Aka Dave. Always enjoyed his off beat comments and general commentary. Plus I've met him in real life and he's a nice dude.

Dave? You still here buddy?

Remembered I had his full name from email communication so I stalked him, I mean looked him up on Facebook and sent him a message. I'll report back.

Edit: That was fast. Pinchy is alive and well. Just busy and limited on time. Hope he'll be back again one day.

Check on your friends everyone!

Dave is alive and well.

I showed him this thread and he said that he'll chime in.

Thank you all for your concern, it truly warms my heart that this community would be concerned and even reach out privately to check up on me. (Scotty, you rock. jimbob, thanks for telling me about this thread).

I can confirm that all is well, I am physically fine (other than typical old-guy aches and pains). I have been very busy with house projects, a new job, rental properties, and a million other things. I have drifted away from GRM a bit, spending more time mindlessly scrolling Ticky Tocky.

I promise to add some updates on the house projects, and the Saab when I get it in the garage, and the issues with the boat, and the Elantra deal with Hyundai and...well I'll tell you about it when I find some time.
