This is my own opinion, but to me anyone trying hard to start a business does not go MIA. If you had a client base you are trying to expand why would you want to raise doubt about how serious you are. Considering the amount of time that has passed, I would think he's done doing this type of work and wants nothing more to do with air guns. Of less of course he has had a major mental meltdown and has no control over his actions. I have tried several times to start different kinds of businesses. It's not easy or for the faint of heart. You also can not depend on any monies derived from your new business to live on. It has to be put right back into the business either to pay off notes or new equipment. If you don't, you are doomed. I have not read this somewhere, I've lived it. If for the first 4-5 years you don't work 25 hours a day and put everything into your venture, your chance at success is pretty slim. Lee

Last I heard Timmy was having some severe personal problems that have been keeping him "out of touch". Not quite sure where he is now or what he's doing but I do say a prayer for him and his family each night. I'm hoping one of these days he'll pop up on GTA and re-establish his connection.

He definately left a shine behind his thoughts and posts here at the GTA. Whatever his issues, I hope he overcomes and rises above! Certainly do miss the honest and humble posts and pics showing his learning curves in his stock biz. Always checked his posts for new eye candy! We all miss ya Tim ands wish you the best!

I, personally, think it's best to kind of let things sit for a while and grant Tim the space. One thing I haven't cared for (and it wasn't here but another forum) was folks airing what might be considered Tim's dirty laundry. If I was having a hard time and came back, only to find some not-so-flattering things said about me, it might just make me want to turn on off the computer. We're all human.
Heck, even me! (Do ya think???)

I do know that Timmy is a proud and hard working man !
He has been a man of his word, and has been very generous to his friends !
Whatever has happened in his life that has separated him from us, is an unhappy fork in the road. I do miss his comedy and ability to make fun of himself, as well as his experiences and adventures !
I PRAY each night that Timmy and his family are healthy and well, and that someday I/we will hear from him again !
Timmy may be down and out right now, but I PRAY he will overcome this and return to us a stronger and happier man !
I will keep PRAYING for YOU little buddy !!!!! Get well, WE ALL LOVE YOU !!!!!

O.K. RedFeather how the heck did you get a picture of me,is my web cam on??? An as for Timmy,sadly I never had a chance to read his post's, but he sure sounded to be an interesting an funny fellow AG crank an highly missed on here.I too hope he come's back so I may enjoy his posting an see his stock work.

Your loss, my gain, baby! :D Timmie's good people. Also makes one fine stock. I second the prayers given above for him and his.

I think RedFeather hit the nail on the head! When it's the right time for Tim to come home, he will. We all enjoyed his company and friendship when he was here so let him have his space to do his thing whether it's just disconnecting for a while or sorting out personal matters! The most important thing is, we are all here for him and support him. Tim is a great guy and I'm sure we all want what is best for him!
