Posts: 1350		Has anyone heard from Kurt since the N. Cal. wildfires? Perhaps he's just on an extended fishing trip, but it's not like him to ignore a PM for (6) days. :-)

Posts: 1776		Oh my. I was run out of my home for more than a month (mid-post here on Troutnut) a few years ago. When I came back half my neighbors had burned out. Wishing you luck and most of all safety, Kurt.

Just checked my email contacts and, oddly, I don't find him.

Posts: 2733		Six days is nothing! I've sent him PM's that he does not read for weeks.

Here is what he wrote to me back in late August in response to a PM;

Sorry for getting back so late! First time I've signed in this month and had no idea your PMs were there.

Posts: 2608		His probably up near Idaho fishing...He's originally from up that way...Has a brother, nephew, etc up there.

He gets quiet when he's up there fishing...Little internet connection.

Hope all is well!

Posts: 3233		Yeah, he's mentioned to me that he disappears at times when the fishing gets hot. Pun intended.

Posts: 2608		Maybe he's just tired of hearing Spence drone on end-less-ly...He needed a respite. :)

Posts: 1350		Or, perhaps he simply got tired of being asked for an opinion when I get seriously stumped. :-)

Posts: 1350		Received the following message from Kurt this morning:

Sorry for not responding sooner! Everything is fine with me, it's just been a very busy Fall! I'll be around more this Winter to have fun with bugs and I hope all is well with you also.

Best, Kurt

Posts: 2604		Geez guys, sorry... I'm humbled to know there was so much concern... This thread was up and down before I ever saw it. The fishing In ID and MT was pretty busy in late September... It's the only excuse I have (pretty good one, though). Rest assured that if anything happened to me, somebody will let you know.

Posts: 2604		Thanks, Jason!

Also rest assured that I never shirked my duties as editor. With limited access to the internet in the wilds of ID/MT, I was checking content when I could instead of posting, usually without logging in as well. Other than a few infomercials to take care of, saw no problems - so thought I didn't need to. Lesson learned... :)

Posts: 3233		Hey Kurt, every now and then I check to see if I'm closing on you. After the lull I came within about 50 posts, but you'll likely pull away now that you're back and school is in session for me. Dunno if that's worse for me or for you??? :) But welcome back!!
