So what happened to Ian, the last we heard for him was in Feb. I miss his comments and pictures.

 

The head is gray, hands don't work , back is weak, legs give out, eyes are gone, money go's and my wife still love's Me.

I am sure many have missed Ian,  I had occasion to contact Rene a couple of months ago and I mentioned his absence then.  I thought there may have been the possibility he was on vacation.

Maybe someone down under knows.

Hey there,

     I was thinking about this myself a short while back. I'm sure he will surface or someone will fill us in. Later eh...Brian.

It does make life extremely difficult when one espouses one manufacturer and one point of view to the exclusion of all others, and that point of view suddenly has issues......especially when said issues are well documented on other forums.

Would think ole chap Brown is house sitting.....he always spoke of it and his sailing boat. But LGB could have pushed him over the bridge.

Yeah, I miss Ian's salty wit. I was wondering about his absence too.  Hope all is well with him.

You may recall that Ian and me had posts pulled a few months ago, to this day I don't know why, but I suspect Ian thought 'to hell with it'.

4 yrs ago I posted on this forum and said same thing but different reasons. There is alot more forums out there and some I lurk. Iget the info I need and say nothing.

You seen no pixs of my stuff have you? Nope! Will you? Might. Would I help a fellow man/gal out, heck yea or try to.

But remember my shop is about 1/2 done and some of it is the heavy stuff, posting pictures of what I am redoing is boring to me so I don't post those "clean up" pics.

I been in the hobby 5 yrs now and one day something came to me. "You give a boy a train and he can build a empire when he grows up." William Pugh 07' I still feel it holds true as much distruction I have seen as a Texas Peace Officer and other.

Does that make since? And I am the young one here lol Grumpy [|(]
