And like a lot of other people, I have thoroughly enjoyed the experience. On a side note. I would do a lot of horrible things to get my hands on a '69 hugger orange and white striped Camaro with hidden headlights. Sadly by the time I am able to own something like that, they will probably be banned or fuel unaffordable. Don't worry, I'll make sure my fellow leftists never fuck with muscle cars Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know all of the details, but they think he may have had a heart attack sometime on either Monday or Tuesday. After not hearing from him via email since Monday afternoon I sent a FB message to one of his neighbors this morning asking if they could stop by to check on him. When I got a reply asking what my phone number was I knew it wasn't going to be good. RIP my friend Real shitty to hear John, my condolences to everyone. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That's awesome! You wanna know something crazy? I could type faster than that on a flip phone by the time I joined HCS, 25-39 years olds right now were the first generation of kids to all have cell phones in middle school. I never once imagined another user might not know how to type! Right. My generation will be the last to know life with out cell phones,. Yours will be the last to know without smart phones. Phones are such a huge part of everyone's life now, hard to imagine how we ever lived without them. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I wouldn't be surprised if that's part of the reason we have so much trouble communicating, I've been starting to think the partisan divide has a lot more to do with language than an irreconcilable philosophical divide. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

May have something to do with the spike in Alzheimer's and dementia. You are no longer using your brain to remember anything. I used to know 20 or so phone numbers by.memory. Don't even know my wife's number by memory anymore. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Schmidt 6 Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Wow, crazy news. RIP Rob. I post the odd time, but have been lurking ever since I stumbled across Rob’s “High Mileage Physicos” message board in 2001 when I was a teenager. Then became a member of HCS is about 2002 when it launched. What a ride it has been and what an interesting and eclectic cast of characters Rob brought together. Donny Huizenga, ICEMAN (when he was still a conservative), Mach Z, the kid that built that raft (and sunk, lol) and more Rob, I hope you are now at peace with your Jane Cheers and Godspeed Caleb 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
