Just In Case You're Wondering About "our Carl"....

[Village Idiot]

Carl has reached me on Facebook (must be from his phone, or whatever) to let me know that they are home, safe and sound..........but still no computer!!! Just thought that you'd all want to know. NO COMPUTER?? THAT'S UNCIVILIZED.........!!

Thanks for the update.

Thanks for the update.
Many of us were wondering what had become of him and becoming quite concerned.

Glad everything is ok with him and family.

Was really beginning to worry about the boy. Yes no Computer what is he stuck in 1968?????

 

[triumph david]

Isn't his comp. broke?

 

[Village Idiot]

I guess so, as he told me, "no computer yet". I'll be giving him a call, soon, as it looks like my Florida visit next Feb-April is beginning to look very shaky. Elderly relatives may put the "kibosh" on my plans. Time will tell: Jim

Jim, reviving this to see how Carl is doing as we have not heard anything for a while.

 

[keystiger]

I had contact with him.....a....gosh been a couple months ago.... before Daytona Bike Week---went by his house..had lunch.
Said he would be around more----but----havent heard from him since honestly.

 

[Village Idiot]

I spoke with him last weekend, to wish him a belated "happy birthday"; I was a week late as a good friend of mine passed away unexpectedly and that occupied my thoughts; he was 85 but seemed in decent health....you never know. I thought that Carl would be back online by now, as I believe he's got a computer, but he was going to the VA again about the right eye.....still giving him grief and they will probably be draining it and refilling it with some type of oil again, as the eye still isn't making enough fluid pressure on its own yet. He's fine otherwise and I'll be calling him again and get some updates. He's still riding and that good stuff..............

Thanks for the update Jim

 

[shanered6]

thats good to hear .........i was wondering what the old fart was up to

 

[triumph david]

Glad he is still riding that will be good for him, and glad he is doing good.

 

[Village Idiot]

Shane, I can't wait to tell him that you called him and "old fart"..........! Then again, he and I are the same age, basically, so I guess I can say: "I resemble that remark!!"
"Village Idiots" don't grow old, we just fall apart gracefully, bit by bit: Jim

 

[Village Idiot]

Hello, all: Had a quick "speak" with Carl this morning and he says that he can see his fingers, albeit a bit fuzzy, with his arm extended. They may have to put a bit more oil in they eye to increase the pressure, but time will tell for that. He's back on the old "no heavy lifting and no bending over too far for a couple of weeks. He says that he's coming back to us, just as soon as he gets the computer "sorted".

Good stuff. Kinda miss the 'old fart.' Thanks for the update Jim.

 

[shanered6]

that is good news !!! .... the "old farts" are the back bone of TT ........ i know they waffle on a bit but hay we all have our down sides

 

[Village Idiot]

Just as long as our "downsides" aren't our butts laying in the street!!
The "village idiot" has "been there, done that": Jim

 

[triumph david]

Wish i was young enough not to be a old fart!
