Concern about missing members

[Rick]

Haven't seen @BlueZ in a month or so either...

I been very busy.. Traveling+working for the job.. Today (Sat) during the day I had my first good nights sleep for a full week.
But I am making my highest salary ever.. so I am not complaining.

 

[CrackbottomLouis]

Got a little busy with life for the past while. New house I knew needed some work turned into a lot more work than I expected. All my gardening, etc projects got put on hold till next spring. Good news is, just about done. Just cleaning and organizing after all the hubbub.

More good news for me and the wife....come July we are going to be expanding our family by adding another cracked bottom to the tribe. If any of you remember, we had to do a surrogate. Our embryo just renting the oven. Well, after a couple year journey and many surrogate candidates we were blessed to find a wonderful woman willing to help us that actually passed medical. Confirmed preggers last Saturday.

Been shooting as much as I can. Still enjoying instructing with Appleseed and have been committing one night a week to shooting IDPA with my brother and a friend. I am glad I decided to devote some time to pistol practice. I certainly need the practice and still do.

Other than that just still trying to find a way to devote as much time to my family, house and hobbies instead of work as much as I can . Spent some time out in CO this summer doing all the coursework for my land consultant accreditation. Good times and learned a lot. Trying to take my business as much in that direction as I can.

That's my catch up. Hope all is well with everyone and I'll try and check back in more often.

I was wondering about you.

Glad your getting caught up.

Congratulations on the new family member.

Congrats CBL! That's awesome. I am glad things are finally working out on the reproductive front.

 

[Amish Heart]

Congats! Mr and Mrs Crackbottom!

OK, now where's Mo?

 

[Bacpacker]

Wasn't Mo talking about having a knee job sometime this month? Seems like I recall that.

 

[Terri9630]

Congratulations CBL!!

 

[CrackbottomLouis]

Thanks y'all! Big moment for us

Thank you all for your all concerns.
Life gets in way sometimes.
Had computer problems(like black screen problems) got temporary fix on that.
Then had Internet problems.
Hopefully next door neighbor problems will work out sooner than later.
Have found out some people should not take French Pastry Class.
Me being one of them.
My final was Puff Pastry.
Didn't completely fail it, but pretty darn close.
Second knee surgery is tentatively scheduled for January 2020.

Puff pastry is hard to get right. It's all about that high quality butter.

Will do, kind SIR!

 

[Weedygarden]

Good to see you here, MoBookworm 1957! Hopefully things will continue to improve.

 

[MoBookworm1957]

Puff pastry is hard to get right. It's all about that high quality butter.

As far as I'm concerned complete waste of 4-6 pounds of butter and my time.
It was so bad Strawberry wouldn't eat it.
Nor would Zeus who eats everything.
Both dogs turned their noses up at it.

[Weedygarden]

I know there is another thread asking about people who are MIA.

The Innkeeper! Has anyone heard from or about him? He was such a regular and now he hasn't been around for a while.

 

[LadyLocust]

Haven't heard from him or @timmie

Where have you been young man! You had me and the forum worried sick! Go to your laptop right now and post some stuff!


Glad to hear you are closer to home. Less concerning for when the SHTF.

 

[Patchouli]

yah, it's been since November that @The Innkeeper was here. He had a little bit of a cross up with some bad weather while traveling.

 

[Peanut]

The Innkeeper also discovered a major health issue that week (reason for the drive). I imagine he's dealing with that.

I hope he is well. Does anyone have contact with him outside of the forum?
