Hey there Steve, and everyone else for that matter. Nice to see this thread here. 

I myself have been quite absent from the forums for far too long. Like others, life simply dealt out other priorities that required my attention. This had the unfortunate effect of inducing an overall lethargy toward modeling and participating here on the forums. Although I pop in every now and then I've missed being active and communicating steadily with some of you. Namely you Steve and I'm sorry for that. I still have plenty of distractions to deal with but, I'm looking to get back on here more regularly. Joining Bish's Airfix GB should help me get back into the groove. Unfortunately, I do not have the time to cover the whole of the forums nor comment on all the activity here. Yet, I will do my best.

If I may suggest. Do not lament too much on those who have left the forums for whatever number of reasons. But rather, embrace and encourage those that are here and those that are new to the forum. for me, the FSM forums have been more about quality rather than quantity.

You folks here, past and present, have been the absolute linch pin in the quality of my modeling abilities and experience. I never forget that.

Happy New Year to you all.

Hey Joe! It is great to hear from you. I have seen you around from time to time and I know how busy you are. So, no worries.

I wholeheartedly agree. For a while I was encouraged by all the new people joining. Unfortunately, many of those same people do not post again. I wish they would. It is truly unfortunate because they can bring new life and new perspective to the forum. 

Again, it is great to hear from you and to hear your perspective.

Fermis still makes rare appearances. I think his avatar is now Gollum.

 

From time to time!

Avatar is me in a T-6.

Had a stupid busy year, this year. Kicked off the beginning of the year having to completely remodel my parents "extra house" (my bro and his family lived there 10 years, and pretty much destroyed it...long story and tons of drama). Then my work season started. When things slowed down, I did a bunch of work around the house....then work picked up again, and the phone kept ringing. I also got back into flying, getting instrument and multi-engine current, as well as flying a few "Wings of Mercy" missions. Currently working towards the single engine commercial add-on...just to open some more doors in the aviation job market. Still doing some sporatic jobs, as well as remodeling my own house.

 Haven't had much bench time, but I have finished a few this year. Even less free time for jackin around on the forums.

I'm where I have always been....on Monster Island.....it's hard for a 450 ft tall GRL to hide....

 

Why hello again my radioactive friend- haven't seen you since about what two-three raids on Tokyo???

Really, good to see you- I thought you left the forum on the first big migration of members.

Good to see you again too Femis, you don't look much like Gollum though...

Figured you were busy with work, I can understand with all that you'd be out for awhile.

Pffftttt... Facebook....

Never had interests in opening a Facebook account.

I'll go you one more...I'm actively not interested.

I second it GM.

      Here is my opinion of

Facebook does have it's recipes, kooks and pet tricks but it does have an audience. Our Hodaka Motorcycle forum slowed down to a point of a few contacts a week. After going to the Facebook equivilent you can have a dozen contacts a day on what you want to solve or talk about. Or you can set there and let the old ways kill your forums while new ways are how it's going to be. Like refusing to use a new-fangled computor, you'll just get left behind. Spell check even, no photo host required. Time to move on or be left behind. Sorry, but this forum probably should become a facebook forum before it dies. I hate the goofies but I just ignore them. Actually, just stay on your page and known pages and you'll do fine. Ah, just another challenge in life!  Max 

It is a truth, Max. I'm not on it myself, but the variety of groups is astounding on that platform. 

I undersand new fangled ways, that's why Sears, K-Mart, desk telephone, beepers Etc are the the trash heap of history, but there has got to be a better way than Facebook. You just can't follow anything on it.

Steve forgot to mention 8 track tapes.

Oh yeah. Also cassete tapes and soon...CDs

Lol.

Lately I have gotten into cooking recipies that take hours to prepare like Beef  Bourguignon (French beef stew cooked in a bottle of Burgundy wine).

How do you get stew beef into a wine bottle?

 

Now thats funny !! 

The answer is obvious, I use a very big bottle. 

Not sure how many people here will remember me. It appears this is the first time I've been on in four years. My personal life for lack of a better term was chaotic for the past few years. Between a very sick parent and putting in fifty five or more hours at work my personal life was destroyed. I'll admit that I was in a dark place for a couple years but dug myself out of the hole.

Now things seem to have settled down and I'm trying to get back into the hobby.

Welcome back Greysnake.  We are glad your checked in.  Many of us know what your going through. 

I’m ”new” here, but actually kind of a lost sheep making its way back to the flock. 

I used to participate in this FSM forum a bit back in...was it 2002 or 2003? Was just an on and off modeler then  

Life’s challenges at that time swung me into a whirlwind, and it became work, work and more work. 

I’m back and hope to contribute towards this fine community we have here .  Oh, and of course, get back into this fine hobby of ours!

Yes indeed, das Feldmarshal also had some great one liners about someone posting a question and him answering as in "yes" or "no" without any further explanation as to the answer leaving the OP in limbo. 

 

Remember Zuiho?

 Can’t say I do.

Wife died 10 years ago, and it slowed me down.  Girl friend doesn't like sharing me with the plastic.  Lots of old kits to build.  Lots in various states of construction.  A few of my posts didn't seem to draw any reaction, so I quit posting much.  Stop by occasionally to see what is going on.

You weren't missing much..,

Yes. I mean no, you weren't.

Maybe it's my imagination but I am seeing folks posting whom I have not seen before, or not in a long time. Either way, it is sure good to see, even if it's in my own mind. 

I'm enjoying this for the same reason; it's a bit of nostalgia and it's good to know that some who don't currently post are still out there looking in on the Forum.
