When I frequented 1stgen.org there was a group that met every fall for Smoke Over Peru at one guy's farm. Camped out a weekend and had some how-to sessions and some BS sessions too. Neat group of guys and fun the time I went but it was always on my anniversary and for some reason my wife expected me to spend the weekend with her instead of my truck, go figure.
Also used to get together with some Power Wagon buddys from the Power Wagon Advertisor forum but that was years ago.
Would be neat to do that with you guys but you are mostly so spread out across the country. I like the idea of a shout out when traveling and maybe a quick visit then. I'll be in western KY this weekend, maybe just a couple hours from 1stgenfarmboy.
And I agree this is the most respectable forum out there other than the PWA. Only thing that irritates me is posters that need to take English Composition over (or for the first time maybe?) but I guess that is just my generation since I didn't grow up, and try to avoid, texting.

Lets also not forget WannaDiesel who was the top volume poster on the entire site, and helpful to many - especially newcomers. ...there was a bit of a falling out when Wanna changed her name to Faith. I think the time Wanna invested on here was a huge if not the single force that built up this forum to be the most active first gen related BBS online.
Faith is a great individual, kind to a fault. She is missed around here and we hope life is going well for her. I took a lot of grief because I stood up for her but I considered her a friend for many years and I don't dump friends because they hit a tough spot in life.
No one can deny the contributions made to this forum and the community as a whole by her over the years, pretty remarkable indeed

We're still missing her here in ways we will never know. I was recently reading a post by WannaDiesel in an ancient thread and she mentioned that when the A/C and Overdrive cut out simultaneously, it is certainly related to the Crankshaft Position Sensor. It made me realize that when I experienced CPS issues, she could have diagnosed the problem in a nanosecond. (Thanks to this forum I diagnosed and repaired the issue but it took me a few weeks.) Not only was Wanna's knowledge of First Gens extensive, she was patient and willing to help anyone run down a problem.

I have been to Smoke Over Peru "the 1stgen.org get together" 3 times, it has now moved to just west of St.Louis MO, it's a good time with a group of guys that are alot like you guys.

Anybody have any idea where Wanna is now or what she is up to? I agree that she was a huge help and a great asset. I had the pleasure of meeting her at a Ky get-together way back in the day, back before.
Didn't realize SOP had moved. Is it still roughly the same type event? About the same distance for me still I guess. Need to visit 1stgen.org again and catch up.

How are your neighbors ? Barney and Betty still doing okay with Bam Bam ? Last time we spoke, he was getting into some trouble with the local kids, putting them in the hospital.
I'm sure you helped them sort all that stuff out....
Last I heard Barney and Betty were doing great But Fred and Wilma were going thru a mid-life crises thing

I believe she joind a Catholic religious group that supports trans gender people, and decided to focus on that. Could be wrong, but I recall a post about the venture.
