stevasaurus 22,316 #1 Posted June 3, 2018 I just noticed that I passed the 11,000 post mark. I don't usually hold much stock in post count, but I am also pushing 10 years on Red Square. The ten year thing makes me proud to be a part of this great family on this excellent site. I just want to thank you all for making me feel so welcome and a big part of this community. When I think back on things, the "Steve on a Stick" at last years show was the height of all this site has to offer for me. All you guys made me feel like I was there. That was very special.to me. We all do so many special things on this site...the top one is all the selfless help everyone gives so freely, and the other one is how we treat people like how we all want to be treated. I just wanted to say Thank You for letting me be a part of it. 15 16 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wallfish 16,263 #2 Posted June 3, 2018 Thank you for being a part of it! Saw on another forum where they use the word "KARMA" instead of the little "+" under your avatar for the number of likes and positive responses to your posts. So the way I look at, you are also 11,617 on the plus side of Karma. 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SPINJIM 1,981 #7 Posted June 3, 2018 Hi Steve, I was able to rebuild three transmissions from Rjs and a Suburban, but I never could have done the first one without the help and advice of your videos. Thank you for all of your contributions. Jim 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WHX?? 47,337 #13 Posted June 4, 2018 (edited) Hey Buddy i don't care how many posts or likes you have just take care of yourself so you and I and Dan can do some more hard water fishing! Twant for you I would have never opened up my first three piece or six speed. Hope to see you at the BS and Portage and can speak for the local circle for the same!

PeacemakerJack 10,681 #15 Posted June 4, 2018 Steve—congrats on the milestone but I agree with the sentiment above. You welcomed me into the forum warmly and that care has extended to my family as well. Your expertise has benefited so many but your kind manner is much appreciated. Many warm well wishes from the Stertz family to you today. Can’t wait to see you in a couple of weeks!!! 3 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This forum and many on here is what keeps me going. Thanks for all you do Steve. You are just one important part of the red square family. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevasaurus 22,316 #20 Posted June 4, 2018 You guys are going to make me cry. When I started this thread, I was not looking for all of this. I was expecting the usual 11,000 posts of Happy Birthday and Nice Tractor posts. yady, yady, yady.. All of you guys don't know how much you all mean to me...you guys are keeping me young. I am humbled and I thank you all. 3 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

elcamino/wheelhorse 9,148 #22 Posted June 4, 2018 @stevasaurus I still remember the warm welcome you gave me at my first BS . You are a nice older gentleman ( HA HA ) who remembers the First Lottery ( I wonder who else remembers that one ) . I just wished that you had warned be about Skonky ( @squonk ) your other brother. Great knowing you. I thought a Hooby -Dooby was a wooden shoe. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevebo-(Moderator) 8,115 #25 Posted June 6, 2018 Steve- You sure have been a special part of this site and hobby. I just this afternoon watched your video on how to put the RJ tranny together. I just rebuilt mine in the RJ59 and put it back together today while watching your video. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
