O.K. my fellow puppies,mutts,dogs & bastids this here post is my 1,000th.some people come up with wild,crazy & special things for their 1,000th post but this is all i got ya know.

the yard is my second home.it is what i call my "home forum".i may wonder to other sites and forums but the 'yard is what i call home.

the 'yard has a vibe all its own.it is one that is very peaceful,close,informative,relaxed,drama free & wholesome even with knuckle heads like myself roaming around.

my goal in life and here is to be and stay honest even if its not always convenient and i apologize for any feathers i could've ruffled along the way.

i have asked myself why and how this forum stays so positive and trouble free and i think its probably due to the diligent work of its incredible and fair moderators and the foundation that dan laid down in the first place.

you guys are all just plain out "good dudes" and there are some very informative and smart guys here as well for learning purposes who are very willing to share and help in anyway they can.

so for my 1,000th post i would like to say THANK YOU to the yard,its founders and all its members for being a place to hang,a place to learn and a place to share.

while i may be biased i truly believe the 'yard is one of a kind and the greatest knife forum on the world wide web and i thank all you dogs,hogs,rats and cross-breeds for that.

hey,by the way,does anybody know what JYD# i am now??
