That's almost two comments for every follower!
As for Steem Power, I actually just passed up one of my Steemit heroes, @andrarchy! That's what consistency (and not powering down) can bring.
I'm feeling quite happy and thankful to be a part of this community. Happy to be alive and engaged with so many of you in valuable conversations and friendships. Life is good.
I'll be camping this weekend with the family (bringing the new kayak for sure), so I won't be on Steemit much. I'll bring my laptop just in case my witness node sends me an alert, but it's been running smoothly lately, so hopefully that won't be needed.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
Thank you for being part of this blog and conversation! I really do appreciate you all.

That's an amazing achievement. I just doscovered this post via twitter on "we love steemit" resteem. I do remember you from the first day I joined this platform back in June when it was still very "cosy". I might be one of those members you don't show much interest in and we don't vote for each other much or at all but I just wanted to let you know that I appreciate and value your presence. I'm sure you are ready for the next few thousands. 🍭

Congratulations on the milestone. The achievement must feel quite good (enjoy the camping and kayaking).
I was reading your post about paying off your house earlier today and it made me realize I should go back through some of your months-old posts because it looks like there is some good material there (obviously given your milestone today). I did that with some of @kus-knee's posts and it was great for getting a better idea of the perspective he's writing from.

Hey Luke.. First off congrats. I always knew you'd do well on here... you know I've mentioned you before... I recently wrote about Lots of followers doesn't always mean you get a lot of upvotes. Can you have a peek and comment? Obviously some people will get more upvotes and commenters than others. But I do notice a trend. See if I'm even close with my analysis?
If you can't do it before you leave for camping, no worries. Just remember when you get back. Enjoy your trip!

4,000 followers. That is an absolutely incredible milestone. It will probably take me a year or so to reach that number. It is weird to think that 4,000 people were willing to stop and hit the follow button as they thought you were worth following and I'm glad that I was one of those people.
Also Congratulations on 8000 comments which is equally crazy and I hope you have a great time camping this weekend @lukestokes

Thanks! It has taken me well over a year to get 4k followers and (I hope) much of them are actually real people. :) Based on the amount of comments and fun conversations I get to have, I think enough of them are real to make it fun for me.

A weekend without much Steemit ? I think it's wise, and it's good to let the mobile rest for a while ! I should also give it a try this weekend but my body starts itching if I don't go on steemit regularly ;) Congratulations on your achievement and I think your number of comments is definitely impressive and I respect people who take their time and answer comments, no matter if it's a whale or a minnow. Enjoy your weekend - Cheers !

Ah, gotcha. Sorry, got confused as I was answering your reply from my replies page and missed the thread. Sorry about that. We plan to as it won't be a scout campout like this one, but just us and another family we're close friends with.

I have not been able to associate myself with the word fun lately as i have been busy on steemit writing my funny letters to Facebook. Presently in episode 7.

If it's not fun, don't do it. If you're doing something you don't enjoy, ask yourself why? If you don't like the answer, do something different.

Thanks so much. :) Much like the benefits of meditation or a consistent yoga practice, I've found something here that works really well for me. I enjoy the outlet, the relationships, and the conversations.
