Milestones
Permalink  

Today I'm celebrating milestones. It's 34 years at my job. It's 39 years selling GM parts. It's 40,000 posts on Canadian Poncho. Today our daughter has her last day at her current office job. On Monday she starts her new career at an accounting firm as she works toward her degree.

 

Normally for me milestones are a big deal. But it's been a rough week. I found out I have a sibling who is terminally ill and also a young man I mentored years back took his life on Monday morning.

I'm grateful for the many friends I've made on this forum. and almost 12 years ago I came here thinking I knew everything about 1966 Canadian Pontiacs! Boy was that a mistake! You guys have taught me a lot... Thank you.

I don't dare get out my calculator to find out how much time it takes to write 40000 posts!

At a minute a post, you've been sitting at your desk for twenty seven point seven days straight.

 Yup..but they are moments you probably don't want back. Life without 40,000 posts? Bad news always sucks!!  But thanks for hanging around 40,000 times!!!!

Carl, it has been a real pleasure over the years reading, laughing and learning from your posts. Not only your sense of humor but also your decency shines through time and time again. Good luck brother.
