    As a lurker and a member, Jim is one of those members you see in a lot of post. Be it advice, experience, knowledge or opinion. I can say in my time in both I wouldn't consider the hamb the same without him. He stands out like a number of members that make this forum what it is. Congratulations and thanks for your time here. You are one of the many reasons I am here. Thank you!

    Congratulations! You are the one guy that gave me advice on electricity that I understand, and intend to follow.

  8. Congratulations on the 20 year milestone Jim, I have enjoyed following your exploits driving across the country, whether driving to a track to race or driving to a lemons event.

    You are always extremely helpful when advice is needed to solve problems or offering suggestions, I really enjoyed meeting you and your son when you stopped by my place in your Corvette enroute to another drag week and taking you & Steven to lunch at Arnold's .Hamburgers.

    I value your friendship and having the opportunity to add your name and face to the long list of hambers I have met over my last 20 plus years. I hope you will continue to be a valuable member for many years to come. Danny

    Congratulations to @squirrel on the 20 years of having fun, and not being daunted by tricky elements, that need expert trouble shooting.
    Thanks from Dennis for all of the good advice !

  17. I hear Jim can leap a big block Chevy in a single bound. Apparently faster than a speeding Corvette. Has the strength of a dozen 12 bolts.

    20 years has probably gone by fast, as I am up to 8 and still feel like a "newb". Thanks for all of the knowledge shared, and for taking everyone along on your adventures. It is kind of neat to see you in videos of various events and feel a little like I "know" someone that is there!
     
  19. Jim, I'm glad to have you as one of my HAMB friends.

    The username came from Hot Rod magazine issue from Power Tour 2004, was published right about the time I signed up here. HRM got a picture of me doing a burnout on a public road, and published it, showing that I was just another street squirrel....

  27. Squirrel/ Squirrely

    The term "squirrely" is an informal slang term used to describe someone or something as eccentric, flighty, or slightly odd. For example, you might describe someone's behavior as squirrely if they seem to be acting erratically or unpredictably, or if their actions seem vaguely odd or strange.

    The term "squirrely" is a combination of the word "squirrel" and the suffix "-y", which makes adjectives meaning "characterized by or inclined to". The first records of the term "squirrely" date back to around the 1930s.

    Jim, it appears you earned your username! I like it. HRP
