wahoonc hasn't been on Bikeforums since mid-Feb, and I'm hoping he's all right. I appreciated his posts.
@wahoonc ... if you're lurking out there, give us a hoy to let us know you're OK.

Still around, life has just gotten in the way. Long list of woes
Ageing parents and in-laws we are having to help take care of them. They are all in their 80's and not as independent as they once were. My wife was hurt at work over a year ago (torn rotator cuff) that took two surgeries and a long bout of physical therapy, still not sure where that is going. My parents were in a car accident back in May, they are doing fine but they had to make some lifestyle changes. Then the clowns at work did a work force reduction, but didn't bother to reduce the work load.
So more travel and longer work weeks. Retirement is looking better and better, if it ever gets here.
I have several threads on email notification so I sort of keep up with things.

Sorry to hear about all the "woes" ... life does that sometimes. And it seems to all come at once. 
But I am glad you're still around ... at least lurking.

We have chatted a bit in the past, and as I recall you come to Boston on occasion; IIRC your son lives here. Just before Machka started this thread, about one day prior I noted a previous post by you and wondered where you was. You are among those subscribers a I always read when I encounter them.
Best wishes,
Jim

In the right lane
Aaron, sorry to hear about all this. Sometimes it's hard to keep a good attitude. It seems like everything is falling apart (don't ask how I know all this )
But somewhere in there hopefully you can develop a little equanimity. If not, maybe the occasional relaxing bike ride.
