Post # 1000:

I suppose I should take a moment to acknowledge having attained the lofty position of Junk Yard Dog. I haven't made much of a fuss as I've climbed through the ranks. But this is different.

I recognize that some of my posts have been controversial. I also recognize that I represent a tiny minority of Dogs who primarily enjoy collecting hard-use knives rather than using them. That's OK. There's room for all kinds of Dogs in the Yard. And one thing's for sure. I'm very well armed if and when the zombies decide to attack. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

A moment to acknowledge Dan & Patti once again for bringing real meaning to the expression, "Made in America". I am truly grateful that I found you guys and this place.

Thanks to those of you who encouraged me, old bull that I am, to climb the rest of the way up the hill. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
