Default Where's Purdy?

Hey, any of you guys here from Purdy? I noticed he's not been on for a bit. He always has good balanced wisdom to share from experience.

i appreciate Purdy's real world field tested advice.. i have learned much from his wisdom that he offers here on the barn. his info is not usually quoted out of books or from doing searches, but from personal experiences. i hope all is well also ....

Seems like I heard that also, someone had been nasty towards him on FB and he decided to lay low a while. I miss his wisdom also hope he returns.

Well I also have appreciated Purdy's advice and wisdom. He has been very helpful to me learning about Simmons carburetors and much more. I hope he gets the piece of mind he needs and comes back soon.
Thank you Purdy!

Illigitimi Non Carborundum! If anyone thinks the people here are bad, Try getting into politics. Most of politics is totally non technical, it's wholesale character assassination!
This is a sandbox by comparison. But it's a shame when some of our best and most experienced people are driven out by a few misspoken words. Come on Back Purdy! You're always welcome!

While I'm interested in his posts and have benefited from them, you need to remember that this cuts both ways.

I received a "nasty" comment from him in the past and left the "barn" for awhile to cool off. We are all way too human and after awhile I just figured that I'll stay positive and give others the benefit of thinking that they are just trying to help.

Yes, quite true. He sent me a nasty message as well and thought he was
insulting another person.
