Anyone know how Joey_V is?

in The Clubhouse
The thread about tonyb got me to wondering about a few others, Joey included, and a check of his wall shows last active May 20.
I know he's probably busier than a one-armed paper hanger and probably has very little time for audio or this place, but I hope he's OK. Anyone speak to him on FB or other social media?
So, are you willing to put forth a little effort or are you happy sitting in your skeptical poo pile?

    I've been wondering too.
    Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

    I hope he and his family are well. He was on the front line and I commend him for his dedication.

    Right. Did that in June, but he hasn't logged in since May.

    Okay.

    Hello, I would like the number for Joey underscore V.

    We don’t have a Joey underscore V listed.

    Are you sure?

    Yes.

    Thank you.

    Actually, I was wondering how much Covid-19 has affected him. His last posts were that it wasn’t rampant in his area, but I suspect that has changed.

    I’m sure he hasn’t slept in the past 4 weeks with how Texas is right now.

    Once this is over, he’ll have a Bugatti that he calls his beater and a G6 loaded with B&W speakers.
    Where’s the KABOOM?!?! There’s supposed to be an Earth shattering KABOOM!!!

    He has been active on Facebook (liking posts) but from what I gather, they are slammed at the hospital.

    That's quite an unusual last name.

    Thx all, got several PMs also.

    So as for me, for some reason, vanilla locked me out for a while, my password no longer worked, so after a while, I gave up, because the email linked to my vanilla account is an ancient hotmail account that I havent used since college in 2004.

    Finally was able to figure out how to change the password just tonight.

    With regards to work, I would say pretty busy is an understatement. The critical nature of patients have seemed to have lessened, but the numbers are higher. I think the mask mandate in Texas have helped in the recent weeks as I have noted a "breather" in volume so to speak.

    With regards to the audio aspect, I have a new preamplifier coming in 36 hours, just completed the transaction on audiogon a couple days ago. I'm probably done for the year from the audio purchase perspective. Wife didn't kill me yet so that's a positive. Haha

    Cool. Welcome back. Vanilla has given a few of us the same problem. Hope the hospital work continues to ease up. Enjoy the new gear.

    Thx guys, finishing up a shift right now.
    1 more night shift then I'm off (my usual 3 nights for the month).
    In addition to my wife... my 6yo Emma texts me at work nowadays, makes it harder to focus on work, would rather be home.
    In other news, very excited for the new to me preamp. Hopefully it will be end state for a while. It arrives Thursday.

    When I read "Joey" in the thread title, I thought maybe it was that kangaroo, but then I remembered his name was "Skippy".

    Unfortunately, Skippy passed away after being stung by a toxic peach wasp during filming..

    ......or was it from a venmous gopher ?
    Radioactive snail ?
    Heck, one of the 10,000 dangerous critters down there got good ol' Skippy.
