6 pm PST is 2:00 am BST, I shall be asleep. But I will remember him.

LKLD · Aug 21, 2015

I never met him, but what a fine testament to what kind of man he was, to have friends honor and remember him this way. We should all be so lucky.

9pm here on the Eastie, and I did bring back some medicinal from Colorado. So yes, I got 'em and it will be to you Tim Bates.

cuz I know i won't be enjoying it much

I never met Tim either, wish I did however. Sounds like we would see eye to eye on many a things.

4:20 away. No really, it's 4:40pm here so it's 4hrs 20 minutes away. Funny,,, on how these things just seem to werk out!

7 years. My God it's been that long. You know I still have him in my phone's contacts just so I run across him every once in a while.

In.

Sorry I never got to meet Tim, have enjoyed reading posts and how others feel. Raising a glass of Bowman Brothers Small Batch.

Toast!!

Toasted... That day was still by far the worst birthday of my life up to that time, I woke that morning to read the post by Matt and wished it was just a bad joke... It WASN'T.
Then my dad passes the following year 1 day before my Birthday..

August has been a bitch ever since then.

Few people have the ability to carry on the irreverent spirit that TWN brought to the forum, and sometimes you just have to give life the finger...cause it can be a nasty bitch and hilarious in the same day. Thanks for being someone that continues to bring a smile...and a raised eyebrow. Hope to see you soon. I'll join you with that toast, and tilt one for you too...Happy birthday ya crazy *******. I'm glad we still got you after this tough year.

Celebrating Tim Bates and Walter Carver

7 years ago... We lost Tim. 1 year ago last April, my Dad. Time flys by.

'What have you accomplished?' my Dad asked on his death bed.
'Not as much as you' I replied.
Then realizing the true question -
'Everything is done, Dad. All is good. You can go now, if you want too.'

Dad smiled.

Sometimes, the fun is in the process. Like the following pix..

msDcarver, holding Wabs up from falling down. Wabs (Weestrom with ABS brakes = Wabs) was Tim's old bike.

Some phun stuff here!

I have no idea what she's reaching for..

Set the camera on 'Creative' and see what happens!

Evidently, 10 seconds is insufficient time to walk from the camera to the pose spot.. and that ball is really the dark side of the moon...

Almost a good shot.. but some doofus is holding the whiskey glass weird...

Finally, the money shot!

Happy birthday Dad, and Tim, we really miss you buddy.

..and so it goes, the evolution of life.

Ride on.
