Brian,

I really think Matt was like 16 when I started the site. I hooked up with him around 99 or so, making it about 13 years that I've been on here. That would have made Matt about 17?! Wow, he is getting old, LOL!

Happy Birthday Matt, from Cari and I!

Thank you. I am sure I'm still a young gun to many of you, but I feel like I'm getting old!

Brian, I started it in my teens. 16 or 17 I think. Yea, it's been a while.

Thirty seemed old when I was 20 and now it equates to Spring Chicken status.

30 is the new 20 so unfortunately, you won't be able to drink for another year.

First off Happy Birthday Matt!!

Like many of you I remember the first time I stumbled on to the site in the late 90's when it was Joe and Matt's John Deere Snowmobiles. Even though this was before the forum days I enjoyed it immensely. Matt, It's amazing what you've accomplished over the years.

Thanks :sled:

Happy Birthday Matt!! I also would like to commend you on a great web-site. My beloved wife refers to this site as Facebook for old guys... :think: whatever.

Yes Matt, this site made it possible for me to drive 6 hours north to hang out with these other seemingly "normal" guys that like old John Deere sleds too. Thank you :laugh: Happy Birthday!
