Hi Folks,

It is time...I contribute little to these forums of late and as such my run of reading every post and offering my experiences is on the wane it is with sad heart that I am stepping back from the 5G forums. Moderators can pass on to me but my contributions daily are done. I am on a new journey into the Medical world that are likely to summon my fate. So I will look to Rob to forward things to me but my availability to respond will be delayed as I am no longer participating daily.

I wish you happy travels!

Titio, Margie and I wish you the best and happy motoring.
Phil
This is a sad day for our little family, here, but you must take care of yourself first and foremost. Thank you for all of your shared wisdom, experience, insight and humour. I will miss your input and back stories, but am grateful that I stumbled upon this forum to which you have dedicated so much time. Thank you for all of your contributions over the years, and for bringing novices like me into the world of trucks. God bless you, Phil, and may our paths cross again.

Hey, Boss--as I recall you've tried to back away at least once before but you keep getting sucked back in. If this is again and still your goal, I wish you the best. I'm a mostly lurker who has enjoyed your many posts with stories of the good old days, and your frequent insights. Be well sir, stay safe.

It's been good, your vast level of knowledge and the teacher/professor like way you have shared it with us.

Thank you,

I for one, will really miss the inside Ford stories, the behind the scenes, or what really happened, or why something is the way it is from Ford from an engineering standpoint.

You do know.... without you around, this totally opens the door to "well Phil said that the Pinto was originally designed with a Diesel engine" or "Phil said that the 90's Ranger came standard with crewcabs, flatbeds and dual wheels in Argentina" oh such fun :LOL:

Thank you for signing off vs disappearing, it allows us all to send positive thoughts out to you.

Be well!!

@P. A. Schilke - I had always considered it such a cool opportunity to share the forum with a man that has had so much to do with the truck I hold so close to my heart. In the case of my very first truck, my 1991 Ranger, you had everything to do with it. Wish I still had it.

I wish you an abundance of comfort in your coming days, and thank you very much for your contribution to this forum.

Phil - I've learned much from you - thank you! God's Speed, fair winds, and following seas to you and your family on this next journey. May His Face Shine upon you and yours, and the Peace of the Lord go with you all.

All the best Phil, I hope things turn out right for you. I'm going to miss your Ford back stories, and anecdotal tales of simpler and happier days. I'm sure you have few more in you yet.
God bless
