I was building my engines. There were several things along the way that I was unsure of, and wanted that second opinion. You always came thru, steering me in the right direction. When my head was spinning, all it took was one email, or one phone call, and you talked me right off the cliff!

I still have not got a chance to shake your hand in person, but I promise that day will come. Thanks again Buddy. Hope all is well, and have fun at the shootout! Be safe.

Fact the matter is there's some people on here that if you see that they have posted you just want to see what they have to say, no matter the topic, Eddie is certainly one!

Joe, you're pretty damn helpful too!

Eddie was one of my first calls when my 502 went south, unfortunately the timing just didn't work out.
