Title: Buddy Check
Post by: James2 on June 07, 2024, 06:20:48 AM
Hello, been a while since I checked in. Life has been real hectic for us now for about 4yr. Many of you may remember our oldest son passed (suicide) in 2020 and there has been many collateral problems that followed. There has been good as well, character growth, family/friends closeness, etc. I wrote and published a book about the experience and of course I'm still building model cars. I have a Jimmy Spencer Grand National car to share here. Being men's mental health month, I thought I'd do what they call a buddy check, something I do quite often in the real world.

Hope you all are well...

 :) Well, I am still a buddy, but I have faded in and out of late.

Life happens and we do the best we can. 

The 10 tells me you are as good as ever.

Great to hear from you.  Prayers.

I'M still a buddy. Not doing much building due to illness that caused a loss of coordination amongst other problems. Getting better tho and starting back into the hobby slowly. Wishing you well.  Rett

Still chugging along. Sometimes I feel like a couple plugs are not firing, but other than that getting along pretty well for a seasoned citizen. Building is sort of in hiatus until I get off my lazy posterior and get my work area cleaned up so I can get in there. Maybe I'll call the American Pickers to see if they will haul off a bunch of this junk. :-[
