Nothing can really improve on previous Roy threads, but I'm hunting.
Roy, your contributions have become fewer and more measured.
We all understand your arm/tendon/muscle stuff, but we need your bizness here.
I can't believe that I didn't get to climb with you last year, but I understand that Chiloe was more important. (joke)
I'm not giving up.
My place is open in Corrales. Come climb with me.
Thanks for hooking the Banditos up when we came to town.
I can't tell you how much we appreciate it.
I love your threads.
Peace brother,
Bruce

It never ceases to amaze me how, by and large, the taco supports it's own as best we can. Squibbles, squabbles, but when the rubber hits the road we tend to hold together and support each other through life's challenges.
Roy, I cannot express in words what it meant to get your call today. Recent events have me pretty down on myself. To say I was flabbergasted hearing from you is an understatement. I knew who you were when you first identified yourself; I was just dumbfounded.
You are truly a stellar person. Tar, my hat is off to you. Talk to you soon.

Yeh, the man is strong in spirit and heart and putting both into helping organize a Flanders Fundraiser. Hope everyone on the Taco will jump on board.
Lose yourself in the beauty of Joshua Tree National Park this April 2-3 and come celebrate with the heros of ST along with us newbies. It Will be killer. :DD

Bump for Tarbuster,
I'll never forget us freezing our asses bivied at the base of Freestone back in the bad old days. So cold we couldn't sleep, woke up to ice sheets slicing down around us. Chuffed a mind numbing fatty and bailed.
Favorite Tarbuster quote; "10d, technical, 10c, BURLY!"
Hope you're well Roy.

Here's to the MAN!!
Roy, who opened his home and busted out the goods for the Cozmic Bandito reunion tour to RMNP.
The hospitality had us so relaxed that we drove off and left all the good paper beta he hooked us up with!!!
Sure hope I can pull off the JT gig......

A number of years ago I was losing my mind over some health and financial issues and Roy's kindness and calm here on the forum helped me a lot. I will always be grateful for that. Thanks again Roy. You da best!

I'm not sure I ever chimed in on any of the past threads,
but I paid special attention to your threads Tarbuster.
I never had the good fortune to know you in real life,
but your contributions here are foundational pillars
that make this site great. It definitely caught my attention
when I saw new posts from you.

Go to his link kids, there's a book in there." made me feel pretty good. Thanks for taking a look and taking the time to mention it. Hat not withstanding, you're a class guy. BBA

Tarbuster's threads and contributions are highly appreciated. Their absence is respected but not wanted... There's an encyclopedic quality to Tarbuster's knowledge - rich on perspectives, cognitively complex and depth of knowledge. Not easy to live up to in the long run ... ^^^^

A tip of my hat to the nooks and crannies of RMNP that this fella shares. MOAR neversummer madness, more Neversummer slam! more wild basin goodness!
Heck, get out under Copeland east side and head up that buttress right above the lake and share some feedback hey there Roy-boy?
in homage, VF Soln's finest hat is pretty stiff and crisp, although that original hatband lacked a bit in the flair dept.
