    Congratulations Ivan!

    You ARE the next contestant on the Guru's Right!

    1,000 posts and counting...

    They say if you put a bunch of monkeys in a room full of typewriters that one day they'll type out a great novel... so one silverback with a keyboard can type out an XSive repair manual?


    Looking forward to many more of your posts, Ivan...

    I've really enjoyed your wit

        Thanks all.

        I was surprised it didn't say "Silverback on an XS" when I hit 1000. It just said "XS XJ Guru". Still I am happy.

        As far as my knowledge, well, I have the scars on my knuckles to prove it. When I took my ASE tests back in the day (not worth the time or money IMHO), I wrote "That technician B is a moron. You need to fire him before he gets someone killed."

        The wit... just count yourself in the elite few that actually get it. Most people just give me dumb looks...

          Congrats man!

          Just another example of what a fine all round individual you are. Knowledgeable, insightful, helpful, and truly concerned for other human beings.

          (I think I just threw up in my mouth)

          BTW, you are still coming over saturday to work on T-Pig? Lol

          I am my inner child!!

          I have no idea how you managed to make that connection within your brain, but I applaud whatever cellular mutation just took place.

            If you keep saying nice things that destroy my image, NO.

            It might be easier at my place, I have all kinds of hand tools, powertools and a BFH.
