I think he made some changes to his life. One change was no PPOT time wasting, IIRC.

I think he got back with his wife...but becoming a drop out here may have been part of the deal? Just guessing. A guy of many talents. I'm wising him well...

+1 I think one of the conditions of his reconciliation was to GET THE HELL OFF THE INTERNET. I'm sure he's fine.

If I recall correctly, he has some issues with internet pornography.

He quit because some azholes were very rude to his wife; who joined us here temporarily.
Some of the guys know him well and last I heard he was doing good.
He's likely lurking......

Were there rude responses? I don't remember that. I got the impression that he was not going to be on the computer much for any reason, to reduce concerns about what might be there. Things were up and down for a while as well, and in the current economic climate, hopefully he was able to find something stable.

Hope they never meet him in the "gravity world". Sweetest guy in the world but also one of the physically strongest men I've ever met. Benches ~425 lbs. in his 40s. This is a pic of the 2 of us in '07, I'm 6' and ~180 lbs.:

Ryan is a great guy, I miss him here on PPOT. He helped me quite a bit with my '74 911 as he had one before his 993.

Didn't the universe dump all over him in the span of a month? Lost his Rabbit, wife, and something else?

I don't know why, I got his avatar confused with 911Rob's. I hope Ryan's doing O.K., seemed like a genuinely nice guy with a lot on his plate.

I spent some time with him a year ago Thanksgiving on my way east-west..
(actually he just got out of jail the day before on a domestic thing, I"m sure he'd laugh about it now).. I've put in a few calls to him but no response, but he's still got the same voice mail so I know he's doing ok..
Great guy..

Only issue is that there aren't enough FREE porn sites on the internet.
