I'm almost afraid to ask, but is there going to be a York countdown for this meet?

Start one.

Eddie G isn't active on this forum anymore but is active on other forums and is still as excited for York as he ever was.  I would start your own York countdown thread if you are so inclined.

Thanks. I was worried. The countdown thread is a classic. Not sure if I’m on here often enough to start (and update) one.

Go for it!

Greg, thanks for posting info on Eddie G. I posted months ago asking about Eddie but for reasons unknown it was deleted. I was praying it wasn’t health issues.

Ditto for me on both points.  Glad to hear that he's OK.  Life just isn't the same without his countdown.

Yes, we need Eddie's countdown!

You want a countdown? You GOT a countdown!

It's on every post and at the top of this forum.

What became of Eddie please?  Never actually met him although I ate breakfast at a diner in York a few years ago and he was leaving when we sat down. Caught sight of him for a minute however. He was dressed pretty smartly!

Rich has the best countdown ever.

Not that York is ever a frequent topic on OGR, but now you can check the timer before posting to make sure you won't be late.

Eddie is fine.  See the post above for his whereabout.

Nice countdown clock @Rich Melvin.  Easy to see and self updating!

Wow! Awesome countdown clock!

LOL!

You in a hurry or something?

Nice I like that countdown clock

If Rich speeds it up, does that mean I will get my paycheck quicker?

Well, your statement above encouraged me to check out your profile and you do not have your last name showing.  I will correct that and also remove the digital tag since your digital subscription expired back in May.

Eddie is no longer on this forum but rather than air out the reason here (unlike other forums), if you want to know what happened, contact me directly.  That way you will have "the other side of the story".

Hey!  we have a count down.  Excellent!  Way to go Rich!

Rich,

Thanks for the countdown clock getting it down to the exact second it all begins. Can’t wait for the fun to begin.
Now I hope to find some AA’s or ABA’s lash-up engines!!! Lol! Uhhh. wash my mouth out with soap! Those bad words. Ha…
