What do you get out of OFF TOPICS...

[Eric 951]

Great advice on a wide range of topics.

Lubemaster hooked me up with a (free!) jug of fork oil for my old Moto Morini after I posted here asking for advice in trying to source the required spec oil indicated in the manual.

I learned that David is a helluva talented gunsmith (and somewhat local) so I now know where I am taking my SKB to get it repaired (as soon as I have the time).

Onewhippedpuppy (and others) educated me on Land Cruisers and helped influence my decision to purchase a 250K mile FJ62

Plus many others I have forgotten.

(and the occasional laugh as well).

This. And when to cover up my hootus.

Medical, real estate, law, wife, vacation spots, how much people hate CA and yet they are still coming and crowding up our freeways, and everything else in between. This place is just a little better then reading my old encyclopedia that I never had. it doesn't get better then that.

It's a strange addiction, but very real. Thanks to me, there is a whole group of people in Los Angeles that know all about Pelican forums even though they've never been on them. You basically cannot be a close friend of mine without knowing that this place is a part of my life.

There is an amazing wealth of knowledge here. Deeper than you could ever know, because in addition to the known posters, (who cover a pretty wide spectrum of experience and expertise), there are countless lurkers who will sometimes chime in when a subject they are familiar with comes up.

It amazes me. It also amazes my friends, who cannot believe the asset I have here.

Like I've said before....If you ask a question here about a widget, you not only find other widget owners, but widget designers, widget producers and the name of a better widget then your asking about in the first place.

And I'll post a few pictures of widgets.

This. Spend more time on here then all the other forums I belong to, combined. Have met some great people on here. online and in person.

and when my cable is out, and I miss my fix of Honey boo boo, American Chopper, and Jersey Shore, and other reality TV, I head over to PARF...

[edgemar]

Great advice on random stuff. Also a good laugh every once in a while.

You guys are great! Group Hug!

Power Generation, Solar, How to do flooring in your house. Air Conditioning. And let us not forget the constant discussion of spoons.

I come here to search for the ultimate, cheap, reliable, car...

The 550 is The Little Bastard, the 924 is the stepchild, the 928 is the voodoo child.

I like red heads, which one is that?

I am in awe of the talent displayed here.
I have seen amazing projects, (gunsmithing, guitar construction, automobile restoration, motorcycle modification and electronic rebuilding.)
I have seen people inquire about everything from the mundane to the life threatening (and get help which may have saved their life).
I have managed to connect my son with a couple of Pelicans who needed IT work and (I think) it worked out well for both parties.
Then there are amazing links to images and a good laugh now and again.

I don't post as much as several others, but I spend a bit of time here every week.
This is, in a way a community of which I feel I am a part.

Glad to "know" many of you here.

Picture Thread: What's For Dinner?

[syncroid]

PPOT is my favorite for many reasons. Ask a question, it gets answered. You need a little help with something, you get help. Need a laugh, done. Need to vent about something, rant away. Lost your best friend, you have more here. I have met a few of you and its always been a pleasure.
