Fast Fred is out there...he's on a trip at the moment...but I'm sure he's reading (not really lurking) and digesting everything both here and on the BNO board.

For those of you who don't know Fred, and I honestly have to admit I don't (although I've tried to make a personal contact with him)
when he's ready to offer a bit of advice, qualified with a DIYW, he'll be here.

Fast Fred is one of those personalities who, in my humble opinion, has a wealth of knowledge, worlds of experience, is a very confident person in and of himself and speaks when he feels the time is right.

FWIW,

Bob

Fred,

I heard he was on a boat trip and he made a comment prior to that he didn't like the new MAK

or BNO boards style/format (If I remember correctly) said something about e-mailing him if they changed back.

Who Knows! ;D

Anyway, Glad your here!

I think he was spotted moored off Oderin, Placentia Bay the last of July. ;D

Where in the world is that, Ed?   Sounds like F/F is getting to be a world traveler....and I thought he retired from International flights!

Fred quickly became one of my favorite posters as I dug into the BNO archives. I wish we heard more from him.

Yeah, FF's a good guy. I really enjoy his posts and his depth of experience and knowledge. He's a boat guy, and really knows how to bring those concepts of small-footprint living to the coach conversion world.

Now, he does rub some people the wrong way, because he's very opinionated, esp. when it comes to:

Automatic transmissions
"slushbox fuel-wasters"
Rooftop air units "carbuncles"
Modern conversions "50,000 pound beheemoths for the Corian crowd"
Comm'l. campgrounds: "treeless wastelands"
Mod. Sine inverters: "chop chop chop"
eastern US mountain ranges "speedbumps"

He's also very partial to GMC (and who could blame him ;D).

However, his favorite saying, and words to live by are, "Do it YOUR way."

Gads, I sure miss FF!

Uncle Ned, Two Dogs is easy to find, he back on the BNO board and has changed his handle to "Bob greenwood" I thought I recognized his posts, and when I checked his profile, his email was dosdogs@........in a few days the email addy was hidden.

check the BNO archives.....two dogs....electric fans.......accusing someone of burning their bus for Ins $$$....Grrrrr!
