hi all,
just new here on the forum.
i'm yoeri , 35 years old an living in belgium ( europe)

Welcome Yoeri, glad you're here with us.

It's kind of funny that you add "Europe" to your post.

@Another Ahab :got the question on other forums i'm on

In a way, you know:

- That's kind of funny, and frightening, all at the same time!

 

[yoeri]

mostly funny

You're right, yoeri, but I got to tell you:

- Ignorance is scary

“Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge: it is those who know little, not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science.”
― Charles Darwin, The Descent of Man

@Another Ahab: i do understand what you mean.
but it's just a fact that lots of people are ignorant about things like history or other stuff.

they just have other interests than knowing where on the map a country or region is situated.

just last week some friendly neighbour informed me that it's just crazy to spend that much time and money in restoring what he called an old pile of scrap metal...
for him it's just old scrap , for me a marker in history.

but i do know that he has the same idea about musea, just a collection of useless old junk.
i don't argue with him , i just let him live the way he wants to

i gues all of the members here do know where belgium is on the map, but as a result of getting the question on other forums and chatsites i've grown acustomed to add it to my new member post

this year will be the first visit to war and peace show
but not with the mv , will be with the every day car and just a day .

the MV is not in shape to drive herself, she needs a total frame of restoration.
when i found her she had been standing in a shed for about 12 years.

That is a long way for one day unless you are staying somewhere and touring. Look for the 60 foot mast and American flag on my reo. Come and chat with us.

Welcome.

Where at in Belgium? Travelled through just about every nook and cranny of Belgium. Probably spent enough time there to have been declared a resident (LOL).

will do that
reason for the one day trip is the fact that i don't have a plce for the dogs and their bench

probably next year for the entire time of the W&P

I used to get on the A3 at Eupen/Verviers to Brussels. Sometimes I'd go to or from Brussels via Maastricht or Bastogne---depending on how much time I had, traffic expected and whatever direction the Lord pointed me.

 

[Woodsplinter]

Bedankt voor de link! Ziet eruit alsof je een hoop werk voor je.
Succes!

 

[yoeri]

is inderdaad best een hoop werk
om te beginnen al eerst de flanken van het cargobed repareren.

zal er straks ook een foto van posten

maar we doen het graag.
moeilijkste zal zijn de kd box te vinden of namaken

Whats Belgium like?
The only thing I know about Belgium is Browning used to have some very talented people in their facilities and they made some very nice umm sporting equipment.

I have a neice at the University in Leuven, yoeri; small world!

She's fluent in French (and also Russian, and now! wants to start learning Spanish), but her program at the University is all taught in English. I thought that was kind of funny.

Welcome Yoeri from the left coast (California). I remember climbing lots of stairs inside
the Atomium back in '61 on a vacation to Europe while in school in England.
