Title: Where are they?
Post by: mudduck48 on December 06, 2013, 05:46:04 AM
Where is 1377x Ed? Where is Brent? Where is Chongman? AgentWD40_FL? agninja? Brutuz? droid? JEBet? Nate? NorthStaR? packrat? I could go through the members list and find a lot more. But, hay, what the duck? I guess when you find the "cure", you just fade away.  ??? ??? ???

Not the "answer" only a guess :
Post Turkey-Day hangovers for some?  This festive season gets to be a little to "Festive" in responsibilities sometimes.  Rodger (Packrat) hasn't been here in some time, that I've known of.

Post by: quickster47 † on December 07, 2013, 01:03:14 AM
I am pretty sure that Rodger, AKA packrat, passed away a while back.  My last eMail exchange with him was depressing and disturbing.  He had some serious cancer problems yet continued to smoke.

Northstar is still in the UK doing okay.  He does plan on coming back to the CAPOF one of these days when his current set of woes is over with.  He was having some difficulties with family members.

AgentWD40_FL got what he wanted and dropped out of sight.

NorthStar and I were supposed to find a way to mod the EB22's trigger set-up but it never happened. Good chap, he is and we always got along well. 'Hope he is okay.

  You know we all matter to some one and er all matter to everyone here!  When you are useto a person being there all the time and then they are gone for a while you start to wonder where or what has happened to them!  Most of us on here are up in age or have some bad health trouble and we worry about them. I have given my wife my screen name and my pass word so if I get sick or pass on the the big Crosman store  ;D ;D ;D everyone will know whats up ;) ;)

If I did get what I wanted, I guess I lost it because I cant find it.

3 guns are on the bench getting a makeover, while the others dont need a thing. Maybe I'll start shooting some paper, instead of cans, if I can find the magnifying glass to check my shot scores.

With the slight up tick in the economy, some may actually have decided to get real jobs ;D. Other options are: parole violations (i.e. back in the joint), witness protection program or perhaps in the case of the Brits, hooked up with Dr. Who and convinced him to take them (via the Tardis) back to the 1960s to pick up a boatload of (now classic) airguns.

BTW, for the Brits that think that I'm mocking them, I was a super fan of Dr. Who back when Tom Baker was THE Dr. AND we named our 2nd daughter Tegan after one of the babelicious assistants. So there!
