Default Where's OCBen?

I don't think I've seen a post from him for a while.....

Has he been arrested? Caught dropping off some blonde Lebanese in his Mini Cooper?

Or is he lying in a high dependency unit somewhere, machines attached to various parts of his body and electronics beep-beeping away, fretting that his car's gathering dust?

I think we ought to be told.

And whaddabout Bluejay? Where ARE all you guys?

Ben can't find his favorite pair of socks. During all the remodeling of his new home, they probably got buried somewhere behind some cabinets. Now he's busy tearing his new house apart to locate them...

But, to be honest, he's alive and kicking. Just check out the OT forum. He's over there most of the time.

Hey, Draxa, old bean!
How's your Labratapirdor doing? Ever figure out which end of that thing to feed?

Regarding OCBen---Do a search-- that's usually his response.
I noticed his absence too. I just assumed that he and MMD had decided to meet and end their debates once and for all. Maybe, Porsches head on at 100 yards, or something.
I'm sure other clever Rennlisters would have ideas about "Where's Waldo", I mean, "Where's Bill", I mean, "Where's Ben"?
And what would happen if Ben and MMD met--critical mass? Fission? Fusion?

Shhhhhhhh! leave well enough alone.

His last hurtful and misleading post about the aerodynamics of checking your spoiler deployment with a coathanger and duct tape was soooooo blatently wrong; especially for a rocket scientist.

Hopefully, he's hanging out _exclusively_ in the "Members Only" areas; putting his money where his mouth is: where membership is required . "Freeloaders" seemed to bother him too much.

So nice to hear from you BlueJay.

Yep, we like it like that. Ratchets up the last few days a bit and reminds us that some sports are better played outside.

We have another little tournament starting here on Thursday; whacking golf ***** around Scotland. You wait and see what kind of weather THAT place throws at you!

Actually - "users" I don't consider "freeloaders", except when they just post to stir the pot. Most folks on Rennlist, Member or not - have something productive to add. Many have questions. Many just read and rarely post. Some just enjoy the community for what it is...

And some don't.

When you do enjoy it for what it is - let me know. You can e-mail me at admin@rennlist.com

Have a nice evening,

John D.

I was actually on the I-5 earlier around 2:45 heading south. Got off on Ball Road near Disneyland to square some details with my cabinet installer.

Been super busy these days as things are quickly coming to a head in the remodeling schedule. Everything's on a critical timeline now. One slip of one of my contractors and everybody slips. Hope to have the cabinets and appliances installed by mid August.
