Saying GoodBye - Honda Pilot

**colorider** · 03-14-2006, 06:13 PM

It’s been a great 3+ years, but it seems recently I have only been able to spend a very small amount of time here – and contribute even less. This year has thus far been a hectic and stressful one for me as the company I work for is being bought out and I am also rapidly approaching that magic age when I plan to step away from what I have been virtually consumed by for the last 39 years: The Hi Tech Industry.

With that, I say Good-Bye to all the friends I have made here (and also a few enemies, I’m sure).

If anyone has the inclination to contact me, you may PM me – which in turn will trigger an email to me.

Good Luck everyone – and enjoy those Pilots!!!!!

you will surely be missed. Guess this was coming

Hopefully you can still pop in sometimes and say hi to all here... best of luck with the remaining time with your current company... and enjoy that well earned retirement...

best of luck and enjoy those bikes

Can't believe you are saying goodbye. Please drop by from time to time and say hello. Will miss you. Good luck and best wishes on that change of work (NOT retirement!). If you are ever in the Raleigh NC area, drop by and

Best wishes to you in what ever you end up doing. But remember we'll be here..............Hell, why don't you be like Jay and continue to hang around, pop back in occasionally. We'll miss you.

Best of luck colorider, I have been retired for 4 years now, sad to say I have not missed working ever! The problem I have and hopefully you will have is, now there are not enough hours in the day to do nothing.

Colorider, hate to see you go. I have enjoyed your posts, spiced with senior wit and wisdom. You surely can check in every once in a while and give us an update. I may be one of the minority on the forums who is older than you.

Colorider,
You will be greatly missed. I hope you pull a Jay too like jdeanski says. Your input on the Pilot,Ridgeline and motorbikes was tremendous. I will keep in touch and hope you do as well.
Figures I go away for a couple of weeks, and this is the first msg I see! I am not reading anymore.
