About when we had VTTW's 10th anniversary party at the lake with TRO's family. It struck me that the 10 years between the board inception and that party seemed like forever (to me). But the 8 years between that party and now have been a blink of an eye.

Thinking. Always a dangerous thing to do without proper supervision.

Wow...can't believe it was 8 years ago. That means I had a 2 year old and a newborn at that party, and made the trip down from MI. I now have a 10, 8 and 6 year old, and can do that trip in about 25 minutes or so.

Isn't it funny how much more quickly time moves as we get older? My 20-year high school reunion is next year. 20 years!! It seems like yesterday I was walking across the stage with my diploma in my hand. And when that same amount of time elapses again, I'll be pushing 60. That is simultaneously scary and depressing.  

I remember well when we all left the old utvols.com site and headed over here. Boy, I thought I knew it all back then.

Got my 50 year reunion coming up before too long. Funny, I can remember my high school years much better than my college years. I guess that's the  effect.

This board has been on the SMF platform riding solo for about as long as it was on the Mudduck. Chew on that for a minute.

Our 20 year was 3 years ago. We were all a lot more fun at 38 than we were at 18. I suspect 25 will not be the same.

Next May I will be eligible for Medicare. Tell your children to pay up. I'm going to suck the life out of the thing.

nope, two things:
1) you don't exist
2) you would take Friday afternoons off

Bonus, droner's liver is well preserved ...
