    I was starting to think you needed a wellness check too, @caliking
    Much appreciated 🙏🏾. This year has been quite the rollercoaster, but that’s a story for another time. I check in here every now and then.

    Glad to hear Ron is OK. I’d love to donate to a care package if anyone is putting it together.

    I called today and his voicemail no longer answers either.  It is an old school one so not sure if it stops answering when it is full.

    I will see if I can find his neighbors phone number.  I suspect Sheriff won’t check again because I have no confirmation he was released from the hospital.  Been checking obituaries and don’t see anything.

    Do we know what hospital?

    I have a pretty solid guess.  Maybe I can call and ask?

    He is not currently listed as a patient in the hospital that was my guess.  I may try again to see if I can learn more tomorrow.

    That’s what I was thinking as well. 

    Get well soon Ron.

    Ron also strikes me as a sitting at a real desk on a desktop computer to browse the forum. Doubt he has it on his cell phone otherwise I'm sure he would have pinged by now.

    I have been calling and sending emails.  Nada.  Also no obituary, so that is good.  When I get a moment I will see if I can track down his neighbors number.

    I think it's a ploy to drive up prices on Rutland! I'm about Ron's age and a couple years ago I had the floor sneak up on me. I'm not saying Ron did, but I broke my hip. They put you in rehab for a month while it heals. Wishing you well Ron.
    Guess I'll stock up on gaskets when you get back.

    Unfortunately, I have not been able to reach him via phone or email.  Last wellness check by Officer said he was in hospital, but being released.  When I called hospital he was no longer a patient, but HIPAA limits what anyone would tell me.

    I will try his neighbor tomorrow and see if I can reach them.

    Thanks for continuing to try to reach him, man, I know we all appreciate your efforts.
