The best my gaming buddies and I can come up with is he sent us on one last quest.

No dice. Story hit the news finally. They searched the water and found nothing too. So we're down to either he jumped a fence onto private property, he got picked up/left somehow, or he really did just say "fuck it" and leave and start over. Start over from what, I'm not sure. Dude had no...

Do your dishes. It ain't hard.

Nah, I will totally make it myself. Hell, I built the chainsaw mill myself too. And people told me I could bring it somewhere and get it milled too, but that's not the point...the point of the whole operation was to turn a tree into heirloom furniture for my kids, with my own hands. This gives...

Dude, thank you for this. This is exactly what I was hoping for. I really don't wanna buy a jointer and a planer... especially ones that aren't wide enough to do the fucking work. I don't own a router, but it's on the list of tools I need, so why the fuck would I not do this? Absolutely...

So, with all that in mind, I have all this rough cut lumber. Most of it is significantly wider than the normal 12-13inch planers on the market....hell, that's why I needed the 36" chainsaw bar. How do I go about evening this shit out? Do I need a jointer first, or can I just buy a thickness...

That pic is from last year. I haven't taken new pics yet....but everything I stick the moisture meter into says it's dry. There is a significant amount of cupping on a few pieces. Haven't had time to dig into the stacks quite yet with everything that's been going on the last couple of weeks...

He obviously was trying to cut up some wood. Who the fuck cuts down wood?

Figured I'd start by seeing if I could sell some of the less desirable pieces, which will help finance the planer to do the other pieces and see what we get. Also, I have 2 absolutely massive Ash trees in the back (bigger than the walnut was) who have unfortunately succumb to the borer. I was...

Also, Chinesium is not off the table.

Well, either this firewood moisture meter I bought is straight Chinesium, or this walnut is dry.

Pool doesn't get drained all winter. At that point, it was still early in the spring. Nowadays, it's straight up pond. Liner's fucked, it's mostly drained, about 9 winter's worth of leaves in there. Let's just say after i got divorced and was barely hanging on to the house, the last thing I...

I gotta admit, wasn't expecting Lumi to be on this side of the time travel argument.

Oh, completely...my GF already feels like this just means she really did see him on the way home from work the other day. I told her she should probably keep that story between us.

The unfortunate part is that there is a gate and a sign about CCTV cameras on the trail leading to the private property. Yeah, it's no big deal for a suicide to hop a fence, who cares. But it's a big deal for a search party to do it. Also, when we were out there Sunday, the sheriff was talking...

The dad got back to me. That team of 4 cadaver dogs gridded out and searched the entire park and found nothing. So, canceled the hike tomorrow. No sense in bushwhacking thru that if the dogs can't find anything.

Story goes that the previous occupants of the house (2 owners ago) spent so much time with the couple across the street in their pool that they decided to just build their own. I gotta wonder how much crossing the street pissed them off. This thing is fucking enormous, and for little reason...

Turns out, I am in fact a liar. 12' is the dimension of the deep end. Looks like about 8'3" at the lowest point. 31,430 gallons. Still though, 5k to get rid of it ain't bad.

Yep, 3'6", I think the deep end is 8-9', but then there's a "cone" that's 13'6" under the diving board. Thing is such a fucking pain in the ass. The one year it was open, 55 gallons of chlorine to clear the water. The cover was broken when we moved in and would be 10k to replace, needs a new...

I can post the blueprints if you want.

I've got a 20'x40' in ground, 13' deep on the deep end for a diving board. How much to fill that fucker in?

I don't have any answers to those questions. Dunno where they searched, asked the family, got no reply. Gonna call my contact with the sheriff and see if he can narrow some stuff down for me before I head down there and waste my time double checking it. Hes probably in the river....fits his MO...

Hopefully we've got it wrapped up by then. Although, a couple of days with dogs, the family doing the best they can all week, and some hardcore motherfuckers going at it hard on the weekend....if we haven't found him by Monday, I'm gonna go ahead and say he's in the river. I've got ex-military...

