OT: This Place Jams And I Am Very Grateful

[Longrobbdiego]

Yeah, thank you to everyone who put(s) in the time and effort to make this thing happen, including all of the members. Seems like some real good people around here. I appreciate all your contributions. Especially, while I'm laying/sitting here recovering from my little surgery.

Cheers to Fleet......and Rolling Thunder!
Thanks for creating a great space!
Bolt up brothers!

A long time for sure...my family is great and I hope your family is doing well also. Thanks for the well wishes...

You mentioned OIP, where is he now? For some reason I missed the story of why/how he left? I miss that grumpy s.o.b and talking music with him.

Q...IS THAT YOU?? Best thing I have seen all morning! Damn Fleet, I'm with Q, when I read that Covid took out Aces, my heart sank! Oh shit! I guess I am sort of glad it my have just been the Casino. I sincerely hope he is well. Aces makes me think of the old P3 gang: SDFan (I know you're here Paul), Mad Dog, VB, Texas, etc...(I know I am forgetting a few...Ace's buddy and his melted fork?).

Yes, Ute...It's me. It is true: I never really left. Just lurk. I couldn't bring myself to completely let go of the Chargers, much as I wanted to after their exit from San Diego. But I, too, exited San Diego, as you know, and live up here is the Boise area (love it up here). So I guess you can say I've become a bit more forgiving of their move.

I may post a bit more; who knows. I've never been as well versed as the more knowledgeable Bolt fans; always more the trouble maker. But I think age (I'm a grandfather of 3 now) has mellowed me out (but just a bit).

P.S. Ben was Aces 'melted fork' friend. Great guy. Sadly, I thought I heard he passed away a few years back. Fleet might be able to confirm that.

The name Ben rings a bell. I think he had a screen name that would probably ring the bell louder. I want to say Soonerbolt? Maybe something that has to do with the sooners?

No, Ben was not a board member (I don't believe). In fact, IIRC, Aces tried to get him to sign up a few times but he never succeeded. SoonerBolt's name is Dean.

I see a comeback, lol. Good to see it. Need some old members back. I was gonna ask how you liked Idaho but you answered that.

I haven't lived in SD since 1996 and the move to LA struck me as well as I lost some fire for the team,... Especially Dean and the dopes of the city counsel so it took me a good year or SO to get fired up again. Had i lived there, I'd have been a lot more pissed.

Still don't like they are in LA and won't buy a shirt that says Los Angelas or LA on it.

Now I have the Raiders in my backyard

I think come draft time we may do a jersey giveaway. Rugger has been really wanting to give back to you guys in some way. As you know he is one of my cherished mods for years now. And Rugby compatriot.

Looking at possibly doing a giveaway of our 1st rounders jersey. Unless its a fatty. Which is probably will be. lol If thats the case we will ust do a jersey of choice.

Or have that option anyways. You pick. A good 100$ jersey. Its been a while since we gave back. I stopped because Covid knocked me into the Quest For Fire age. lol

Keep your eyes open for this come draft time. Should be a lot of fun.

Michigan guy then? lol That was the old P3 crowd i think. I only went one time and met many of our OG guys. Good times. Im trying to track down Aces. I was a punk to him in fantasy baseball many years ago. I probably pushed him away. That game makes me mental. lol

Same. I look for San Diego gear on eBay.

A mini-comeback maybe.

The 'Michigan guy' was named, appropriately, MichFan. Nice guy, but also not Aces' friend. And yes, SDfan, ViejoBolt, MadDog, Field, Aces, Ben, Jim (Aces' other friend that drove down from OC for the games), Powerslave, Ute, Gush (RIP), Maverick, Panama, JustSomeBoltsFan, NCfan, TXBolt...those were just a few of the P3 regulars back in the day.

I think i hung out with the ESPN crowd that came to the forum. Those were the days man.
