My condolences Mike. I’m sure you will find a lot of our numbers in your dads phone that he hardly turned on. Running joke with him on this. He will be missed a lot. welcome to the barn.

Being from Louisiana, I used to talk to your Dad about fishing...he always gave me details about what was biting. He sent me a pm one day and told me to come over to this site (from the OTHER one). Great guy, sorry for your loss.

Welcome Mike, what does one have to do to become a certified Cajun? Wrassle gators and eat all kinds of spicy water creatures?

I am very sorry for your loss, Mike. I really enjoyed back and forth's with your dad, who I called 'Kazoo's and Subarus', which he thought was a hoot. He was a very cool and much-appreciated guy. Welcome aboard.

Thank you all.
Glad you are here Mike! Are you his "black son" that he always spoke of?

I have spoken to your Dad many times, I regret having never met him in person. His family was his everything, he always talked about you guys.

Ummm.... if you get into his computer and find the folder of CFOT or Barn chops, you should post em up.

His sense of humor was priceless his jaw jacking and Kay~June personality will be missed!

Glad you are here to carry on, welcome to the insanity

Welcome to the barn, Mike!

Very sorry for your loss. Lost my father this year too, and I still miss him.

I never did get a chance to meet your father, Jimbly, although I'm sure we would have been fast friends. He was always a pleasure to banter with, and he will be greatly missed.

Again, welcome.

Hey Mike. Will miss him as I’m sure y’all are. Always enjoyed the conversations with him and his demeanor was always positive. He talked a lot about you and your sister our last few calls.

Welcome, and feel free to hang around. Careful of Porter though

Default Still learning.

Thank y’all again. I knew he was known around here really good, but didn’t know exactly how much he leaned to y’all.
I’m still learning the forum. I’m not sure how to reply to comments.
Also, I found a Vette Barn app. Is that for this forum?

Yes there is an app. You reply by hitting the Quote button on the bottom right side of a reply. the " next to quote will allow you to multi quote people when you select it on each reply people make. Just a quick way to reply all at once. You will figure it out.m I think there may be a new person area on here with more info. Rob or Tim can help as well. They are admins on here.

To reply to your comment, I clicked the Quote button at the bottom right of your post. You’ll see a box that pops up, with what looks a lot like the text in your post with some additional gobbledygook added. There is a big blank space underneath your post. When I clicked in that blank space there, I was able to type a reply to you.

After I typed this stuff that you are now reading, I scrolled down just a little bit to the blue button that says “Submit Reply” and, voila, there is my reply to your post, all tucked into the thread at the very end.

Also the app that you found is a handy way to access this forum with your phone. I believe it’s called TapAtalk or something like that. It amounts to another way to read the different threads on the forum, and also to reply (post stuff of your own). Don’t be afraid to click around. You can click on thread titles and read about topics, and you can even start threads of your own, and post replies within threads.

Any questions, just ask! We are pretty sarcastic and snarky but I’d venture that just about anyone would be happy to give you a little help if you need it.

Welcome aboard!
