Happy birthday ScrapYard! So I keep trying to respond and deleting it because I can't quite express everything properly.
So moments
My run to JYD and everyone's help (22magnum was a big help) Helping other Dogs make JYD The Regulator Test Team! Dan's kindness The generosity of all the Dogs. (Skunk for checking in when I hadn't posted in a while and JRod for doing so much plus all the Dogs who aren't around much anymore)
Dan and what he did for Tyger75's family. RIP

Getting my first Scrap Yard blade (a Dog Father), getting SF addicted to Bussekin, run up to the War Dog, epic rants for the MOAD, Dan saying he hates squirrels (  ), meeting so many really great people here... It's been a great place to hang my hat. Thanks for making this place Dan. Happy birthday and Long Live the Brotherhood (AND Sisterhood for the lady lurkers) of the Yard!

I remember when Dan offered "Patches" at HIS expense for anyone that had 300 posts (a silver patch) and for I think 3000 posts a Gold Patch. I had to really struggle to get my silver patch.
I Think this was in celebration for 300,000 posts, but some of you that have a better memory than I do please chime in here.

Speaking of patches, can ANYONE please point me to the thread where Dan announced he would be providing patches for folks in celebration of 300,000 posts, (and maybe a picture of each one)? I have searched and searched and searched and can't find it.

WOW, Dan made that announcement on 10/23/09. Won't be a full 4 years for about a month and a half and here we are with ALMOST AN ADDITIONAL FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND POSTS!
Ya think we CAN make it an additional HALF MILLION posts by that date? We've got less than 10 thousand posts to go.

It wasn't actually for a birthday, but a celebration of 300,000 posts in the THIRD year of the Yards existance. On Dan's dime, you got this for 30 posts or for being a JYD. ![[Linked Image from farm4.staticflickr.com]](http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3815/9688742034_984f54cfc6_o.jpg) The Silver Patch AND If you had AT LEAST 3000 posts, you got this ![[Linked Image from farm8.staticflickr.com]](http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7408/9685502795_6aa759c167_o.jpg) The Gold Patch

Very classy people Dan and Patti The patch was a cool thing to do
What they did for Tyger75's family was special
I came for the knives (dumpster mutt originally), and stayed for the people
The stripes of a tiger don't wash away.

Happy Birhday Yard! The thing that brings me here is a real brotherhood on this forum. A great bunch of members. The other is the fact that we get to interact with the people behind the driving wheel of the company. Wait, there was something else... Was it knives?

Bill, I agree. What they did for his family after his death was WAY above and Beyond. MAJOR Kudos to Dan and the gang.

After reading Dan's posts I would think that you want to get posting!!! That's the plan, PK! I missed out on a JYD 1311 and I don't want to miss Dan's next treat for us!
