Jim's Table ----- Provided by His Friends
« on: March 02, 2020, 11:22:51 am »
Greetings all.....

Given that Jim has been navigating through a herculian struggle helping his family, friends, and neighbors in the aftermath of fires and floods, I have taken it upon myself to open a table for Him.

Jim was instrumental in helping our forum get off to a great start a year ago and going forward until the fires commanded his attention. For this I am forever grateful and as a humble thank you, I am launching this table for him.

I am at work right now but will try to add more this evening.

I invite all who would like to pick a couple of your favorite videos from Jim's YouTube channel and post them here perhaps with a comment or two.

Jim's channel:
https://www.youtube.com/user/Blue123Heeler/videos

Thank you in advance,

Gil

Here is one to start..

Great idea Gil .... I was of a like mind, but I'm glad to see you've taken the lead here.

Jim is, and has been a steading influence throughout the formation of this Forum .... and we all owe him a great deal.

I was thinking of suggesting that we dedicate this GPU to Mr. Dale for all that he has done, and for all that he has been through!


Think I'll go with his Steam Room Tour:

"Information is not knowledge, Knowledge is not wisdom, Wisdom is not truth, Truth is not beauty, Beauty is not love, Love is not music: Music is THE BEST...   
Wisdom is the domain of the Wis (which is extinct). Beauty is a French phonetic corruption of a short cloth neck ornament currently in resurgence..."

Great idea Gil!

His S-50 has to be one of my favorites, very well displayed and a clever setup





Another favorite is his Perseus, mostly because I want one myself  :D

Great idea.

Too many favorites to choose from, but I loved his taking on the Empire Multi-Diameter Transmission project.

Guess I'll follow up with Jim's shop tour. Sad to think that much of this has been underwater in the recent floods!

What can I say, I would have chosen the tour of Jim's steam room to post. :)
So many items to choose from.
