I have to go now.
 
As of this post, I have one left to make 20K. I'm not sure when I'll use it or for what purpose. Many have noticed that I have become somewhat bitter. I think I have and I think sitting on the forums day and night may very well have something to do with that. Draw your on conclusions as to why that may be.

I'm making some radical changes in my life. I will be selling off a lot of my accumulations and I'm going to leave cars as a major part of my life behind. Today I'm putting the final touches on a 914 GT project I've been doing for someone else since January. Yes, it's bit overdue and a lot of that has been plain ol' burn out and a lot of arthritis pain. You can see those pics in the 914 forum or the bodywork forum. I am no longer doing welding either.

Later on, the Carrera may go on the block. Perhaps that will be my last post in the 4 sale section. I've seen this coming for awhile, but I thought I'd try for the milestone. 9 years is enough.

So, feel free to take your shots at me, I'll read but not respond. If I do come back, it will be under another name and I've promised myself that won't be for some time, if ever. I will continue to post on some other forums just so I don't totally jones. But, since I don't have many posts on other forums I visit, it's unlikely I will ever do anything like 6 posts a day for 9 years anywhere ever again.

So long, it's been fun for the most part. And remember always, one monkey don't stop the show.


Peace.

Best to you whatever you decide. I'd still love to meet up with you for a beer sometime, preferably before I depart CA in the coming weeks.

Thanks for the fish...1

Happy Trails Milt. May you find what you are looking for.

Hate to see you go. I always enjoyed seeing your work, whether on cars or wood. Enjoy.

rnln 08-06-2009 09:51 AM

milt,
what were you drinking last night?
Hope to see you again to show us some new body works.

VINMAN 08-06-2009 09:57 AM

Milt, hate to see you leave. But only you know whats best for you. Hope you come back soon

Gogar 08-06-2009 09:59 AM

Good luck Milt/Zeke.

edgemar 08-06-2009 10:14 AM

Good Luck! Hate to see you go. Why not just come by a little less than not at all?

Heel n Toe 08-06-2009 10:25 AM

Just one more reason not to have post counters. :(

Best wishes, Zeke... you will be missed.

Christien 08-06-2009 10:42 AM

I've followed a lot of your posts, esp. tech stuff, and you've been a great contributor here, including helping me with some of my issues over the last few years.

Happy trails, and thanks for all you contributions.

911boost 08-06-2009 10:47 AM

Good luck. I took a hiatus away from here when I sold my Carrera and bought the WRX. After a couple of years and the purchase of the Turbo, I slowly eased back in. I don't help with the tech stuff as much, primairy because I have two kids now, and I don't have the need to wrench on the turbo like I did the Carrera.

Just don't be bitter.

jyl 08-06-2009 10:48 AM

Goodbye and best wishes. Enjoy your break, sounds like you will be making some changes both online and in the real world. Moving forward is usually good. But we will miss you.

Hopefully you'll decide that PPOT can fit in your "new" life and thus you return, under whatever name. Please do check your PM's from time to time so that people can reach you.

As for post 20,000, maybe save that for your possible return?

RANDY P 08-06-2009 10:54 AM

Aww C'mon, it doesn't have to be all or nothing. You can hang around just get rid of the cars and get some new hobbies.

I do agree with the Cars as needing to be moderated however. From where I sit seems cool and all that to be a "car guy" when you're younger but after awhile and the older you get it becomes time to move on to different, more accessible things.

I don't want to be the guy with all the cars and no GF or family. I know a few of the cool die-hards (no GF, no kids, no Wife just cars) and frankly they scare me.

Well, it sucks to see you go, but you've got to do what you've got to do. Enjoy the changes.

nut11 08-06-2009 11:13 AM

The best of luck to you. Always a pleasure reading your posts.

Milt...Zeke...who's counting? As for myself...I'll know, should the time come to split.

Good luck, and I'll miss you. SmileWavy

bigchillcar 08-06-2009 11:46 AM

i'll miss you, too, milt. i took a year break the past year, had been 8 years for me. and i can easily understand the part about needing more off-line, less online life. you'll always have friends here to laugh with, to share, debate, argue, and hell..even yell with/back at..but still, and always, friends. my very best wishes for your new adventures..

kach22i 08-06-2009 11:51 AM

May your metamorphosis be a good one.

slakjaw 08-06-2009 11:56 AM

Take care Milt!

I knew this day was coming, but that knowledge still does not help with the fact that this day sucks. I wish you luck with all your future endeavors Milt.

Maybe you will still respond to PM's?

Geronimo '74 08-06-2009 12:03 PM

Best of luck, Milt.

Your knowledge and wisdom will be missed.

Godspeed buddy.

Jeff Higgins 08-06-2009 12:03 PM

Best of luck, Milt. We really enjoyed having you around.

I would like to meet up with you guys too... let us know Milt.

pete3799 08-06-2009 01:07 PM

Sorry to see you go.
How about we ask the mods. to start counting backwards.

Jims5543 08-06-2009 01:09 PM

7 years with no life.

Enjoy it, I found this place in 05? and to be honest once I stopped messing around here and on other forums I have a life again. Somewhere in late 05 through early 08 I wasted 2 years with forums.

I am glad to only look in once in a while now. Once you step back you realize its like watching reruns over and over and over again.

Enjoy pursuing other activities.

s_morrison57 08-06-2009 01:43 PM

Sorry to see you go Milt, enjoyed your voice of reason on most every topic you responded to. pop back in for the now and again update if you feel like it , I know we'd all appreciate hearing from you. This feels like one of your buddies just moved to the other side of the country.
Thanks Zeke

austin552 08-06-2009 01:52 PM

See you at the airport.

Milt, hope everything works out. I have always admired your craftsmanship and pictures you have posted, both of car & wood projects. Sneak back under a "playa" moniker. Won't be the same without you. All the best.

livi 08-06-2009 02:22 PM

I hope to see you back as "keze" real soon. There is always that 30k mile stone. Best wishes!

Wish you all the best Milt. I still hope to get to shake your hand.

campbellcj 08-06-2009 09:09 PM

Milt,

I hope you find some well-deserved reward and relaxation. It's hard to believe how time flies when you get sucked-into these hobbies and these internet communities in particular. When I look at my join date / membership number on various boards it just makes me feel...old...more than anything ;)

Cheers,

nostatic 08-06-2009 09:59 PM

You say stop and I say go, go, go
Oh, no
You say goodbye and I say hello
Hello, hello
I don't know why you say goodbye

I say high, you say low
You say why, and I say I don't know

Dude, why the drama?

Evans, Marv 08-06-2009 10:28 PM

Good luck Milt. A new path may lead to new adventures, and I hope they will be enjoyable ones for you.

450knotOffice 08-06-2009 10:52 PM

Take care, Milt. I hope to still see you once in a while at the occasional social event.
