What happened to

Post by barreldawg »

Members like PrariePiss, ScCacalacky, Bearriver, and woodshed? Shed totally changed how I approach distillation and his Bentfinger Bourbon was the best I have ever tried.
Thought maybe someone out there may be in touch with these people. Hope they are all well.

Thanks cob for being no help at all.

I hesitate to reply to this but think speculation might be worse than picking at scabs.
Three of those members listed have become infrequent visitors of their own volition for reasons known unto themselves and as stated one of them frequents other forums, I haven't asked him why as I figure if he hasn't volunteered that information to me then its none of my business. Of the other all I'd be comfortable saying is the regrettable situation at that time forced the board to make a difficult decision. I can assure you there was no malice and chances were given but in the end the forum rules apply to everyone weather they are moderators, commercial members held in high esteem or regular Joe floor members, it simply has to be that way.

I think PrariePiss is busy building a life "as independent and off the grid" as he can. Last I read, anyway. When you've got your hands that full, priorities become clear.

I hope he heads to town soon and gives us an update. This is the first time he’s gone on walkabout.

You are correct Uncle Jesse,heard from him about 6 months ago and is doing well,I was lucky enough to meet up with him about 8 months before he picked up roots and set them off in the wild hills to carry out his time unmolested and enjoy life as he sees fit,is a shame the short time the wife I spent with PP would of liked to meet him at a camp spot and let the drinks flow,he is a character and would of led to a hoot give better planning and a spot he did not have to drive home,( on a motorcycle) go figure!

They have gotten spoiled. So have I. We will see.

Don't know if the outhouse will look like that one. I might just do it to do it? LOL. There will be an outhouse. Just no hole in the ground. We have decided to go composting toilet. We have plenty of sawdust for it. LMAO.

Apologies to cob. I really came off wrong with what I wrote. Cool to get some feedback.
Looks like Truckinbutch has been in touch with all of them and things are well.

I'm alive and doing as good as I can. UJ is correct I am busy trying to build a off grid homestead while working a 40 hr a week job. Don't have much time for anything these days. We just got internet at the homestead recently. I will give a better update maybe later this evening. Or when I get a chance.

Wow, what's that old saying "Speak of the devil and he doth appear"
Nice to hear from PP every now and then :D

I have tried several times to get ahold of Bearriver but haven't managed to. I have considered several times just driving over to his place and checking on him but don't like to show up unannounced. I guess the best course of action is leave him be, he has my number and email if he needs anything from me but it would be nice to hear from him.

woodshed went radio silent in the real world too. even though there were problems on the boards, it seems to have spilled over from the real world. Have a good thought for him, sometime shit happens that is simply out of your control.

I miss bear too, he was a friend IRL and sadly missed here too. Hope all is well, my friend.

good to hear the ranch building is going well for you PrairiePiss!

So, out of the blue, i get a messenger contact from Bearriver yesterday afternoon. He is fine and as Bushman said above, has been working on some things in aspiration for a new career. Highly respectable choice that unfortunately doesn't get enough respect as it should due to the treatment of our last POTUS. I wished him good luck and encouraged him to show his face again soon, if nomoreso than does Prariepiss. We shall see.

He was supposed to be at the hoe down this weekend. Don't think that's happening. :(
