I’m really not sure if anyone will read this, or if anyone remembers me. But her, I’ve been away for many a sad, long year. Moving, divorces, death’s in the family, fires, COVID, life got so out of control, I forgot completely about what matters most in life! Anyway, I have returned and hope to become an active part of our community once again. (harder to do, as I remember a time when there were only triple digit members here. I’m getting long in the tooth and cranky.

Welcome back. Life certainly has a way of changing our direction and priorities. Perhaps you will find some encouragement from those of us here who can relate with you and what you have been through. It will be good to see the projects you make and read your blog posts. Take care.

Welcome back… it has been a long year and I have shared many of the same lifetime events. I spent 40 out of the last 52 weeks dealing with “life” and COVID. Time to get on… I spent yesterday in the shop!

Lew, always a pleasure, my friend! Wibbly Wobbly timey wimey made sure we met again. You’ve managed to stay quite active I see, and I am looking over years of your old material to get caught up!
Life is a bear sometimes, I’m just coming off a family suicide, which will ultimately lead to a move from Oregon to Iowa… sigh can’t win for losing, sometimes.
Thanks Doug, and you’re right! life is full of curve balls that no one ever really sees coming. My solace is the wife and kids, and naturally, making sawdust. It’s been one thing right after the other, but I certainly came out stronger on the other side.
We have to keep the rookies in line! heh…
