5 years ago tonight i received the call telling me we had lost Tim (Twowheelnut)......

As always on this day we celebrate Tim's passing with a toast to absent friends, so join us tonight at 9pm eastern and raise a glass.

You guys do realize that he continues to live on through each of you, right?

Yeah, I know he lives on in our memories of him. Though I wasn't one of his local buds, I would rather have him here instead of just his memory.

Hey, Tim...if yer out there...post up okay?

...Raising a glass tonight.

 
While I never met TWN, we had an extensive off Forum 'pen-pal' relationship. TWN was into kitchen designs and liked to cook (I'm involved with motorcycles but serious about cooking) so we shared recipes and cooking ideas, planned a hysterical 'to kill a mockingbird' that kept him awake all night for months, let him remissness about his growing up in New England(!) and his schooling here. He was looking forward to a chance to come back here and visit and we were planning some riding when he arrived. And then the switch flipped. Only today is for sure, live it.

(And, that's all I have to say about that)

What a time that would have been, ionbeam. Having only met his military brother (the both of us), we can only imagine what might have transpired. You west coasters that got to mingle and know him well are truly lucky,

The Colonel (Chris Bates) traveled around meeting people that were friends of Tim. Very glad to meet him and spend some smokey cigar time in Salem, NH talking with him (note the building in the background).

Never got a chance to meet Tim. He was talking of going on a group ride that happened the day after he passed - I would have met him there.

I'll raise a glass at 6pm PST tonight to the man, and remember to consider each day a gift.
