Default Kaptain K

Well it's been Kuite a while now.

After several PM's exchanged with members, I thought I might send out a public thread just in kase Kaptain K or relatives of Kaptain K is still reading BAUT. That way they kan chastize me for talking about him behind his back.

Ok, bad pun.

Anyway, if you're out there buddy...

As many may have noticed, Kaptain K hasn't been posting in quite a while and with his health, there's been concern.

One personal visit to his home and one note left on the door and at least four phone calls have all gone unanswered.
Which is about as far as I'm willing to go without being labeled a stalker.

Have an appointment with "Dan" from the Oasis tomorrow to see if we can locate his Brother who plays in a band there and perhaps find more information on Kaptain K's whereabouts.

Because he owes me two dollars and I cannot let this debt go unpaid.

I'll have to own up to being a stalker accomplice, then, as I set the bug in Neverfly to check out KK's place.

Hope he's ok. Thanks to Neverfly for taking the time and effort to see about a fellow long-time BAUT member.

Actually it's Ironic.
One of my plumbing customers is Joe Henna.
He lives out there quite nearby.

Please let us know if he is ok, when you find out, and tell him we are thinking about him too.

*he could be on vacation*

It freaked me out reading your OP, because I wrote this short story where the government outlaws the letter "C", and...

Does this mean you actually left your computer for a little while? Then you wouldn't have been posting at BAUT!!!! That must have been quite a dillema for you!

Heh

Well, I´m inclined to suppose that if anything really serious had happened he would have returned your message. So, lets hope for the best.

Well, not really the case.
Dan P. is of no relation to Kapt. K. He's just the only lead I have right now.

As every day that passes, it is more worrying BD.

I hope you get somewhere with this Neverfly and don't give up.

This Dan guy, can you write him a letter? He might reply that way.

Default Kaptain K's situation

I'm Kaptain K's brother, Paul, and he asked me to log on, "as him," to let everyone know that he is going to be okay; he's been in the hospital since September 7th battling complications from diabetes plus a fever that ranged as high as 107º. He is slowly recovering and wanted everyone to know that this has been "another hospital visit I didn't see coming!" Anyone with well wishes may direct them to me, Paul, at pklemme@txgas.com and I'll pass them along. Don't worry, Kaptain K will return!!!

He's right over there, slowly walking down the hall.

Oh, and best wishes for a speedy recovery to the Cap'n.
