I think for me the title of Rivet Master basically means I am in too deep now to back out. My 1973 31' Airstream is still not done yet but it will be some day. In some respects interacting with people in these forums has been more fun than the restoration work itself. Also the interaction has helped me keep going on my project. Checking in with the forums from time to time reminds me that I am not the only person out there with an ongoing Airstream project. I have enjoyed the learning experience and I have also enjoyed sharing insights that I have picked up along the way.

I think any of us with more than 3,000 posts should get a complimentary membership in the "Get a Life Club."

Congrats from a single rivet on your promotion, I hope this means you have only right answers. I brought home my Sovereign from Hornbrook this past weekend. I was right next to you, gorgeous up there. Hope to do improvements to go back up.

I am a "Newbe" here, and for a while I tried to ressist replying to this post for the fear of someone missunderstanding me. I am not a rivet master and even if I were, my view would have a different approach. Now, since I no longer can ressist the temptation of replying to this thread, here what I think it should mean. It should not be about number of posts or the replies we make. It should be about the satisfaction of having gained knowledge thru experience, willingness and the ability to help others. "KNOWLEDGE WHICH IS NOT SHARED, SERVES ONLY SELF INDUCED GRATIFICATION". So let's hear loud cheers for all of you who shared their knowledge and helped others. Sincere thanks to all of you, and hope that the good feeling about yourself is your treasured reward. Thank you, "Boatdoc"

Actually pretty exciting to me!

I have never had a "master" title for anything before!

Well folks, let's hear it! What does it mean to you???

Thanks!

Mrs. NorCal Bambi (traveling in S Tardis)

Congratulations on you 500th. Your comment about never had the "master" title before reminds me of an old joke.

There was this guy who was hired on a fishing boat to bait the hooks. Since he was an entry level employee he was giver the title of apprentice baiter.
Time went on and he became better and better at his job. He was promoted to Junior Baiter then Senior Baiter and....................
You know what, I can't tell that joke here

.
Sorry, PM me if you need to hear the punch line.

BTW, I wanted you to have this copy of your 500th post.

Congrats on the 500th!

Marv, not that I needed another post just to congratulate CaddieGrn -- but I frequently see the need to add an 'I agree' or 'I disagree' because threads often head in directions that might mislead an inexperienced reader -- or are outright wrong.

But Claudia, I appreciate your enthusiasm for the road -- keep posting! Woo-hoo!!

We hope to be there one day.

Thanks a bunch! Now that "my" Bambi is just about finished.... except for some curtain finishing and other "decorating" touches (Don does have to finish the stereo system....and a few things....) I think I will relax. It is getting chilly outside so more time on the forum must certainly be in order!
