I was just recently thinking about some members who's names I don't clearly recall, they were just here regular. I kind of come and go at times depending on what life is tossing our way at the time but I do try to keep most stuff read. I am kind of active on maybe 80 to 100 groups of one kind or the other, a dozen of which I manage. Most of them are antique tractor or farming related, some are woodworking, some are related to the shoe repair trade and leather working etc. Several I operate are genealogy related and trying to keep up good contact with widely scattered geographically family branches. My family tree has 3,000 people in it. It get pretty hard to keep up with names sometimes. Just last week I learned that a guy I had been internet friends with for many years had passed a couple of years ago. We were the kind of friends that sometimes talked often then would get quiet for a year or so then start back up. I went looking for him and found that his family had converted his website to a memorial. :( In most cases I don't hear about those that pass, they just stop posting. I got on the internet about 1994 and some of these folks have been internet friends since back then. That's about 26 years...

I will turn 80 at the end of July. So, am I bankrupt? Hope not but I have withdrawn a lot of my life's capital.

I employ a man that is 90 plus years young. He did stop skiing two years ago, but took up snowmobiling. Fast snowmobiling! Carry on...you're not dead yet!
