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

**FleetsidePaul** · 03-05-2021, 04:56 AM

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.

**GOPAPA** · 03-05-2021, 08:00 AM

I too,,, sure hope all is good with ya Tim.. Come back when your feeling up to it and know that we miss your knowledge and humor and all rest of the bs...

**Boog** · 03-05-2021, 10:59 AM

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.

Usually if one of the Administrators or Moderators are going to take a leave of absence they will post in the staff only area. Nothing there.

I am also concerned about her or another a member of his family.
Just have to wait and see I guess....

Funny how you can have more concern for someone you've never more than some of the people you see every day.

I too am not one to pry or be nosy. Just hearing that "all's well" is enough.

Till then Im picturing a beach in Bora Bora, a drink with an umbrella and a guy from MD looking out of place while trying to figure out why his computer crashed again

.

**DeadheadNM** · 03-05-2021, 06:00 PM

Subscribed - figured he'd have surfaced by now. Hope all well Tim.

**3757chevy** · 03-05-2021, 08:23 PM

Truck... huh?.... What Truck? .... I can see how someone might forget about his Truck Buddies.

Hopefully

I'm sure he appreciates the comment LOL

LT7A · 03-07-2021, 06:43 AM

It's good to be missed, good to be cared about. I hope all is well.

Jack_71C10 · 03-10-2021, 10:25 PM

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.

Thanks for the info. I hope he comes back soon..

Tom · 03-11-2021, 04:32 PM

Meh, he can stay away if he keeps sending coconut pics.

Jack_71C10 · 03-22-2021, 01:33 PM

I texted Tim yesterday. He is having computer issues. He'll be back as soon as its straightened out.

**72 tigger** · 03-22-2021, 09:33 PM

We’re going to have to throw a “welcome back party!”

'63GENIII · 03-22-2021, 11:37 PM

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!

**Ol Blue K20** · 03-23-2021, 08:26 AM

Party?! I'm ready...Come back soon Tim.....

**GOPAPA** · 03-23-2021, 08:55 AM

I too am glad Tim is only having computer problems,, he is going to have to work over time answering all the questions to him that has built up..

**Jeff's bowtie's** · 03-23-2021, 09:54 AM

Just got of the phone with Tim!! He’s alive and well and actually was using a manual backhoe 😂 (shoveling dirt) he said his computer should be up and running by the weekend!! I told him he was very much missed!!
