oliver2-44 9,743 #1 Posted October 13 I haven't seen member @pacer on here for almost a year. He and I messaged a few times over the years. When I try to send him a message, it says member not available? Anyone heard from him? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sad yes, but it's not always a worst case scenario. I did that on another forum a few years ago. I was making statements about certain things I believed to be true concerning a certain virus, which went against the prevailing dogma at the time but have all been borne out as correct since, and was called many things like "public health hazard" and "murderer" and "scum", so I just stopped going there. About three years ago I signed in to PM a member there because I was going to visit the state park he worked at and wanted his opinion of the things to not miss. I got flooded with messages from site admins who saw my last sign-in date change, mostly asking where I went and expressing relief I was not dead since that disappearance was rather sudden.

My message box is 70% full for example. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pacer 3,169 #9 Posted November 6 OK Oliver, and all you other guys .... I'm still kicking (kinda amazing at 85yrs old) And yeah I guess I should have at least mentioned why I wasnt active here, .... but I didnt. I guess my main reason was down here in N La there just are no Horses, and parts were/are getting more and more scarce. Craig List is practically useless with mostly businesses, I guess Facebook has took most of their traffic, I hate that, Im not that enthused with facebook, but I do follow it regularly. In the last year or so I have only seen 2 or 3 Horses and they were too far away and one was way over priced, and were the 'C' versions, and I am primarily a 'D' lover. I currently still have 2 D180's that I use pretty regular, though my main grass cutter is .... gasp! a John Deere X360. Thats one of the dealer types, not the big box version (power steering!!) I miss this forum, really a great bunch of guys, with monitors keeping it clean and on the main topic -- HORSES!! I am back now because one of my 180's is in dire need of attention of some clean up, a paint job and new seat -- and, the reason I'm here is to get some decals! I dont have any idea why the "member not available" is coming up??? 'pacer' (Bill Pace) 3 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oliver2-44 9,743 #10 Posted November 6 Good to hear from you! Sadly I agree most of the few horses up for sale in Texas have been way over priced. I got lucky and picked up a C-101-8 non runner but fairly solid and all there last month for $80. Needs a lot of love and probable an engine overhaul. There is a D on Marketplace outside of Houston , but that a long haul for either one of us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
