Rodbolt, I just checked in on this post and read your response and thought -- closing in on 10K myself? Yeah, right!<br /><br />Then I actually looked at the number. You're right again, as usual...

whats really sad is just replying to a thread doesnt actually pad your count. means I really really need a life :) :) <br /> only way I see the counter count is posting a new topic or the first answer to a topic, all the rest dont seem to click the counter.

Congratulations, and thanks for the help. <br /><br />Out of the Navy in 95. That makes you still a young man. Very wise for your years.<br /><br />I trust you have been as thorough in your research on arthritis as in things mechanical. They are spending tons of money nowdays on research into arthritis - wanting to sell pills to boomers like me. If you have the right kinds of arthritis they can do miracles.

Re: Rodbolt Hits 10,000....posts

so far for the spondyoartheritis about all there is is anti-imflamatories. most of which I have developed reactions to.<br /> good news is the disese normally does not continue speading after the mid 40's.<br /> bad news is so far they dont know how to treat it other than with tylenol.<br /> my feet have been so swollen that since yesterday afternoon my feet dont fit in my shoes.<br /> I hope they ease up by tomorrow.<br />at least I was not running a fever with this attack. and sometimes I get the fever and the shakes and look like a malaria victim for a couple hours.<br /> those attacks are bad ones.<br />yep went from E-1 to E-2 as an FC in just under 3 years, had it not been for the medical issue my goal was E-7 in 10 and I would be 2 years from a full retirement now.<br /> however life likes to toss them curve balls. and you can go out swinging or stand at the plate and look silly :) .<br /> but most of the pills worry me about the long term effects so I try not to take them.

R/B...This is my first post here, just to tell ya-<br />I've been reading your answers to folks questions for 7 or 8 months now, mostly to learn all I can about the old, but in good shape, '93 Yam 150 I bought on an '87 Pursuit. And yeah, I got the factory manual. :) <br />I really didn't need to see a resume, to know you are one savy motor man.<br />Congratulations on your longevity and possible new teaching postion. You have to be their man.

Rodbolt,<br /><br />I can only very occasionally get onto iboats as there's an issue with some Aussie ISPs being barred from the site. However, when I do get on, the first thing I do is search for your latest posts... they're truly words of wisdom and have helped me no end in making my boating so far a pleasurable experience. Keep up the good work and enjoy your time with your Mother and girlfriend. Thanks,<br /><br />Mark.

quinn and triton<br /> its responses like this that tonight, first time I logged in in a bit, made me rethink my position.<br /> maybe in all the bumbling posts I have made I actually have helped some folks out. even with my typos and poor grammer.<br /> seems I have difficulty keeping off DC.<br /> and seems quite a few folks on DC seem to never post anywhere else or even debate issues.<br /> I quit because of it for a bit.<br /> however I think maybe I can continue to help if I can stay off DC :) .<br />yes I have a year or so experience in this gig. maybe more than I wish to admit.<br />so yall keep up the questions and ill try to stay off DC :) .<br /> I am happy that apperently over the years I have helped some folks, would like to see how many some that fired me up on DC helped.

Simply put, there is no one better than Rodbolt.<br /><br />He is a Yamaha "God" in my mind.<br /><br />When people ask questions on other internet forums like THT, I tell them to stop playing around and register on IBoats.com and ask for Rodbolt.<br /><br />Rodbolt: Thank you for all your years of help ! :D :D :D
