Has Anybody Seen RobbieTunes?

I realized that I haven't seen anything from @RobbieTunes for quite a while. Maybe I'm just not looking in the same threads, but as prolific as he is...

I saw him in the flesh back in February, not since. he had changed jobs, though. Maybe that's affected his play time.

I just sold him some parts, and we communicated about that approximately a month ago. Hopefully he's out riding.

I was PMing with him about the Kestrel frame I nabbed, and he stopped responding about the same time I noticed he wasn't posting here in general. I figured life intervened, and he got busy.

I think he might travel for work. Somebody say something bad about an Ironman, that'll get him in here!

Not to steal Robbie's thunder, but has anyone heard from HamboneSlim? I enjoyed his "Where'd you ride today" posts of rural Pennsylvania.

Got an e-mail from him the other day, he'll be at the Storming of Thunder Ridge in a few weeks. New job assignment may be curtailing his posting activity. Plus...life.

He's probably tracking down a pair of Marianne Berglund's old Texas Metros panties. He seems to have a thing for Centurion female squad attire.

@RobbieTunes, you act like a rust picker Navy squid, Chesty Puller was a girl, and you wear women's underwear.

There, that should get him to Prairie Dog....

Oh, and one more thing, Ironman bicycles will be sold at Walmart and from Bike's Direct, shortly.
