Sometimes I don't realize someone has stopped posting until you do google search and come up with a hit on an old thread. Searching for a support on a Cannondale bag and saw some posts by @mkeller234 , and always thought his builds were so practical. I think he started having kids so that probably is limiting his time.

His bikes were immaculate as well. I mean, even to the finest detail immaculate. And a varied enough selection to know that each would suit its' intended purpose tastefully & exquisitely.
edit: I was born in Louisville. Norton Hospital. I should return and pay a visit.... during height of Bluegrass festival time. Will search for dates,....... any Kentuckian help out there?

aka: Mike J.
I imagine that a lot of people are like me in that I can only find time to be active on one or maybe two discussion sites at a time, so I'll just wander away for a month or more. Life happens, and sometimes it happens on a bike.

I suppose some members just grow away from this place. Get tired of it, move on, get busy with other things in life. Etc.
I know it's happening to me, slowly. I still check in, but there are fewer and fewer threads that interest me.
A lot of repeat threads, as has been said. And not as many bikes of interest to me than there were before, it seems.
But that's OK. So it goes.

Ahh yes, Colonel Angus.
It's always nice to see his shiny face poke out from Shady Thicket...
I haven't seen him since he went down South.

Dang. My ears were burning and I logged in to see this thread in my notifications. Nice to read the kind words. I'm no longer working 100 hours a week (well, not year round anyhow). No longer an active partner in my restaurant, but proud of what I helped build. Kid number two is on the way. The last two years have been something else; been punched a few times (literally and figuratively), but I'm here. I have some actual time now to ride and wrench so looking forward to that and I'll be posting from time to time. All the best to you!
Ha! And I even knew better.

How about @ColonelJLloyd? He opened a restaurant--no surprise to early followers of the C&V lunch thread. I miss his informed posts, impeccable bikes, and fine taste in food & drink. His buddy @-holiday76 don't come 'round much either.
Also @snarkypup? Anyone remember her and that epic tour of Western Ireland? So enthusiastic and then suddenly was gone to Australia never to be heard from again.
+1 to bigbossman.

He was always a good target shooter and hunter, so he is doing more of that these days. He periodically works at reducing the turkey population in the area and also hunts wild pigs in California's central Coast Range from time to time. On a related note, makes a killer pulled pork

You can take me off the list, I'm still among the breathing. Just fighting a neck/nerve issue of my own over the past few years(Auto accident)
It's good to see some of the old names pop up.
Any idea what ever happened to Chipcom?
