Catman for ACMOC Member of the Year.

I think Catman should be voted ACMOC Member of the Year.

This guy has helped fellow antique caterpillar collectors around the world, with his engineering / manufacturing skills and dedication to help fellow collectors. Last time I visited the CatCave Byron was busy boxing up new castings for his friends in USA, OZ, NZ, EU and even USSR on the Shipping Address Labels. I didn’t take in all the details but they looked really complex. I decided to post up this thread for a True Cat ACMOC supporter, and a Good friend of mine.

I would like to share the following information with all acmoc members.

Cat-Cave Update 22 Nov 2011

Zero degree's at night and frost in the morning, Typical Dark Early Winter Days this side, I guess them Guys Down Under are enjoying there Summer Months and down the Beaches building sand castles. After spending days in the Foundry wearing only a T-Shirt and Hot Metal at 1800 degrees looks like I have actually got a sun tan. and been playing in the sand at the same time.

Cat 20 PL / L / early Cat 25 Inlet Manifold & the Cat 30 S/PS Inlet Manifold Projects are nearly at an end. Thanks to all my Friends (True Friends, the onces I can Trust) around the world for taking part in this Venture.

Yes I hear he does quality work. I'm looking forward to the crank handle Byron is casting for my old R5.

Don't forget about the huge Woodland show we had this last summer and all the hours donated by Jessy and friends. These folks too are very willing to help fellow Cat lovers.

What a lovely sentiment. It's so nice when people post kind words on the bulletin instead rude ones full of profanity and threats.

Why make such a nomination anonymously? You and Byron must be vey close friends, perhaps even went to school together? The grammatical "quirks" in your posts are very similar.

I agree. Catman is a great guy and has WAY much to offer, but everybody ignores the fact of WHY he was sent to the corner. Why is that?:noidea::noidea::noidea:

The only thing sent to the corner was one alias.

Word is, Catman is up for parole after the first of the year. Hopefully he'll behave.

i live in mt and hes across the pond if you checked you would know that

I referred to the posting of a nomination, and you made none, so my post did not refer to you. I don't really think you are "Jimmy w," but I'm always open to the possibility that I could be wrong.

Reminds me of a sign posted at a local horse stable. It reads "Obey All Posted Speed Limits, or PARK HERE AND WALK IN." Seems like there's always a car parked in front of that sign.

In one of his earlier posts, there is a photo of him driving a lorry/truck with some of Byrons container material.

Well, if there's a picture on the internet, then it must be true.

In the interest of full disclosure, this is my shopping buddy, Pam. She is my home movie consultant, wardrobe manager, and sometimes does hauling for me on weekends. She will be posting on this bulletin board from time to time to promote my products and events, and also just to tell you all how wonderful I am.
