Engine-Ear is back again (for better or worse, LOL)
 
Hey everyone - - Please forgive me, but I have been off the PY board for years and am just now returning.

I am tired of Fakebook and while I wish the PY board could be the OLD look-and-feel (if so, tell me how), I want to get back on here again. I shouldn't have let my involvement here lapse.

Anyway, hope you all are doing GREAT. Hope I can jump back into the PY fold again...

And for anyone going to the Indian Uprising in Crystal Lake Ill this weekend, I'm vending indoors...stop over.

Thanks, friends.

Howdy Matt. I've been wondering where you've been, hope all is well.

Go to the bottom of the screen on the left, there's a box where you can adjust how the forum looks on your screen.

Welcome back! I just used my dash-blanket the other day. I thought to myself “huh, I wonder how Matt’s doing?”

Glad you’re back!

Glad to have you back, the 61-66 big board hasn't been the same without you.

Always a good thing to have a "regular" from the old days back making posts.

Good to see you back, Matt! I dropped Facebook too back in Dec 2020.
Do you still have the '69 GP 3-speed?

Shiny 08-13-2022 04:41 PM

Welcome back! Your posts were missed.

rosconz 08-14-2022 12:49 AM

I have missed your input Matt, welcome back from down under!

Engine-Ear 08-14-2022 09:35 PM

THANK YOU for such meaningful, friendly posts.

I have always felt a kinship for everyone here on the PY board.

ALSO! So MANY thanks for the ability to GET BACK to where I once belonged in terms of the forum layout. (CCass, Mods, et al, I never got used to that Fisher-Price layout change)

Anyway, I'm around again.

Got home from the Indian Uprising a couple of hours ago. To be continued...

sdbob 08-15-2022 08:03 AM

Welcome back. Thank you. Just noticed your post. Been at Norwalk. I'm tired as every Monday after.

694.1 08-15-2022 09:06 PM

Vaght, you found time for old friends?? You still owe me a barley pop!
See you at the Omro show...

GTOAA 08-21-2022 09:24 PM

Dang did I just travel back to the turn of the century?
 
A simple reply and I cannot even remember how we did this here 20 years ago... socialist media is my job so I tend to stay there. Good talk last night.

I lined up some help to get the '87 Grand Wagoneer driveable on 9/10, so I won't be at the Omro show... need to fix my Wrecks so I can attend shows with a clear conscience!

But stop text or call when you are (or want to) stop out to the Wreck Room, Dave. Cold beer here!

ATTN: We (Matt and I ) are in contact all the time on Text and FB and IG instead of these old man forums LOL just letting you know

Skidmark 01-03-2025 01:10 PM

Good deal. Glad you guys still communicate.

Cool story. Thanks for answering your own question.

dataway 01-04-2025 09:57 AM

Tell Matt his inconsistent behavior is triggering me and making me feel unsafe.

694.1 01-04-2025 01:28 PM

I have heard he is a Benedictine Monk??

fyrffytr1 01-04-2025 04:21 PM

I heard he got a life! :D

Engine-Ear 01-12-2025 04:55 PM

OK, OK, guys. There's much to share but we'll get to that in due time. BRIEF-ish update (INPO):

WORK
→I closed RediRad in DEC '24. Gut-wrenching decision but I have bigger fish to fry before I check out. If you know anyone in business who wants to pick up where my lack of marketing and other budgets left off, let me know. I am looking to sell the circuit designs (both released and (unreleased) BlueTooth versions), the Brand name and identity, and the intellectual property.

→I NOW manage the electrical engineering operations at a major commercial refrigeration company based in Wisconsin (Started there in FEB '18).

CAR STUFF
→Not much Pontiac progress. Don't gimme any crap about it, knobs - Things happen (and DON'T) for reasons. Keep reading.

→Developing a 'pay it forward' mentorship project that allows me to educate people new to owning and driving collector cars - Details to follow on this exciting project!

FAMILY
→Linda and I are still happy together.

→We have six grandkids.

→I found Jesus (or more accurately, Jesus found -and SAVED- me!) and I have never felt more balanced, grounded, or grateful.

...so, I'll be around the PY board more and more.

prostreet64 01-12-2025 08:32 PM

Glad to hear your good news. And yes, life really begins when Jesus comes into our hearts and minds. Every day becomes an adventure.

salem1912 01-12-2025 09:37 PM

I think you are living in that thing called "LIFE'. Glad you checked in with us.

carcrazy 01-14-2025 11:53 AM

Good to hear from you Matt!

He sold it a long while back but I am glad I visited from TX back then and got to ride in a survivor original un-rebuilt 350 HP 400 with 3.55 gear we threw on a good Q-jet I built him the early 1990's that had sat in storage unused for 20 years and it ran great and man it pretty stout with stick from a roll and hit the secondaries !

george kujanski 01-18-2025 05:38 PM

Hey there, Matt! Good to hear from you and that you are well.

I refuse to get on Facebook, welcome back.

Thanks, George and 455Grandville.

Missed you guys.

GT182 02-07-2025 12:59 PM

It's about time you returned. I'm not on here as much since Old Goat 67 (Charles in Luisiana) passed away. Anyway, it's good to see you back. :thumbup:

Shiny 02-07-2025 01:45 PM

Nice to see one of my educators return from the Twighlight Zone!

Hope to again benefit from your experience and interests. Post often!
