I spoke to John (Humblegunner) the last two days to see where he was, was he okay, etcetera, and I was absolutely floored to hear how well he's doing!
He left FR to attend Divinity School with the intent to pursue a life of Christianity and live in the Love of Our Lord. He had no internet there, or cell phone access, and devoted his time to becoming closer to Jesus and to God. He mentioned he may even become an ordained Minister.
His parents sadly passed away, but left him a 200 acre cattle ranch and a stack of money, with which he has built a house on the land and purchased a new truck, both of which he is grateful and proud to have.
I got the sense he'd return to FR, but don't expect him to change THAT much. 😂 He'll still be the grouchy old Humblegunner we all know and love. He'd just be doing it with the blessing and love of Jesus, these days. 😊
We discussed organizing a Free Republic shoot, heck, he's got the property for it! I'm wondering about March or April '24.
He sent me some pictures and they are posted, below.

I’ve only been crapped on by HG about one time so far...
I guess I need to up my game.

I thought I read somewhere that he was transitioning, hence the long absence.
Based on that picture of him, the doctors owe him a refund.

Tell him I am fixin’ to get ready to pimp my blog. Actually, the practice of blog authors posting a few words of their material in the (vain) hopes of gaining some hit$, warranted some correctionin the interest of others, though is not a major issue.

Good to hear. I had my differences with him, but who don’t I have differences with these days. I wish him all the best in the world.

A FReeper Shoot at his place would be SOOO swell! Though we might have to rough it a little by camping in tents or something. :-)

"Saul of Tarsus never posted on the internet after his conversion either." EXCELLENT POINT! (He posted on Compuserv)

To: Lazamataz; humblegunner
Thank you so much for this update. I am happy to hear that HG is doing well, and hoping he returns to active posting soon. I agree with an earlier FReeper that the PetZealot posts are pure and simple, blog pimping.
HG: my sincere sympathy on the loss of your parents. Mine both passed in 1997, and it was a challenging time.
Laz: Thanks for the pictures. He’s much better looking than I would have guessed. :)

Notice that the mud is on the tires, but none on the actual body of the truck. A reasonable person can only conclude that it’s spray-on mud!

A man of true integrity. True to himself. Never gave an inch. Always had utmost respect for him.
I suppose he’ll be wanting his old tagline back

He'd just be doing it with the blessing and love of Jesus, these days. 😊 Wonderful news - he's fine, he's the same, he's growing in Christ and he's still his grouchy but lovable self. Thanks for the report Laz.

So what was it? Did time for drunk driving or completed rehab?

Thanks, Laz!
I have really missed our Humblegunner and used to look for his posts every time I logged in because he was so witty and funny. I know some did not “get” his brand of humor, but I loved it.
So happy to read he is doing well! Go Humble!
