He just lives a couple miles north of me but I don't know exactly where.
Maybe he has been staying up at the lake.

So is Ditch Digger. I've not seen a post from digger in so long I have been wondering what the heck has happened to him. He used to call me via phone fairly regularly also and I've not heard from him in months.

Bill, I guess that's what is wonderful about this site.  If someone's gone for a bit we worry and try to check things out.  I was off line a while back because of computer problems and my mother's death, and Tim and other guys were looking for me.  Can you call digger and see if he's ok?

Thanks,

Pete

P.S.......we worry about you too ::)

Good to hear you're OK Digger. I can't even do that much traveling in the SUV much less on a bike. That's almost as many miles as I've put on my Sequoia in two years I've owned it now. It just rolled 11,000 last week and that counts the 3000 out to the PD shoot and back.

Well , I have heard from both Digger as well as Booth , as you found out , Digger was being a world traviler on the his new toy  ;D and as for Booth he's just been kinda out of sorts with life in general and not been much in the chating mood  :(

That is something that I can relate too , I've been working a shut-down with a whole bunch of off-site experts ( Ya Right ) that don't have a clue  >:( >:( >:( as to how the real world works .

I'm just glad that both are well , as they do have a lot of wisdom to share with us at GBO , life can get you down from time to time , but were all family here  .  ;)
