Missing pelicans?

[rattlsnak]

The other thread got me thinking.. Anybody heard from Rob - RKT? He was building me a diorama and was fighting sickness on and off and he went radio silent last Feb..

Also, anyone heard from Matt? - onewhippedpuppy?

Though I post on some of them ... I agree.

For anyone who's been around for over two decades... MOST Pelicans have gone missing ... 'tis what it 'tis ....

It's like anything else. At some point people say "why am I here?". People grow and change.

JoeBob (Mike) hasn't been around for a while. Tabs also. LubeMaster left for sometime but recently made an appearance. Z Man came back as a Mod in PARF recently but I don't think he's active right now. Vash drops in every once in a while.

Me? - I'm officially retired however I'm busier now than ever before but I still make time for this place.

Joe Bob was online early this morning EST.

I met up with him last November in Eureka Springs, AR at a PCA event when he was selling some dioramas. He had a lot of really cool ones that sold. He as come as a vendor several years in a row. If he is there this November, I will be sure to tell him his Pelican friends miss him.

Anyway his health was not great, and he was looking tired. I will not get into what the issue is for his privacy.

Just find and open an old thread.

The crowd was hard on Maxim1...
I liked his attitude on crashing cars.

How many cars are you crashed in this year?(+photo!)

Years ago ... back when Wayne's servers "reset" at 6:30 EST .... Matt, James, Rick, and Tabby (up late in LV) were regulars each morning .... along with a few others ....

I had been on one of my longer hiati (hiatuses???) a few years ago when Matt triggered my return with a PM (email sent)....

I bet he's on the lake this weekend

I know there are other threads about the missing, but I just want to list the ones that jump to my mind, maybe because they had a long presence here:

Sammy2g
Island911
Tabs

Curious if anyone has recent updates. And yes I saw the Tabs awol thread.

Sometimes folks mentally check out for whatever reason . Or get banned . Or unfortunately pass away . If someone passes away how would the forum know ? Unless a family member chimes in or a forum member happens to see the obit all we know is radio silence .

I told Ms. Rocket to post I had gone to the big race track in the sky upon my passing. She probably won’t remember.

When the inevitable happens, my eldest daughter has a list and instructions for my online presence.

Which also means my last post here will be all lower case.

I posted about my buddy Richard Davis, his Pelican name was RKDinOKC

We ate lunch together one day per week for many years. He was a very funny, very smart man (about most things) but stupid as hell about his own health. He had a stroke in the middle of the Covid lock-down, and I could not even go visit him in the hospital.

He never got to come home from the hospital after they gave him Covid.

He loved Golden Retrievers and always owned one. His family gave me a box of his "Porsche stuff" an in it were several nice 928 themed watches. I sold all of them on Rennlist as they have an active 928 forum. I took all that cash, and donated it to a Golden Retriever rescue charity.

I miss Richard every Tuesday as that was the day we normally went to lunch.

We need a sticky thread of those who have passed as a tribute..

[john70t]

RandyWebb, Angela, Tabdulla, EarlySMan, I'm forgetting some many others.

Anyone heard from Island911?
Taking a break or sick of it all, I hope? Last post was middle of 2023.

EarlySMan (Warren) passed away long ago.
