Back after too long an absence.

Posted by chopperfan on Wednesday, November 15, 2006 7:14 PM

Well, I finally made it back after being gone entirely too long.

I joined the real world and have cable modem. (I wouldn't have it anyother way now!)

The only down side to all this is that I'll have a lot more time for the hobby I love. The doctor declared me 100% disabled, today.

Now, I ain't asking for pity or sympathy, I brought this on myself. And in the process, I found the Great Physician. Now, I know we're not suppose to discuss these matters on this site. But, I'm not forcing my belief on anyone, just saying how great it makes me feel. And if I have insulted anyone for this I apologise. I just want everyone to know how great it feels to be back.

Thanks for all the warm welcomes. It's great to be back.

As far as any current projects go, I am kinda in limbo until I get my bench set back up. We recently moved and everything is still kinda, for lack of a better descriptor, screwed up around here! Before the move I had started on a 1/48 AMT S-3 Viking being converted to an Aero-Union fire bomber. I'm going to try and complete that as soon as I get everything back in order.

Hey espins? How are things at High Sierra Hobbys? I sure miss going in there. THAT is a hobby shop without any doubts.

Catch y'all later.

yep, HSM is the bomb

Scott got me hooked on the place

Every time I get to Reno, I do my best to slip over there. Even ran into Scott on one of my trips! He's a great guy to meet

Yep. When I lived in Tahoe, I would make a run to Reno every pay day.

Had to take the little lady to the Atlantis buffet and, son of a gun, we would invariably drive right past the little shopping center that housed High Sierra! AND!! No matter how hard I fought it the darn car would turn right into the drive and die!!!! It wouldn't start again until I had gone inside and, at least, looked around.
