long absence

[jiujitsubowl]

Well guys, its been a minute haha! I am going to try and be more active on here. Just been super busy as of late and forgot about the forums! Hope to hear from the old ones and the new ones!

Welcome back. You'll notice they've thinned the herd a little bit, but other than that, seems the same as always!

 

[jpmcwjr]

Glad to see you back!

jiujitsubowl:
Nothing much happened while you were away. Well, except for some flame-throwing, name-calling, major and minor fisticuffs, riots of sorts, bannings and threats of bannings, subsequent exits in protest, embitterment, hurt feelings, and ruffled pride. I think that about covers it.
So, how are things with you?

I've been absent the better part of 40 years. Why stop now?

Gary! Welcome back to the forums!
I need a canoe for lake Tahoe, so feel free to ship one on out here

I am too new to have known you before, but welcome back nonetheless. Good to meet you.

So, you make or sell canoes? Cool.

Gary is modest, so he won't boast about it - but he's a big deal in the world of recreational watercraft. Engineer at the top manufacturer of such things in the country, he is.

This thread reminded me of a guy I used to see working on birch bark canoes about 40 yrs ago. His name is HenriVaillancourt.

Welcome back! It's a apt time to check back in with the pipe community. New blends galore, possible new regulations impending, and a brisk conversation afoot, besides the aforementioned chaos and undercurrents as usual.

Nice to hear from everyone! Yes I work for KL Outdoor, the largest kayak supplier in the USA and close in the world. Sold over 400,000 kayaks this year. I handle customer service and packaging.
I look forward to the banter and bustling of the forums again! You guys are great! Going to get more active with my youtube channel again as well. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLojCkvR8e4XOAnncgAkDmA

While you were gone, the best thing happened, jiujitsubowl: I came here. Nice to meet you.

Nice to hear from you again! Thought you might have fallen into Lake Michigan! Time to see some more of your cob adventures?
