About 2 weeks ago the earthquakes in Oklahoma were felt here. A lot of the peeps on the Kansas thread were talking about it, my oldest son was the only one to felt it but did not know what it was. I would still rather be in a earthquake instead of a tornado.

Glad that everyone is OK. I do remember my first quake, We live in Redwood Valley Ca. it was 1977 and I was in 6th grade in Mr. Bliss's science class of all places. I was one Scared little boy and hated earthquake until I saw the damage from a very small tornado that hit west Topeka in 89.

And now you know why I am not a part of the "Brian Decker fan club".... I'm sorry he responded to you the way he did...

He can be blunt, but he's also in his seventies (I believe) and remembers the stringmen of exhibition poultry and has been in it his entire life. He just has his opinions and isn't afraid to say them- but I have always found that when he and I have disagreed he has not held it against me (and oh, he and I have disagreed quite a bit- esp on the win I had with a blue silkie at the APA semiannual/silkie national due to 'lacing' on silkied birds).

I have a lot of respect for him, and I listen to what he says, but I don't always agree. Brian puts his heart and soul into poultry- into the national breed clubs and organizations he belongs to and especially into the local clubs. When club officers have fallen short or not stepped up to the plate it seems like he has been there willing to help. He's trying to preserve the hobby as he sees it.

No, it's a 49 IHC dump truck, and is part of My Cousin The Biker's rusting collection (although it was Dad's before that, and Archie Ferguson's originally).

(I learned to drive on that monster, and that may be part of the reason I've never had a driver's license).

I'm going to edit in a better photo, wait a sec.

While this may be. That kind of attitude displayed to new people will just drive them away. And then it will all fall apart when the "old timers" are gone. Or when the new people get it going again it will be very different from the original.
