My 2000th post..... What a journey this has been. I joined Glamisdunes.com to learn about buggies. Something of which I knew NOTHING about. I've learned about buggies along the way but heres what I did'nt expect. I never thought that I would make friends or learn so much more about life experiances. I'm a member of about 6 other computer forums and have maybe 100 posts combined between all of them. This site has been so much more to me than I could've ever imagined. I've laughed in here, I've cried in here and shared things in here that I thought I would never do on some computer forum. I never would've realized how much in common so many of us have. I'm talking real life issues and thoughts and beliefs. Toy addiction stuff aside, we all share so many things that I hold dear to my heart......family, friends, pets, beliefs on the world and so MANY other things I could go on for days. I'm happy for all the help I've been given in here as well as those that I've been able to help. I never thought that 2 years ago I could help someone with buggy issues and I've since been able to help a few. But more than that some of lifes hard knocks that peeps in here have felt comfortable enough to share in here that I've been blessed to offer my thoughts and feelings as well as condolances or advice. I have not seen on other sites what I see in here every day. This site is truly special and I will remain a member as long as all y'all will have me!! Thank you all SOOOOOOO much for all the help and laughs and enlightment on real world issues and more importantly for people sharing real life issues whether they are good or bad or sad. I'm happy to be a member of the best web site in the world!!!! Sincerely , Bryan.....aka Octillo Boy PS: My vow to GD.COM I WILL be buying some of those funny looking tires with the weird looking scoops on them and joining you peeps this year at this big sand box of which you speak!!!!

very well said

CONGRATS!!! and WELCOME!!!!

Congratulations!!! Welcome to the Hood!!!

Welcome brother.
Kinda excited to hear that you might be crossing over to the "other" side. I made the flip from desert to Glamis after 20 years of beating through the rocks and will never, ever go back. I have always enjoyed/respected your posts, you bring a lot to the board. Keep it up, see you in the sand SOON.

Damn you're up late Bryan Congratulations on your journey dude I can honestly say that I am one of those you helped along the way. I look forward to riding with you someday if you decide to break down and buy some of those funny looking tires with "scoops" you speak of

Very well said and you have always had a great attitude on this site as well as sent me condolenses and your best wishes.... Im so glad your in the brotha hood now.

By the way just because we are being nice to you right now does not mean we wont laugh and point at you when you ride and fall for the the first time in the sand..... its a whole new ballgame out there.

Congrats OB, you're a decent chap in my book.

Nicely Done.

congrats!

Congats Bryan! Just don't let anyone tell ya you can't do both ( sand \ hardpack ) ! BTW did you get that motor running yet? I'm thinking night ride again real soon.

Thank you guy's and gal's for the kind words!!! It means alot to me!!

Congrats OB

Welcome to the Hood..
Yours is a touching post and so true of this site. You can sure make awsome friends without ever meeting a single person..

Thanks Scat!!

So, after your first real trip to Mother G will you change your board name? I'll bet a few beers that you won't be taking your paddles off anytime soon.

Whats wrong with my board name?!?! I actually cant wait!!! When we go to Octillo my little girl loves to go to blow sand hill and play in the sand!!! Drop her in the middle of Glamis and she will be happier than a cat that just ate a box of exlax!!!

cool Bryan way to be!!

How old is your daughter? If you need a group to go with, we'll make room for you. Lot's of kids for your daughter to play with.
