I don't know you or ever had a conversation to with you, but in my humble opinion are worth your weight in gold for people like me. I wonder how many people have completed or was able to get one step closer to completing their dream project because of the information you were able to get them. Thank you for being willing to break your stuff and screw up your things so that you may pass along that knowlege to us. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2000 Posts: 1,398 Camp Commandant | | Camp Commandant Joined: Nov 2000 Posts: 1,398 | Very true, except for the part aboout breaking things. Beyond his vast education and his profession he has a natural mechanical ability giving him a clear view of what works and what doesn't before he builds something. If he does something twice its only because he found an even better way to build it.
He has been a huge help to me on my projects. Plus he is a great guy to hang out with and a friend. He is also the offical ODSS truck show tour guide!!

Test Pilot, Grigg is a generous fellow who is intelligent and conveys complex information in everyman's language so that all can understand. In addition he is what I call a 'thorough listener', a person who listens or reads every word you say and then responds with experience and knowledge he has acquired. My previous statement sounds simple, but Grigg is truly interested in helping find the most efficient and practical solution to a problem. Lastly he has never in the six years I have known him "...break your (his) stuff and screw up your things so that you may pass along that knowlege to us." If you are ever planning a trip down to the colonies here in Maryland and Virginia give us a heads-up so that we can arrange a meet.

President, ODSS (Old Dominion Stovebolt Society) Semper Stoveboltus I was just being facetious with the breaking comment I promise judgeing by his post I'm convinced it all wasn't trial and error | | | | | Joined: Apr 2007 Posts: 456 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Apr 2007 Posts: 456 | You all quit talking nice about Grigg; he is evil and he is plotting your demise. I just drove 2,100 miles with him and all he did on the trip was plot how to kill John Milliman and Billy Marlow. After he terminates them, he will approach their grieving widows and offer to haul away their "junk" for free. You all see a softspoken genius who is willing to help anybody out... I see a killing machine with impressive knowledge of trucks.
Don't say I didn't warn you,

He got me parts for my Detroit Diesel and even you said I snore like a 6v-53 jake breaking through the hollar. Thats got to score some points with him. Although......I think both our wifes wouldn't mind seeing our "junk" being hauled out the driveway.
I wonder how many ways you could kill a guy with that 6" adjustable wrench that he is known to carry.......
Time to stock up on the mint chocolate chip ice cream just in case he.....stops by...

Very likely the father of modern machine tools. "First, get a clear notion of what you desire to accomplish, and then in all probability you will succeed in doing it..." If there is something you're interested in first learn all you can about it; how it works and why. Then trouble shooting, problem solving, and improving on it is not so hard after all. Grigg P.S. George, I've got my eye on an awful nice looking Suburban too.... | | |
