Title: Skuzzy
Post by: 1ijac on June 03, 2022, 01:58:59 PM
Has anyone heard how he is doing in retirement?   I hope he is doing well.   He put up with a lot of crap over the years.     :rofl

Cheers,  One-eye

He's living in Ft Worth with the missus and is fully retired. He's outfitted his garage with the necessary elements need to restore a Cobra...don't know if he's finished. My guess is he'll find something else to piddle around with, restoration wise.

<<I bet that dude is a blast at parties>>
Oh yea! I got to know him pretty well during the Grapevine Con years. Definitely a guy who enjoys a cpl of beers and a good time. He bent over backwards helping players with technical problems at the Cons, of which there were many. One of these days, I'll get back out to Big D and hook up with SKuzzy, Coach and the pretty ladies. We're overdue for some Korean BBQ and cold cold beers at Love & War.

Good to hear about Skuzzy.

On another note, Skuzzy used to monitor Airhead's post quite closely back in the day. I heard Airhead passed in June (Mike)
Can anyone confirm this?

Thanks for the confirmation. That's unfortunate.
I thought about him yesterday when I heard of the wild fires near where he lived.

I'm glad I got to meet Mike. He finally gave me my five dollars - and hugged me and gave me a kiss on the cheek. This was when we met at Lazs' place a couple years ago. The next meetup we had, Mike wanted so badly to go but he was not feeling well.

Mike was a good person. He was always positive and fun to be around. I miss him a lot.

Mike/Airhead was awesome. Amazing mind in that guy. Missed his calling; funniest poster to ever grace this or the FW board. I regret I never got to meet him in person.

Doing fine, fellas! Yes, been in MT for 3 years now. Got my first SS check in Aug.  :uhoh Fishing, golfing, and wintering in Texas gulf coast near Corpus Christi in our 5th wheel. Oldest son works at Boeing, youngest just graduated from CMU with biz deg last year, works for Johnson controls.

My wife Laura and I met Mike on the way to SF with my then-16 year oldest son. Met at the cafe below where he lived. As funny in person as he was trolling the boards!

This view never gets old waking up to. Flathead Lake.

Looked at that pic of the family and wondered how fast time flies. I still remember your two little tykes crawling around the CAF hangar when you visited. Glad they are doing so well and you're all happy.

Rip, you ought to stop by my new forum to say hello. There's a few people there that you know, and it's not a flame warriors type of place.

Icecreamonmars.com

If anybody there starts to mention anything about a carpeted garage, you just let me know!

Oh man, like home coming! Xbrit, toad, gg, others.
Good seeing you all survives the Scamdemic. (We both got it, no vax, lasted 24 hours and kicked that junk to the curb with Hydroxycloroqiun)

Will check that out gg, is Lazs still kicking?
I didn't care about carpeted garage comments on my old home I sold, but imagine what they'd say about my new home and man cave colors! LOL!

Title: Re: Skuzzy
Post by: -gg- on September 07, 2022, 08:18:18 PM
I didn't sell it. I just deleted my user account and administer it only under the Caper12 account that I first opened the place with. I created an admin account first and then my user account.

I just got upset with a situation and left.

Technically I could retire next tuesday, but then you have to do this morbid math, which involves trying to guess how long you're going to live so the money won't come out
