RIP
Because I fly I laugh more than other men I look up an see more than they, I know how the clouds feel, What it's like to have the blue in my lap, to look down on birds, to feel freedom in a thing called the stick… who but I can slice between God's billowed legs, and feel then laugh and crash with His step Who else has seen the unclimbed peaks? The rainbow's secret? The real reason birds sing? Because I Fly, I envy no man on earth. — Grover C. Norwood I admired him

Rest easy 583.
"Oh, I've slipped the surly bonds of earth And hovered out of ground effect on semi-rigid blades; Earthward I've auto'ed and met the rising brush of non-paved terrain And done a thousand things you would never care to Skidded and dropped and flared Low in the heat soaked roar. Confined there, I've chased the earthbound traffic And lost the race to insignificant headwinds; Forward and up a little in ground effect I've topped the General's hedge with drooping turns Where never Skyhawk or even Phantom flew. Shaking and pulling collective, I've lumbered The low untresspassed halls of victor airways, Put out my hand and touched a tree." |

Anal bleaching is a form of grooming and it's a grooming and haberdashery forum. He was posting on topic IMO, RIP

I still haven't shot the 20 rounds of mk 262 he sent me as a reward for digging up a picture which mocked EXPcustom and reposting it in the pit. |

But have his weapons to hand:
He knows not when he may need a spear,
Or what menace meet on the road.

Very unexpected... He was a true friend of mine. And talked to him almost everyday. I had talked to him that day. We made plans and talked about building him an AR before shit hit the fan. About a year ago he had a health scare but had said it cleared up and seemed to be well. Some shit had to come up because I saw no signs of anything close to this. His wife has no idea why or how, no signs no note. As of today there are no services planned. Don't think the money is there for his wife to do anything. I will be putting a get together/memorial together and will post here with details for the local central ohio guys.
I will miss you Steve. I hope you have found the peace you were looking for. |
