Pass on to him I'd still pay to end up on his Ping list.
Pick a date when the weather is nice and I'll ride down for the party.

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.
Can’t find a farm dog that’ll put up with him?
I’ll help cook. Jessica will too.
You forgot to put “Read more at lazwouldhitit.blogspot.com...” at the end.
Glad you talked to him, glad he’s ok, nice if he really has come into a nice inheritance - I hope that’s all true and accurate and HG is loving life and being at peace. But I ain’t betting anybody’s farm that the Divinity School and being a good Christian is truth. Give our best and warmest regards to the grouchy SOB.
I hope you are well my friend. Prayers up.
Awesome
Good to hear
I had The Wit and Widom of Humblegunner down as one of the world’s shortest books. That may have to change.
Please see 104.
Please pass my best wishes on to that cranky old goat.

I would occasionally try to top his posts but thats impossible.
Thanks for giving us the update. Where ‘bouts is this place? (Do not disclose without prior authorization.) I am a little north but can revive my wanting to get to a FReeper shoot. That would be cool.
Humblegunner left the echo chamber and you are trying to egg him into posting here again.
He probably decided that it was not good for him.
Not a dummy that guy.
So, He’s a crackpot but, God can deal with such.
I’m a crackpot too…I just don’t mind blogs.
He looks EXACTLY how I pictured him in my head. God bless his little ol’ heart. In a good way y’all, not in the Southern way.
I’m down with a range day if y’all are anywhere near North Carolina.
Make sure you keep that in the blog section... And why not post the whole thing right here...
Hope you are having fun humble.
(added your name because I STILL will never say things behind your back. I say them right to your face and < bleep> 'em if they can't take a joke.)
What part of the country does he live in? Don’t need to be real specific; just a general area.
Sorry to hear about Humblegunner’s parents, but otherwise wonderful news.
And if the location of the proposed shoot is not much more than a day’s drive from Dallas, I’d love an invitation.
