Here is my 1,000th post. In all its glory.



Thanks everyone for teaching me so much.
My hopes for the future? That when I have as many posts as JJ, I have 1/10th the Rolex knowledge of Bo.
Reaching for the sky.

Congratulations on reaching quite a milestone in posts Bill!!

Heres to many many more!

Welcome to the "four digit club!"

The higher you go the more exclusive it gets, i.e, there are only a couple members in the "five digit club."
