Pretty amazing that it was almost 15 years ago that I joined this forum. A better group of people I’ve never met. Dan is great as a host and keeps making knives I need to buy. Thanks for everything.

13 years for me, and I feel the same as you Ted. Good folks, good knives and good President. DAN I mean, not, well you know.

Been about half that for me, can't disagree with anything you've mentioned. Great people here and the BIG DAWG does indeed lead from the front. Thanks, Dan!

Im Very new but have acumulated quite a few beautiful hard working blades from the yard and have the pleasure of conversing with some awesome dogs daily! Hope you guys enjoy my company aswell because i plan on stickin around !! Thanks ALL !!

TW, I guess we’ll let you stay. But you gotta look out for that Private Kline feller. Oh and that dang Yankee Ray something or other .

Weird.. they both told me to watch out for some guy named skunkhugger...

Well one USED to be a Marine and the other is one of them Northeastern fellers. Need I say more?

15 years here must have aged tedwca a solid 25

No kidding, just LOOK at what it did to Skunkhunter!!!

I’d rather not if you don’t mind.

Ive seen your pictures... you guys are a rough lookin bunch for 26 year olds

Haha, 26! OK, I guess suckin up works. We’ll call you a keeper.

Jeeze.. if thats considered sucking up youve lived an abusive life my friend !!!!

Each yeah I have. Spent 20 years in the Air Force (had to interact with Army, Navy, and the Navy’s Marine Corps) way to much. I should have gotten a medal. Then I spent 25 years working in Law Enforcement (3 years as a road officer, and 5 years “riding with the boys” while dispatching the whole 25 years. So yeah, I’ve Dan a couple things in a 5 man PD and a 20-23 man sheriff’s Dept. We had a few murders, rapes, robberies, car thefts, man fights and drug labs (meth) out the wazoo. I retired for the second and last time in April of 2019. Best decision I ever made, besides getting married to Patty.

It is hard to believe and I am only 26 years old...okay at least in my mind LOL

What a great bunch of Dogs...I consider all friends

Long Live The Brotherhood Of The Yard

Hi Ted, Skunk, and PK!

Hey, there’s our grave digger! Back in the states again?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Dan! Great to hear from you again; I hope you will come around more often. We miss you.

Happy Berfday Dan!!!!

I remember when we were all pups.

15 years went so fast...that happens when you hang with the best

I have said it before and I will say it again...Long Live The Brotherhood Of The Yard

Dan

I DO love this place. The knives are REALLY good, but the folks are better. Heck even that Dan feller is alright.

OK, I guess even the Skunk is sort of alright.

Nice....I thought I was going to have to pull the car over LOL

Dan

Skunk is OK, even if he WAS in the Chair Force.

Yeah but at least we didn’t belong to some other service!

You guys are killing me I'm laughing out loud in my home office all by myself ...sad but true

You guys rock

Dan

We're here all week; don't forget to tip the waitress.

Or in my case, the waiter.

That's OK Skunk, but I prefer women.

I don’t know about the present but some time ago when I was at Ft. Dix, my friends and I would often go to next door McQuire AFB for chow. They had much better chow than we did.

YUP! When I was sent to Homestead after Andrew hit, the Commanding ARMY General ordered them to no longer utilize our chow “tents”. We got a hot breakfast and Supper. The Army would come in droves to our facilities.

Yes indeed, the Chair Force eats and lives well.

Funny you say that. My father told us that if we went into the service it should be the Navy or Air Force because of the food...He was WWII so his info still rides true

Dan

Wise man.

Has it truly been that long?

Howdy Mag22.

Wow! 15 years, huh? Congrats!

Happy Birthday Dan! 26 huh? That would have made you, what, 10 when you started this website?

I guess given the comments in the "Wiener Dog" thread, we were all about 12 at the time, so yeah, I can believe it

I sold every single knife I own, im getting back into things.

Anton, good to hear from you again!

Anton! Still carrying a Mil reg concealed?

I wasn’t to many years late. It will be 15 years for me in October. Man where has the time gone? (I know where my money went)

Randy, you probably know where EVERY penny you ever spent has gone, and how vast your fortune still is!

Stamp check. I think I found the yard pretty close to the beginning

Exactly...you are good with the math

Dan
