I lost contact with a lot of folks and haven't visited in a while so can't be sure of all that has transpired over the years.
I still keep email contact with Robert in Michigan and a few others but ain't seen hide nor hair of Le Beef du Bois. Ran across Woody on some Enfield rifle boards and still interested in collecting and shooting them.
See JonB....FFF.....anybody ever locate Kenjar?
I occasionally haunt the Okie's MySpace and the old alternative forums but the participants are not who they used to be.
Anyway, just looking to hear from any hard-timers

Robert is sending his mails and his projects nearly every week. Woody has asked me for some Husqvarna Rifle brochures, but the weapons from Husky aren´t known here, collectors are verry rare.
KJ appears on Woodys chat from time to time. The down under guys are more often to get there, also O appears from time to time.
ZJ is sitting behind the barn, waiting for little ZJ finding his dad while they are playing
It seems that mad Max has sunk his Implement carrier in the Elbe river, while spreading slurry...there ha been plans to go to southern germany, but that was the last time, when we talked.
In general...the gooed ol`years seem to be gone.
Like ol`Renze figured out: AM is a place now, where you can find more infos about loans or sex, then about Agmachiery. ;D
But that´s life, I guess.

...I think most things to be said, have been said... Current, past and future. People found each other, discussed everything they wanted to know, but have saturated their gearheads with grease and moved on...  I do hang out a lot with the weekend warriors at tractorbynet, as Farmphoto isnt what it used to be either... |

ya farmphoto has gone to mud, that guy tascowboy took all the fun out of it, but what is even more fun is find his post where he is telling someone off for bad language, or picture........and delete it in the pear revue system  ) ......that really grinds his gears, gives hours of entertainment kevanos still visits here and farmphoto, and injects his unusual tractor wisedom......its good cause it breaks the green and yellow monotony |

Hey Joe,what's new in the land of the Tejanoes? Yup I'm still around. Just not as much as in the old days. The World and the Ag Industry just ain't the same any more,my Friend. A lot of the Independants have been swallowed up by the big guys, In so doing the brands have been watered down,along with their cutting edge technology. It leaves not so much to discuss any more from my point of view. And yes Deere still sucks!!
Quite a few of the old bunch are over at Footsfitter's place. Last time I tried to get on there,I could'nt though so I'm not sure what's happening there these days. The old Chat Room is still chugging along. The Bash is still happening to.

Hey, Woodrow Yeah, I hear all of that.......just not like it was years ago as situations and realities have change. I'm gonna try to re-engage myself around places like this and others so that I'm not so out-of-touch, but, who knows how that'll work out. BTW, OT, still collecting Enfields and just picked up an Ishy fake that I'm gonna make a project out of. Maybe I'll catch you around the "other" boards in the process.... |

Been playing around with Russian SKSs more than Enfields lately,Joe. We've had around 10,000 of them brought in lately at real good prices.

Good to see some of the mainstays chattin'.... wish we could keep the "escorts" and crap off of here.
both agmachinery and farmphoto have changed over the past couple of years... but we can bring back some of what it was, if we try!

A lot of good folks are still lurking every now and then, just not posting because they dont want to get involved in the trash going on at farmphoto. Agmachinery isnt a bad place, just we should get back here more often. |

I don't know guys. I just don't get the same feelings from the Ag Industry any more. Yes,a few of the pre-buyout-merger Friends of mine are still around at a few Manufacturers. But outside of them,It's awfully hard to crack the secrecy curtain at what remains. The free flowing of info and swag is very few and far between. A few of the companies have even went as far as to totally pull out of the big once a year shows. So where does that leave us as the customer? With fewer independant companies,also comes fewer original models,which brings less to discuss I find. It's just not the Agworld that I'm getting these feelings from,I feel pretty much the same about the Auto Industry too. But I'll swing by here more often to see what's new and exciting with My Friends from around the Ag World.

Hey all Friends.
FFF is also still alive.Nowadays i'm working here with farming,energy supplying to our local county (means about 4000 persons area) schools and medical center.I left my day work year ago.
I'm still designing something with local small manufacturers,firstly we made wood cutting device for our excavator (Komatsu PC130).
In local agriculture we have hard time like everywhere.All prices like milk and crops are low and costs are still very high.Seems that we are facing bankgrypties.
But still,better times are coming,lets hope so.
FFF
