Thank you
Mon, September 16, 2024 I am grateful for all those who were concerned about my absence from my blog and the Dave Moulton Bike Registry. The Registry was down because the hosting fees had expired. I renewed it for a year, and it will be up later this week.
I need help, not just financially, I need someone to take over the Bike Registry and the blog. We are none of us getting any younger. I will be eighty-nine in a few months and time is becoming more precious. I need time to exercise, time to rest, and work on other projects, besides bicycles. I do not need to be sitting in front of a computer for hours at a time.
There will come a time when I will have no choice but to step down. It makes sense to me to not wait until that time, but to take over now while I am still somewhat coherent. The Registry and blog would be a good fit for a Bike Store or any other relevant business. Money can be made from advertising revenue, I used to do that, but it takes time to keep track of revenues and ad running times.
I have never charged for entering people’s bikes on the registry but relied on voluntary contributions. This has never worked, and just a handful of people are over generous to the point of becoming almost embarrassing.
I have put so many hours into these projects I hate to see them just disappear. I welcome your thoughts on this and other related issues.

Yes, I was starting to wonder where you went . Maybe you could link up somehow to the guy who took over Sheldon's website? Just brainstorming. Loved your articles, it would be a shame to see them gone. My favorites were "douchebags" and "cable flow" . God Bless and Thanks and prayers for peace and mellow.
Dave, I would be happy to host your blog for you. Unfortunately, I am unable to handle the bike registry. Let me know if there is someway I can help out. Regards, Doug
Dave: I used to read your blog daily and always hoped that it would not go silent. I don't have the knowledge (content or platform) to manage a blog but I do hope someone will step up.
Good luck to you.
Dave I would like a copy of your funny jokes book would you sell me one, please let me know how I order it, Your old friends 91-year-old JOHN AND MARCIA CRUMP
