On one of my road trips we hung out at his house And he showed me the countryside nearby So we have each other’s phone #s When I reached out to him he did text me back Saying he was good, appreciated the concern, and would call me later After not hearing from him in a week I left him a vm And sent him a text, Saying every one missed him and were worried But I wouldn’t pry. I have many friends on the board , some I have met Some not But do feel a comaradarie with all the truck guys here I have called around to other members to see if Anyone has a closer relationship with him, to make sure he is ok. It’s human nature, to care Hopefully (maybe) Liz , Josh , Leon ?? Or someone knows him personally It is definitely worrisome that he is not posting I hope for the best outcome |

Re: Special K
It sounds like he's safe. Maybe he just doesn't want to talk to anyone right now. I've been there. Sometimes things happen and it takes time to get past it.

Re: Special K
One can only speculate about Tim's absence. But his Mom is around 90 and still lives alone so if she is ill I know he, good man that he is, will be right by her side with no distractions. I hope she is fine but with age and virus concerns it's a good possibility. I wish them well.

Re: Special K
I talked to him a few weeks ago and he said he was working for a historic preservation company. Maybe they are keeping him busy. He was also getting his house ready to sell.

Re: Special K
Good to hear and I may not be the only one that would throw in for an extended warranty or Apple Care for Tims next 'puter . If only to avoid the stress of wondering where he's at!
Glad to hear he's ok and gonna make a grand entrance soon (I hope). I was getting soooo close to catching his post count too!
