It's been a long, long time
Posted by Michael VB on Tuesday, February 25, 2020 5:02 PM

It's been years since I participated here under a couple of different names.

Just thought I would drop in and see how the forum is.

Still chugging along as usual.  If you don't mind, what were some of the other names you used?

I was "airbrush4you" for quite a while and then went by, "GreenThumb" for a while.

I got into trouble back in the day and to my shame I was banned from FSM forum because of my stupid posts.

Thanks guys but I'm not back as I haven't done any modeling in years.

For the last seven years I have been restoring, honing and shaving with straight razors. I have over 40 now. Smile

Thanks Geezer. I couldn't remember the name of that forum as my old computer died and I lost all my links.

Hi GT! Glad to hear from you again!Toast

There's still a few of us "Old Timers" around. I'm in the "Very Old Timers" group with 77 years of building under my belt. Started in "46" (6 years old).

Stay safe.

Four more years of work then we are moving 2500 miles away to spend our golden years in beautiful east Tennessee.

Oh,Lookout!

           Fishing for Bass is an addiction for sure.You will be on the boat when you should be in the nice warm house. You should always be informed about the fish. Soo, Make sure to take pictures to bore your family with-Lol,Lol! T.B.   P.S.I am originally from Arkansas, so I know all about what fishing does to you.
