    I know he mentioned that life in general was taking away from his web surfing time.

    Just noticed he hasn't been around here since before Christmas - Anyone hear from him lately?

    "The new job is a hassle and the kids have the flu. It sure has been nice talking to you Dad." Fitz new job takes a lot of his time. I do miss him and his knowledge.

    His old posts keep getting bumped, so it's kinda like he's still here, shouting at us all about delaminating brakes and valve shim adjustment. I guess that's just his ghost.

    Just me but i have a feeling someone really pissed him off otherwise he would stop in now and then. He really loved this site and spent a lot of time here. Just to disappear does not sound like something he would do

    Nah, you don't drop something like this over an argument. Its gotta be something bigger. Or the man is literally working 24/7 with no computer at work or home.

    His last post on the matter made it clear that he's working his ass off. I'm even working two jobs now. He'll be back.

    Yeah, he's gotta: Spring's finally starting to warm up in the greater Lake Erie areas. He'll probably post once he's gotten a first ride out for the year.

    I don't know if he said it out right, but he definitely made it sound like he was only getting on the forums through the computer he had at his last job.

    Well if he does not have one at home. I am sure with the amount of people he has helped someone would donate him 1.

    I think it was also a time issue at home as well. in fact I believe it was a time issue at home and the new job didn't allow forum access at work, thereby cutting his forum time to zero.

    Could somebody donate some free time to the poor guy? I barely have any. Could be something to do with the fact that I'm here 10 times a week! At least it's not something awful like wasting my time WORKING or something!:eek:

    I talked with him several weeks back----he's incredibly busy, work computer has changed and can't access here as he did before, says hello to people, and will post if/when he can.

    He's physically ok, no need to worry .... I posted this at the time, after talking with him. You must have missed that.
