Question What happened?

I realize that every one of us has a busy life, but what happened to everybody?

Mike, Liz and George: I know school's back in session, but I'm sure you all have 5 minutes of free time to B.S. a little.

Marty: I know you can't be watching Deadliest Catch 24/7. It's just physically impossible.

Tom: You can't have lost so many beers that you need to take this much time finding them all.

Jared: I know you've always got a project going, but sometimes you just need to take a break!

And DJ: Your diesel couldn't have broken down so bad that you have been underneath it all this time!

Just a friendly reminder to all members of WAFTE that this forum has gotten pretty dang quiet without you!!

Holler back!

Yeah, I've been lurking off and on.
Took a carcass to scrap today, they're finally paying a respectable price for steel scrap. Also tinkered on a bunch of stuff around the house, fixed the toilet I broke, etc.
Now I need to get going on the Wagoneer, tear into my trucks so I can get rid of another one, actually work on the garage a little bit, get the lawn nice, and all those other fun things that need to be done in the summer.

I'm still here too, been trying to convince a nut to loosen enough so I can adjust my steering, been mowing my lawn, and I think I found all the beer Tom lost. I figured he was done with them so i finished them off for him. It is getting quiet around here though. I hope this Chapter dosen't go the way of the Atlantic Canada Chapter, no new postes from Atlantic Canadians since I think 2001

Good to hear from you guys. I'm really starting to grow suspicious that Marty's trying to prove me wrong about the whole "Deadliest Catch" thing...

Mike, when are we gonna get together for a beer? At least call me if you're not going to reply to my pm's, dude! My place, you name the time.

Looking at the sky, I suspect you may be getting wet.

Yeah, we nixed the lake, and ended up at Salt Creek, where we found a fairly dry place to picnic among the trees. Hell, half the adventure of the day was driving around trying to figure out where to go!
