Tim at Yosemite, June 2, 2007

​

It was that weekend that I met Tim. He was on Wabs, his (and now dcarver's) WeeStrom and Andrew made it down for Friday night. Thanks for that, Sam. I miss those guys.**

Hard to believe Tim's been gone 4 years; a hole was left in the heart of the forum when he passed.

Will be in observance at 6 pm PDT with red wine in hand, just like that Saturday night (June 2, 2007) in Mammoth Lakes.

** for those who joined later and/or don't know, the two '05 FJRs depicted in the header on the FJRforum skin belonged to Andrew (OrangevaleFJR) in the foreground and Tim (TwoWheelNut) in the background.

Tonight shall be three fingers of Gentleman Jack and a fine cigar.

Miss ya, Tim. When it's my turn to do deep recon, I'll have your back.

 

[kaitsdad]

Dupe post.

 

[rogdeb]

We'll be toasting Tim at the appointed time

 

[ionbeam]

I'll be lifting and draining one or two for Tim. While we never met in person we moved 1.783 tons of electrons writing back and forth about such diverse things as "To Kill A Mocking Bird", food recipes, nastolgia about CT and motorcycles.

The one and only time I talked to Tim was at NAFO 08. I thanked him for his PM offering to help my dad earlier in the year as the fires in SB were really close to my dad's place.

Same here. I sure miss the crusty old bastid, as I do Andrew. I know you guys who were closer friends miss them much more. Our interchanges were brief, yet oh so poignant.

But the TWN was an icon. In this community for sure, but also in this whole messed up thing we call the world.

Here's to you my virtual friends.

Prost!

 

[MCML]

I did!!!

I knew but did not know that he did not know.
