RIP Bird. Always enjoyed the conversations and insights. Talking about first tractors, getting my first tractor right about when the original site started. There was his Kubota, but also the discussion about growing up using a JD L. Homemade Top N Tilt, Chalkey Cups. Hydraulics. Too much to list.
Cant forget the discussions pre-TBN, when this was a Kubota oriented site. I came to the site right when I got my Kubota around 1998. We were some of the originals, I believe in the first 75 or so members.
Although we never met in person, it was great knowing him these 27 or so years online.
RIP old friend
