an open call to all in my clan...

[Cooter]

Cooter must be serious. Multi quoting motherfucker of all time!

oh this is serious business! I'm tryin' to spread love!

[Cooter]

I'm planted firmly in Sacramento, we've got a spare bedroom with your name on it if you're ever in the area. It's no alpine loop, but there's lots to do/see around here, lemme know when and where you'll be, and I'll see if we can plan a little weekend getaway (assuming that you won't have business specifically here in Sac.)

Seriously man, I hope the best for you, I'm working on a little something-something myself, we'll see how it goes next week...

Roger that. That all sounds good to me, and man... good luck with whatever it is you're cookin' up!!!

[Cooter]

Not sure what you're going through man, but you've always seemed cool as shit on here, even when you give me hell.

Get through it brother!

wellsir, I'm giving a little less of that these days, but I certainly apologize if I crossed any lines.

I feel like I'm through it. I know there will be challenges to come, but what once felt like walls as tall as redwoods now feel like a shallow curb.

I appreciate your words of kindness

[Cooter]

now that we got ALL of that out of the way...

two things...

1. Tag writers, please step up... they're all good, but I do have a couple faves. I'll play dog show if you want to see who won

and

2. To my brethren... I'm talking about meeting up with a bunch of you... It is not because I want to preach some gospel out of a book at you or anything. I have just recently realized that my friends and family are the absolute most important things in my life... and to me, friends = family... Anyhow, I'm just wanting to reconnect with my clan and meet and make friends with as many as possible for the rest of my life.

What's the saying? be the change you want to see in the world... well, I guess I'm just going to go full throttle 100% on that for the rest of my life. I'm starting to feel like I've got a lot of time left in this world, but I refuse to waste a single solitary second of the time I have left with all of you being sad, depressed, worried, etc. So the focus has been on positivity and trying to help others find what I've found in my OWN way...

I feel like I mighta found it

[Cooter]

eh, I'll go ahead anyhow...

I'll be corny and say that #1 is a 3 way tie between "pilgrimage to gunt", "found world largest gunt", and "svo is higher than you"

and #2 is a 3 way tie between "come down from dat high", "unlimited flip flops", and ".99$ diesel", and "uhh winning!!!"

yes, I realize that's 4, but I'm uhhh WINNING!

Luck is when preparation meets opportunity.

[dsrtuckteezy]

You still smoking buds, cooter? I miss smoking on the reg, alcohol is cool no doubt, but it's way worse

[Denny]

It doesn't sound like you're needing much, but I'll give ya whatever you're asking for. I'm dying to here what's next. Good news about good people put me in a good mood.

And put me down for any GTG.

[SVT Lurch]

Good luck, Forrest.

I think I owe you a beer for helping me with the A/C on my fox in 2004ish. Holler if there's something more useful to you these days.

I'm prepared. I'm getting better/stronger/sharper every day, but I'm ready to meet my opportunity. I feel it coming VERY soon.

man, I burnt a LOT when I first quit drinking... to ease the cravings and such. and i am NOT a teetotaler. I fucking LOVED drinking! I think I just finally drank enough LOL I think the universe was telling me to save a little for the rest of the folks

So yeah, I was burning quite a bit at first, but it honestly eventually got to where it wasn't really effecting me as much and it was drying out my throat, etc.

it's like I just kinda naturally transitioned from a natural herbal high to a full on natural high.

It doesn't sound like you're needing much, but I'll give ya whatever you're asking for. I'm dying to here what's next. Good news about good people put me in a good mood.

oh, you down, son... you DOWN!!!

it feels like it may have been a little too long since I saw you last... What was that, 1998-99ish at Majestic?

[Cooter]

Good luck, Forrest.

definitely! you don't owe me a single thing, my friend! that good luck vibe is all I'm looking for!

[stephen4785]

I really want to sit back and have a beer with you some time Cooter.

[Gasser64]

I'll ramp up the trolling in support!

I wonder what hes up to over there?

[orphan Shelby]

I'm confident you can power through it all. Hang in there man.

[Cooter]

I really want to sit back and have a beer with you some time Cooter.

it shall be so!!!!!!! But you'll have to drink mine for me
