I miss Mac too. I could always count on him to call me every 2-3 months just to check on me and chew the fat.

We'd talk for an hour or two and then I wouldn't hear from him again until either I called him or he called me.

I stopped hearing from him about the same time everyone else did. He is a fountain of knowledge about anything you would bring up. Even if you brought up a project you were getting ready to work on around the house, he'd always have a few tips to do it better or make it easier.

I hope he's doing well. I'd love to see him rejoin our ranks.
