Anyone know what happened to Bob Krech, Scotty Dog, or ThirstyBarabrian?

 

[Steve Shannon]

Bob posted that he was extremely busy long ago.

Bob K is alive and well, if a bit busy..
Thirsty I believe is tromping all over the world having the time of his life with his wife...
And I thought I saw Scotty post the other day..

Not that anyone cares, but I wrote a document for my wife ("What to Do if I Die"), and one of the items is to log onto TRF as me and post my demise. So don't freak out if you get a message from me telling you that I'm dead (hopefully many, many, many years from now). :wink:

That's not the only thing in the document! Most of it is financial, continuance of benefits, insurance, shutting off my Amazon, eBay accounts, etc. But I also want people to know what happened to me. Some folks just lose interest in the hobby and fade away, but unless you know them personally, you never know what happened to them. Which is why I ask from time to time, "What ever happened to so-and-so?"

 

[neil_w]

Honestly, that is a sensible thing to do for all social media on which you have any sort of significant presence.

"Missing Members" Sounds like a great name for a band with a sense of humor. Maybe an all female band?

She'll kill me for that one,, lol..
Hey,, maybe that's a sticky thread then ??

Yeah, I do miss Bob's posts. They were very informative in a Sheldon Cooper kind of way!

 

[ThirstyBarbarian]

Hey, everyone, I’m still alive!

K’Tesh called my attention to this thread, so I logged in just to reassure everyone that we do not need to invoke the Omega Protocol and do the final clean-up of my social media loose ends. Not yet!

As Teddy mentioned, I have been doing some traveling, the biggest trip being the Camino de Santiago trip I did a year ago. It’s not that I’ve been traveling so much that I don’t have time to post. But leading up to that trip, I joined some Facebook groups to help my planning, and during the trip, I used Facebook to update a group of friends and family about our progress. I guess I developed a Facebook habit, and that has consumed a lot of the time I used to spend on TRF. I still spend a lot of time on the American Pilgrims on the Camino (APOC) Facebook group, giving advice and encouragement to others who are preparing to walk and reliving my own experiences.

Also, lately a lot of my spare mental bandwidth has gone to obsessing over the state of our American politics. It’s not a subject that’s appropriate to TRF, so I’ve been spending more time ranting in other venues! So far, I haven’t been banned from any other sites! :wink:

And probably the biggest factor that has slowed my TRF participation is the fact that my local club LUNAR lost its LPR field, so my opportunities for real-world rocketry have dropped off dramatically. They used to hold monthly launches about 30 minutes from my home — G motor limit and a 1,000-foot ceiling. It was a great, convenient, inexpensive way to keep involved. Now if I want to go to a launch, it’s a 2.5-hour drive to a TCC launch, which I typically only want to do for their larger multi-day launches twice a year. Or I can go to the LUNAR HPR launches, which should be picking up soon, now that the rainy season has started. Those launches are about 90 minutes away and are once a month from December through about April. Time to dust off the fleet, I guess.

So, that’s what I’ve been up to...

 

[Bat-mite]

Good to hear from you. Sorry about your field. Check in now and then. :wink:

I see what you did there...

 

[T-Rex]

I have often wondered how to take care of my online presence when I'm gone. Thought about giving Mrs a document with all of the websites to inform, but I change my passwords routinely. I would have to update the document each time as well. I don't like the idea of putting passwords in a 'cloud account' either. Maybe the big solar flare will happen first, then it won't really matter.....

 

[qquake2k]

I think I miss Sodmeister the most. His scale builds were unparalleled. And Krusty, but I think I saw him at that giant V2 launch in Australia.
