One year I am going to make it to Blade. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" />

My heart aches every year at this time because I can't make it there. But you just watch...maybe in two years I will be all straightened out enough to make that Blade show.

And the ONLY thing that drives me is to meet Dan and all the other Dogs from here. Being here since 2006 I have seen many come and go. I have seen many changes and I will say ALL for the good. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Scrap Yard started this forum with lofty ideals and goals. At times I thought maybe too high. But just then The Big Dog would come in and set The Yard back in a better place than before. I don't know how this Forum has been so blessed.

Oh, wait.... I do! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />

It is because of Dan,and Patti and Renee and all the nameless workers who sweat day in and out to mold and make our steel. The Moderators who set the standards we all adhere to. And all of the many Dogs who come here and discover what it is that makes this place so different. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />

It is us. Every of us who love this Yard and what it represents to us individually. It is why we come here to talk and laugh. To show off and ask questions. To share our love of Scrap Yard Knives. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

God bless this Yard now and forever. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />

Heck.. I'm all misty now. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

Peace.
