IanHenry Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 I haven't seen any posts from our antipodean friend Digger for quite a while. I know people come and go from the forum but he was quite prolific so I was just wondering if he was alright. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brad1 Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 He stated quite a long time ago that he was going to stop visiting the site. It was intentional. He was kind of bored here, I think. Ive known Rob for some time. Sorry to see him leave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveFord Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Perhaps he'll get tired of wrestling Salties and will come back. Same with Charlie Brown, I miss his posts, he was always up to something interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notes_Norton Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 I've had contact with him via private e-mail. He is doing well, but doesn't care to participate here just now. He's very busy doing other things. Notes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveFord Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Who, FZ Fan? Nah, the grass is going into the rolling papers, ha, ha. He's doing good and is up to six Martins. I tried to talk him out of selling his Lucille but nope. Eventually he'll rediscover the need to reconnect with his inner wah wah pedal.

Retired Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Rob is doing fine. Still infatuated with getting fire wood. We talk back and fort almost every day. He has some lower back pain and a sore throat that won't go away so I've been praying for him on that. Other than that, His wife Gael, won second place on a painting she did in an Art show so he was very excited about that. I left a while back too because the computer was giving me eye problems. Spending too much time on it. I miss all you guys so maybe I'll have to check in a little more often. The Epiphone Lounge went pretty dead and I don't know as much about guitars as some of you but I can check in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digger Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 (edited) Hi Folks, Butch told me about this thread so I thought I’d come and stick my nose in. Thanks to all who were wondering how I am. Apart from getting old and having a long list of aches and pains, I’m fine thanks. As Butch said we talk ever day and are great mates. Notes and I are mates too and talk regularly ever since we met up last year...good people. Jim, Pinch also drop in and say G'day and I welcome their contact, others too from time to time. My email is gumfarm@gmail.com and if you want to catch up then I welcome hearing from you. I dropped out of a number of forums pretty much at the same time as I’ve spent too many hours sitting in front of this darn computer. Some of you may know that we are in the depths of a deep drought down here and I simply can’t keep up with all the dead things that need cutting out. Also as I get older my capacity for hard works gets less and less. However I still spend most of my time with a chainsaw in my hands or sitting on a tractor..hey, it’s my life! I do miss you guys but after 11 1/2 years I really have done the forum thing and am backing out. Besides, us old farts need to make room for the next mob coming through.

jdgm Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Great to hear from you once again Dig and I hope to email you sometime soon, Know what you mean about "have done the forum thing". Best wishes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Scales Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Yep, I'm pretty much done with the Gibson Forum. I suspect it's just that you get bored with such things after a while, but it feels like it's been dying a slow and steady death and the people I found interesting have all but gone or rarely post. I must be down 80%+ on posting versus a few years ago. The new format just sped up the death rattles...some say they like it but many many people just stopped around that time without fanfare which speaks volumes. No hard feelings but, it was a great place to hang out back when! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notes_Norton Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 I think Anti-Social Media has put a damper on most forums that I visit. I call it anti-social media because from what I've seen "it's all about ME" 🙂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncle fester Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Well, being a relative newbie, I'm sorry to see the reduced flow in traffic (learned a lot, and appreciate the group of folks with a shared interest... along with some some pretty cool / entertaining stories) - but do understand... things ebb and flow. I am routing for folks to become more engaged, but yeah not sure I predict that though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinch Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Me and Rob have both been busy lately. I was gonna e-mail him today. Last time we "spoke" was a couple weeks ago. He's doing fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digger Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 I’m heading into hospital for surgery on Monday actually. I’ve been having trouble with my throat and voice box for about 10 weeks, affecting my voice badly They’re going in to see what the cause is and depending on what they find, removing it. I may have to be on a beer diet for sometime after that...Grin~ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Natural Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Well, best of luck on Monday. I hope everything goes well. Hopefully the problem won't be anything major, and you can still go on that beer diet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digger Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Thanks guys! Hoping it won’t be much but can’t leave things like they are so it’s a necessary thing to do. I’ll let you know how it goes. Off to Melbourne this morning. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G Mac Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Hey, Digger! I also hope that your throat issues amount to nothing and that you enjoy your beer therapy! Cheers! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
