I had the pleasure of speaking with Mike on the phone yesterday, we had a real nice long talk and it was nice to hear he is doing good. We talked a little bit about the site too, Mike told me he was upset over all the "hate" in many threads here on FABO and wished that members could get along better. There has been a lot of putting people down, bad language, arguing, even putting down peoples other hobbies or interests (I have noticed this too). Mike didn't say he was upset with any one person, just really sad to see the site in such despair lately. :sad5:

Mike told me, "Keith, I am a simple man who lives a simple life, and its doing simple things that make this man relax and unwind"

Mike will be back on FABO, might be a week, maybe more but he will be back when he is ready. I know he already misses what goes on here, like many of us, this site is part of our daily routine. Mike said he has a lot to keep him busy up on the hill, especially with the seasons starting to change. He wants to get some time in fishing so he can stock up his freezer, also has to get Victoria dolled up for a car show that benefits children that he is really looking forward to.

Mike and Treva, I hope I didn't step on any toes posting this, just wanted to share a little about how Mike has been feeling. We all miss him and its only been a few days. I hope others will read this thread and try to be a little nicer and friendly. The other day I read a comment that really upset me in a thread, I wanted to fire back and post my feelings...but I thought about Mike and decided to leave it be and walk away, wasn't worth it.

Here are some pics I took this morning for you Mike, I was in a hurry but took a moment to slow down and enjoy a "simple" moment, hope they put a smile on your face :thumblef:
