New name / new year

Post by Atlas »

Well after being wiped totally out of the fordification world I'm back :thup: Same but shortened version of my old name , I've lost well over 1000 post credits and hundreds of photo uploads and am starting over. I was told by moderator Robert that there have been some strange things happening with fordification , but that my case took the prize. Everything that I had ever posted all my photos all my history for almost 4 years , everything was gone. I couldn't log on and I was told that Atlasexcavating didn't exist. My wife kept asking if I had said something wrong and that maybe I was banned , but no I've been a good boy :wink: On fordification I have anyways :) It's strange to say the least , maybe it's because I'm a Canuck :lol: The last thing I remember posting was birthday wishes for Ryan and that was a while back and I also downloaded the feature article from True Blue Trucks issue#7 of my truck, it's all gone. I was asked to wait before re-registering in case my history could be recovered but it didn't happen. I couldn't stand it any longer so I'm back.If any one wants any photos of my truck for reference let me know and I'll be happy to oblige.

Happy 2012 fordification brothers and sisters :thup:

I was just thinking that I hadn't seen any posts from you in a while. Sorry to hear you lost so much.

Thanks Bobby,Flatbed and Rob , it was strange for sure. Hey Rob , I may have been talking to you once and didn't know it, I was looking for the hydraulic hose place down from your shop on Kelvin street and asked for directions , I think it may have been you that I talked to. Is your shop just before the galloping goose crossing? Are you still at Wille Dodge? I wasn't in my truck, I was driving a beater maroon Caravan, it was last September.

Ya that's where my shop is. The boys and I still talk about the time the guy showed up in the beater caravan... scared us half to death hoping you didn't want a complete paint job! :lol: Just joking, I have so many people look for that place it's unreal. Especialy in the summer, they all use my lot to turn around in then ask one of us for directions. I was thinking of making shirts that say coast industrial with an arrow pointing to the left! If I charged a dollar for directions I could be retired by now!
So I don't remember you, I am about 6"3" 220lbs and my sister was diagnosed with cancer in Aug. so I shaved my head for her. Would have been pretty bald around Sept. :lol: I also wear a white paintsuit (cover alls). If your in the area again stop by.

Will do Rob, I'll stop in the next time I'm by there,I always need hydraulic stuff, hope all is well with your sister.
That definitely wasn't you I was talking to , he wasn't that big. Ya, the Caravan is my wife's delivery van , she owns "The Junction" used furniture and accessories, a great place to get cool /good quality/low priced used furniture at the Fort St. and Oak Bay Ave. intersection which is known as "The Junction".

Hey good to see you're back. :woohoo: I noticed you have been quiet lately, but then so have I, so wasn't sure. :hmm:

As always, beautiful pics of your beautiful Bump. Add more any time you like I never get tired of looking at her. Liked the article in True Blue also. As I remember you had some awesome pics of your truck posted. Pictures that made for great wallpaper on my computer.

Take Care, Happy New Year & God Bless,
Ed

Thanks for the welcome back and the compliments Ed , I'll slowly add photos again I'm sure. I wasn't "off Line" that long but it seemed long, because I couldn't do anything about it. I finally remembered that Robroy had his business email on his signature. I couldn't make contact any other way because you have to be a member to contact anyone. Once I contacted Robroy the ball started to roll, but to no avail.So I just re-registered.

I use a slideshow for a background and Dave's truck is one of my favorite slides. It's the one showing the front view with the ocean/lake in the background and the front tires turned just enough for a great shot. Welcome back Dave! We've missed you, and your truck, around here.
