WTF have you been?!

[defetis]

So I think everyone has noticed how slow it is on here. I know there's a ton of you I talk to on and off here but pretty much everyone but Rob has been boring and quiet lately. Whats up with that?

Here's what I've been doing.

Still not working. Losing my mind rehabbing the ankle. Not working. Gained like 15 lbs because I can't doing the normal work outs. Drinking too much. Not smoking enough because it has been hot as balls

[GWBowman]

Hate your not able to work. Big difference in getting to stay home and having to stay home. Hope you're back to 100% soon.

That sucks about the ankle, hope you're back up and fully operational soon.

It's been a little quiet, yeah. Too hot for me to smoke much, probably the same for a lot of us. We need a plume thread or something.

Joel, here is hoping for a speedy recovery.

It has been crazy slow and while I visit the bum daily I have missed the site being active. I seriously thought most everyone had found somewhere else to hang. And I imagine that is probably the case for some. I am a bum at heart and hope things pick up soon. What we need is a steady influx of new cigar smokers because if we aren't growing we are dying.

We are still here Joel.

Hoping you can recover soon and get back to work. Sucks not being able to work and being laid up that you can't do much of anything else either!

It has been slow, but like Steve said, we need new blood coming in. I think we aren't the only slow ones though. Partly comes with the season.

Myself? Vacation, moving my daughter out of her apartment while she is out of the country, helping my in-laws move in from across the country, hosting a prior foreign exchange student that we had a couple years ago that is back in The States this month along with a family member of hers, rebuilding my deck, summer wrestling for a couple of my boys, getting ready to move my son off to college... All in addition to normal day-to-day activities that come with being a homeowner and having a large family. That is all this last month. So been kind of busy; but still checking in several times a day.

Like you; hoping things pick up again soon! There are several past frequent posters that haven't been seen around much. We have a great site here with a great core of members, just need to get some more joiners and pick up the pace! I think one of the issues is that many of our members are pretty seasoned, so not many questions or new topics of discussion going on.

Well on the other end of the spectrum, you could be like me and waterboarding yourself for a mile 2 times a week.
I did something stupid and signed up for a traithlon and have been at it 1-2 hours, 6 nights a week, and still trying to crack the swim stroke mysteries.
Still the casual smoker, but have a lot of family stuff going on along with a lot of work.
Just too busy.

I do hope for your recovery though, because I would rather have my current problem than having an essential freedom and necessity like work revoked.
I'm sure most have been there one time or another, but I wish you the best.

I'll also make mention of this site next time I light up at the bar.

Between working 10-16 hour days 6 days a week since we just started harvest and having a family, I have had zero time to do anything involving cigars. Other than trying to keep a 13 month old out of my humi who by the way has an absolute fascination with only my high end stash. I swear I am going to return him to the manufacture

[Indyhp]

I visit almost every day, but just don't see much I feel like posting on lately. Prolly just me.

[WNYTONY]

Hope all goes well with the rehab Joel.
I'm checking in everyday but not too much going on with people out enjoying the summer I guess.

Been playing as much golf as I can and just got done moving my daughter, SIL and granddaughter into their first house

This is a busy time of year for us with birthdays, gatherings, pool visits, etc. summertime
