Got to meet another forum member

Patti and Norm (Enormous) drove the shelby from Windsor to my home in Orillia for a visit
It's at least a five hour drive and Friday afternoon traffic to boot.
When I joined the forum , Norm was the first person I ever talked to on a forum,
He sent me some stuff in the mail no charge and said call me if you need help.
So i have always thought of him as my hero, so when they came to my lowly world
I was excited.(Moni I tryed not to babble)
My poor wife when't crazy trying to clean the house and get everything just right, never could understand women.
For us it was just a fantastic visit with Norm and Patti truly great ppl, we only could have wished they could stay
longer. they are such nice people and are now friends with faces.
Thank you Norm and Patti

This is why I love this forum so much, to have an endless number of great members
And to get to meet them too

I could not agree more. I have hunted with Both Norm & Patti & they are both really down to earth & genuine nice people. Norm also replied to a post of mine a while back & I took my first turkey with him right behind me. Makes for good company & memories to last a lifetime.

cheers

Rick, did you ask Patty how to spell? :lol:

Truely, it was our pleasure to visit, Having Patti and another Patty in one room was funny at times.
The best part was meeting your family members that you always talked about.
That was the best part! and we felt right at home too. Thank-you for that!
Everybody wears camo of some sort and drives a pick-up....cool!
We are looking forward to the next one.

Rick, I'm glad that you enjoyed meeting Norm and Patti! I can imagine that you had a great time! I haven't met Patti in person yet, but have had the opportunity to meet Norm (and his Shelby! :D) and you're absolutely right about what great people they are!

That's certainly going some. I always took your dogs as being anti-social and avoiding all human contact. :wink: :D

The ride in the Shelby......... Norm if those finger nail marks don't come out of the center consel
I will pay for the repair and If you haven't noticed the arm rest yet you mite want to retighten it.

I'm sure i have neck and back injuries from being thrown back in the seat
We were going up the main drag and I asked Norm what that noise was," oh the back tires haven't
stopped spinning yet", ya this is cool no big deal, then he stepped on it , the back end started to drift
and I think thats when the consel started to get damaged.
I said take that off ramp to the highway, what was I thinking, the ramp is one of those almost 360 degree
turns. When I drive I barely ever go over a 100 km an hour on straight roads, at 120 km on this ramp I
think I wimpered a bit and put a serious dent in the floor trying to get the brakes to work, from the bottom of the ramp to the end of the merge Norm said look we're over 200
At that point I was squeeling like a little girl trying to controll my bowels.Not wanting to see a grown man cry Norm took it easy on me, almost the rest of the way home. it was one of those right lane ends 200m thats where the arm rest took some damage.

Tryed to get out of the car like nothing was wrong, Im cool but my legs werea little wobbley
Norm never went fast when there was any traffic near us.

Rick, I could have went much faster but I didn't want to upset my stomach either if you know what I mean.
Sure glad your son in law has access to those special "get out of jail" coupons when needed on unique occasions. Just fortunate I didn't need it this time. Whatever happened in Orillia stays in Orillia. :wink:

Don, he held it pretty good for an Ol Man.

I love this place were like a big huge family.

I had the pleasure of meeting Digger a few years back. Haven't got around to meeting anyone else I don't think. I've met people and they've said oh you're Tye from the Excalibur forum, lol. I guess that counts....

Pretty weird when that happens. To think I thought I flew under the radar on here these few years I've been a member.

Shelby right sounds fun!!
