ATTABOY for Tim
« on: February 13, 2011, 02:52:41 PM »
I just took a look at Tim's info a little more closely, and I realized the he has almost 35,000 posts on this site !  WOW!!! You always have the info, and are timely, polite, and concise.
Thanks, Tim for spending what must be a considerable portion of every day moderating the H&R board alone, plus I know you moderate others too.

On the lighter side, I wonder of his wife recognizes when he comes in from the shop or the computer room. Does his dog growl at him until he gets a sniff up close, lol ?

THANK YOU TIM !!!

I think that that is probably a  most appropriate Response, Wtkibe.  But, Shhushhh. He may be lurking and we don't want to give him a swollen head. Pete says that he has enough trouble finding hats' that are big enough now. think what problems he would have if it gets any bigger. :o ;D He IS one hell of a good guy.  God Bless to all.

We actually nailed his feet to the floor years ago, gave him a coffee IV, handcuffed him to the computer desk, with just enough wiggle room to type, and he keeps all his rifles and reloading gear within arms reach, and just puts the muzzle out the window to shoot, and his targets are on those neat pulley things so he doesn't even need to go down range to set them up. We tried cutting a section of floor out and put it on rollers, but that led to Tim escaping whenever he felt like it so he could go hunt...we are still working on that one, it has some merit, but he spends way too much time away from the GBO forums if we give him that much freedom.

P.S. He really is the most selfless person I have the honor to know thru GBO, he sets a great example for the rest of us, maybe that is why the folks on GBO are just plain nice, and we would have any of them as our neighbors.

I'm looking forward to meeting the man face to face.  No one else has had the kind of influence in my later years as Tim has.  The S.O.B. turned me into a Handi Junky.

I can think of worse situations to be in!

Aside from the facts mentioned above about Tim's dedication and friendly, helpful attitude there is another factor.

I've yet to see a question ask that Tim was not able to answer directly or know just where to look to find the correct information.  Depth of his knowledge is remarkable.

Appreciate your efforts Tim, thanks.

H+R should send Tim a check for all the Handi rifles they've sold based on his work here. As always, a big thanks for all you do Tim! It's very much appreciated.

Tim is certainly one of a kind, and all these comments are very appropriate.
 
I have known, actually known-of Tim for many years. He has always been helpful, pleasant, and easy going.
His integrity is beyond reproach, and he needs to get back to work instead of reading all these attaboys.

I have been on several BB's over a range of topics, and I have to say that tim is one of the most knowledgeable guys that I have come across,  that and he is the type of person that will actually lend a helping hand to everyone, even the new guys.  I been to a couple other sites that had knowledgeable guys, but they were jacka$$es if and when they decided to answer something, if they even gave you anything resembling an answer at all.  I think we need to build a monument to Tim!!
