Paging Ol' Ron

[uncle max]

Did Ol' Ron sleep in again this morning?
Someone go poke him and tell him he's late for work and needed here!

[BrianCT]

Just to move this to the top . Ol' Ron sign in the waters fine.

Maybe the new type face is too small for him to read.

[flatjack9]

Ron is having trouble finding his way around with his bad vision. His grandson is going to give him a hand. I hope it will be easier for him when he gets used to the place. Bill

[Sid the Maineiac]

Here's hoping Ol Ron gets on here OK !1 Sure miss hearing from him!!

[Ryan]

I'd be happy to set up a theme for him with extra large fonts...

[52merc]

that would be great ryan,,we do not want to lose guys with his knowlage trev

[Bruce Lancaster]

He is for sure within the top two suppliers of good information on Fordbarn V8. We need to fly out a delegation to get him set up on the new computer stuff.
I have a television set based magnifier that would allow him to read micrometers and printed sources greatly enlarged and shown on the TV...I think for his sort of vision, distance vision works better than near even without the enlargement issues. Is there anyone up there by the North Pole that could help him set up such a rig??

[Bob/Ohio]

I just got on today! I have been reading the Fordbarn for about 2 years now. Old Ron helped me quite a bit with emails and posts on the Fordbarn while I was building my first flathead. He and many others out there have been more than willing to go out of their way to help guys just getting into these old engines. I am sure he will be on the "new" site soon.

[GreenMtnBoy]

I'll shoot a mutual friend an e-mail and see if he's thawed out yet, it's still Mud-Season up there.

[Ryan]

If he has any troubles at all, I'm here...

[4tford]

Ryan, I sent you a PM on Sunday, did you not get it??? Bill

[Ryan]

I might have missed it... I've had 164 private messages since then... And I recently emptied my box. Sorry. Can you resend it?

[Ford46]

The "Barn" just wouldn't be the same without guys like Ol' Ron, a wealth of information and a pretty sharp wit to boot. Perhaps he's knee deep cookin' Chili for the New England Fordbarn tour? I'm not sure if his location is a scheduled stop or not? get the search party out and round him up for us. We miss him! LouB.

[52merc]

bruce that would be great trev

[uncle max]

Bringing this back up where it needs to be...

[52merc]

he wont be coming onto this site i have just been advised,he has no interest in it at all

[37-48Ford]

Wow! That is sad to hear.

[jerry grayson]

For what ever reason, I am afraid that a lot of the old Fordbarn posters are not interested in the new format or find it confusing or find it not rewarding.

[elwood]

i liked b4 where yu could look to see who all has replied to a cretin post, most times i just look for my favorite posters and read what they posted, not even caring about the topic.
i like the old format better.

That's a real bummer, as some folks would say. I'm not going to personally give up hope for getting him signed up and back in here posting. I would have to credit Ol' Ron as one of the key figures for the modern day renewal of interest in the old flathead Ford engine. Let's all keep after him in some way to get his rear over here on the new Barn JM

Darn.

If anyone cares to pass this along to Ron, let him know I was in the process of putting in a SBC/TH400 into my chassis when I received his reprinted book from Bill Boomer.

Two weeks later I had a FH and 3 spd put into it, honestly, if it wasn't for Rons book (even though I won't be souping it up anytime soon), I'd be running the SBC.

[Ol' Ron]