Looks like no news on the cadaver dogs, guess they're going back out tomorrow. Story keeps fucking changing on the possible sighting, tired of listening to 3rd hand bullshit, I'm discounting it completely now. Me and half a dozen dudes going out and walking the bush Saturday morning unless...

The car, as far as I know, is still at the park. 4 dogs out there right at this moment. They haven't found anything yet. Which, if it was a boxed in area, I'd say was a bad sign. But, it's got the river, so there's always the chance he just waded out into that. Or, he faked his own death...

JFC, GF just called and said she swore our buddy was following her home from work, driving a car that's not his. Goddamned stress is getting to people!

Yeah, the dad told me no one was allowed to go with the search party, not even law enforcement. Nothing yet, but it's only been 6ish hours, and that's a lotta ground for 4 dogs. They'll eliminate a good chunk of territory to make the weekend easier though.

Alright, well, got some more info from the parents, pretty satisfied I know why now. No point in explaining it here, guy doesn't deserve to have everyone know what was too much for him to handle for the rest of eternity. But at least I'm satisfied that I have some answers, and if we can find him...

The dad finally got back to me. They're bringing in 4 cadaver dogs tomorrow, so hopefully it'll all be over soon.

She's 21. But, this is the story with her. I told her Saturday at like 11pm what happened. She got 3 hours of sleep and worked 6pm to 6am that day. She walked in the door at 630am Sunday, I was in the kitchen getting ready and she asked "when are we going?" "Soon as I get my shit together."...

Yeah, I'd bring my dog, but she's 12, and I'd be burying her next! Stairs are a major challenge for her, she can sit out the 1600 acre search and enjoy her retirement

Yeah, I know where she said on the map. I just don't know how leading they were with the questioning. I don't know about 90%, but 70% for sure. That's why I'm focusing on the north, and specifically the east, because that's the wooded area. OnX lets me do shit like this, which I think is gonna...

No no, I'm not begrudging your western theory at all. You're looking at it from a different way than I am, and that's why I thought it was interesting. I mean, shit, clearly I haven't found him yet, so my hunch is not right, so we gotta move on from that at some point. And yes, his parents have...

Thanks for that link, I passed it along to the family. It is unfortunate that it's probably exactly what we're looking at. I would love nothing more than this dude to show up Saturday and go "hey guys, I went primitive camping all week, forgot to tell you," but that's not what happened. You...

I had assumed stuff like this existed, and I also assume the family is going this route, but I haven't heard anything from them yet. Sheriff also said they were going to start foot searches yesterday, but I didn't get an update on that either. I will definitely check on both before I cover...

So, there's a couple things I've got going for me here....one known, and one unconfirmed. His car is parked at the north lot, away from the visitor center and the majority of the traffic. I think we can safely conclude he wouldnt hike the whole park just to end it. So I think we only need to...

Actually, the cops are blessing this whole thing. They told the family to do exactly what I'm planning to do, the only difference is his family is 50-60 year old, outta shape men, and my group is a bunch of 30-40 year old, athletic caffeine and nicotine addicts. They don't have the resources to...

Nah man, there's no debbie downer shit here. This is real life and reality at the moment. Debbie downer shit was Sunday when we realized he'd been out there for at least 24h and no one had seen him, and we found no sign of him. Once we stopped pretending this was a hiking trip that had gone...

Nah, it's not suspicious because of that. I am paraphrasing the story. We play Gloomhaven at noon on Saturday. He's been there every week for 2 years. Never missed a day, never didn't call to say he'd be late or anything like that. 100% reliable dude. When he wasn't there at 1230, I sent...

Fuck, I don't know where to make this thread. I don't even know what kinda responses I'm gonna get. I figured this was the best place because of this situation. I alluded to this in the jimmy rustling thread, but I figured I need a more appropriate place. One of my friends turned off his...
