There are many here among us that knew and liked Ron but will not be able to attend his service. I'm one of those peeps and would like to put this thought out there:
Many of us would like to Toast Ron all the way to the Pearly Gates but will not be able to attend his service. Is it out of line to have a Saturday Evening Live thread where we post our stories in remembrance of Ron's life and how he touched ours? We can all tell our stories (and there are many) while sitting in the comfort and safety of our own homes w/o concerns of a DUI or traffic mishap whilst under the influence. I had thought about a local get together but shit canned that idea once I realized the pitfalls of organizing an all out Drunk in California. What say ye? This Saturday evening (8-13) 1800-2400? |

QUOTE(Toast @ Aug 13 2016, 08:51 PM)  Ron "I've liked that song for a LONG time........... I also felt the same way about the grey Honda when my daughter wrecked it and then I wrecked it. I felt the same way about a Ford Bronco, Chevy Nova and Pickup truck that Justin wrecked. Just the way I am. When I fix something or fix up something...part of me is in it....like a loss of a friend sometime. And you're not bothering me. I'm waiting for my blankiees to heat up." -------------------- Ron Ok now wait a min here.. I did in fact wreck the Bronco in a weather related "accident." The Nova had his balanced and blueprinted 400 SBC that somehow ran out of oil and blew (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) The pickup ran and ran, I couldn't kill it. The Jeep on the other hand.. Well.... |

So anyways, durring the times of playing video games (oh, he always had a shit eating grin on his face then too because he would always thought he was being sneaky trying to kill you off the screen) he kept talking about this 914 he was building.
I had not even seen a Porsche at that point, let alone know what a 914 was. So one day he offered to take me to the shop so he could show me what a 914 was. I believe it was his green one. I wasnt really that impressed. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) |
