 Geez fellas , chill , alright . Unfortunately Luap wouldn't accept my resignation , maybe I just need a break . Please don't turn this into something it was never meant to be , fair enough ?

 For all of you who have sent PM's , they are all appreciated , if I don't personally respond it isn't because the messages aren't welcome . Like I said in the original thread , I'm simply dealing with some personal issues , and maybe I overstated the situation , but please respect the intent .

 I want to say something to some of the newer members , Rocker had this place cleaned up before long before my arrival , and while our styles are somewhat different , if you want to thank someone , thank him . Mike may have stepped back a little when he gave the reins to his friend from Oklahoma , but he was always here . Then thank Luap for all he does behind the scenes to keep this place functioning smoothly .

 Thanks ,

 Dusty

Whew!  I was fearing Dusty had crashed the Wildguzzi corporate helicopter or sank the yacht. And Luap was tractoring a big hole deep in the Ozark hills to hide the evidence of Italian corporate discipline.   :evil:
The best part of riding a motorcycle is to tilt the horizon and to lift the front coming out of a corner and to drift the back end powering thru loose dirt and to catch a little air topping a hill and... yeah it's all good!

Whether you read this or not, you seem to have gained the respect of everyone you’ve touched here.
You are able to clip me under the ear with one hand and help me up with the other. Roper’s words went closest to what I tried to say, so I trust people will respect your wishes as you have theirs.
Dusty is a good name for you.
You’re not really aware of it’s omni-presence until it’s been removed and it’s usually gathered on things that you take for granted..
Thank you for your guidance when Mum died.

Honestly, Dusty's tune changed when I threatened to pull his privileges from the corporate yacht and jet :evil:

Give the man some space and support. I've been there. I can't tell you all how many times I was ready to pull the plug on this Hobby and a skinny little hippy in Kansas named Chet pulled me back in. 

Our team is great. I keep the wheels greased, the ecu tuned and kick those out that need it. Chet is my backup Admin in case something happens to my account and he also helps with consulting and is an advisor to us all. He's actually going through a lot at this time too, so a good thought his way would be welcomed and appreciated. I'll leave it at that and please don't bug him.

Rocker and Dusty are my superstars whom I consider friends. There is NO WAY I could keep up with moderator duties as well as greasing the wheels while working a real job as much as I do.

Lastly my rock is LaSandra. She gives me the female perspective of things and is well, just a lot of fun to have around :evil:.

We're a lucky crew to have a good group of members as well.  Really the board can run itself, but every now and then even the Maytag man has do some routine maintenance.

Hope everyone is well, healthy and keeping the rubber side down.
