When I picked up ERA #424 in a blizzard on a Saturday night one February about eight years ago, Bob was the only one at the factory. He met me there about 8 p.m., helped me load it in the sleet, and probably has not had a night off since.
Bob, even though I'm not "currently" an ERA owner I hold you and the company (except Peter, natch) in the highest regard. You are the closest thing this forum has to an omniscent voice, and I'm glad you're still around in whatever capacity you can muster. I also join the ranks of those who hope your full-time presence as "Bob P." is restored at some point--
