+1 It has been nice to see Myles and Walking Wolf also.

[WalkingWolf]

Yup, Walking Wolf has been round for the past couple days also. Very well thought out folks.

Yup -- good to be back on and kind of read up on the present mindset/happenings. Good to see some familiar faces and, of course, all the newbs (and THOSE questions) -- where would we be without newbs. (All you newbs, if you haven't yet, consider dropping a Jackson or two in the till -- Benjamins work too -- to help keep this invaluable resource running).

Like all mentioned, life happens and we find ourselves pulled in multiple directions. I'll be around. Thanks for the kind words.

[decoy]

Hi guys,
Life has been busy with work and commitments, just no time for hobby stuff, but I do pop in from time to time to see whats new here.
Did a search for me "decoy" and found a number of posts referencing my work/ideas.
It's a nice feeling to know my work has contributed, or motivated others ideas or work in advancing the hobby.

My main interests or focus was in energy efficiency and process streamlining.
Distillation of alcohol, on one hand is as simple as boiling water, and on the other, more complex then sending a man to the moon, with something new to learn with every step.
Over time I have seen many awesome and puzzling stills made by members, and I hope to see many more.

Anyway thanks for the warm fuzzy, of being remembered or thought of.
Just noticed, few more months and its going to be 10 years since i became a member here.

cheers.

Damn it! I feel like I am in purgatory somewhere between this old guys and the newer ones!

Cheers decoy, I have great respect for you guys who walked on this moon and built the foundations of this forum long before us new pups come along! Welcome back, stick around, would like to hear your impressions of today's HD.

I agree, I have been off and on for a little while now, and the crowd has changed a little. It's great to see the information pass in and in though.

Hey guys anyone know HDNB well and know how he's doing. Logged on as normal on the 8th and just disappeared. Been long enough now for a few of us to be getting concerned.

I was wondering myself. I sent him a pm on the 7th to get in touch and it hasn't even been checked yet. Usually he is quick to reply. Hope everything is alright!

I'm sure there is a cut-off point for many people, reading and trying to answer the same questions over and over again. 10,000 keg stills, 100,000 batches of UJSSM. Nothing personal, but it does get boring. Also this a hobby that may not last for some people. Personally, I don't know when the next time I distill will be, maybe never. I have re-thought my relationship to alcohol, and my relationship to the internet, along with many other things that I believe it is healthy to review once in a while. And HD, and distilling itself, as good and fun as they are, can only take you so far. Other, more challenging hobbies come along. So maybe that is what happens to some people. And that is besides all the convoluted, distracting and sometimes unpleasant shit that happens in people's lives. And I'm very sorry to hear what is up with Mashrookie. That is a cruel thing to happen, and I hope he is able to keep his chin up through it.

My most challenging hobby is called Natiala. She's 22 blond and has huge tits.

[HDNB]

sorry for vapourizing...ran into some time suddenly and have had an opportunity to disappear into the wilds of Canada...so i took it.

back for a couple days, and then off to Las Vegas for more fun than mortal man deserves.

catch up with y'all soon...

I remember that. He came back after beating the case. Gave us an update then...poof

[FuelMaker]

Been wondering about Bearriver myself. Wanted to ask him a question about some stainless I bought off of him a couple years ago.

[Appalachia-Shiner]

Amazing how these old threads pop up now and again.
I am wondering about my buddy "Frodo"
Now he wasn't a wealth of knowledge about stilling, but he sure as hell could make some good food.
I met him in Mississippi and his wife was very very sick at the time.
I hope they are both OK.......

Googe I am glad you posted this. I have been wondering about Dunderhead. he was always willing to help without making you feel stupid. it is good to hear he is still logging on

[FullySilenced]

He has not logged on in over 2 years. He is well into his 80's and I believe I heard he was losing his sight so it made it difficult for him to post.

He was a great contributor, miss him as well.

[jus teasin]

sorry I missed the date on an earlier post.
it is sad to here he is not doing well

[WooTeck]

has anyone had notice back from bearriver?

[Odin]

I had already tried to contact Holy Bear / Wasabi like over a year ago. No response. I put in another effort just now. Let's see.

Regards, Odin.

Cranky is probably the closest to Bearriver, last time I saw him he was living with his wife and child at his dad's house. He was also looking for a new profession.

[Odin]

... and if I remember correctly he was active on the SD forum? Maybe Larry can help reach out?

Regards, Odin.
