Yikes...5k and 1 year with TRF

It's been a great year with you guys and girls. I have learned so much since I started here, TRF is one of the best forums out there. Thank you to all the great members and the moderators.

Way to go Kyle! Rolex owes you one for helping keep the Explorer relevant. Without your posts I don't know that we would see one pop up more than a few times a month. It's a classic, no doubt about it.

Very impresive Kyle.

Sorry to say but I would be happier with 4999 less posts and all that wasted time transferred into schoolwork and I am sure you will eventually work this out for yourself.

Ask me how I know this.

I have 8 kids and 12 grandchildren.

Kyle, how is it that we have both been on TRF for ~ the same amount of time and you have 5k posts and I have less than 700

Thanks for the kind words guys.

9th grade is not that bad right now, the work load isn't that bad. But as Sophomore year comes around I will probably have less time to be on.
