Hi there guys! Thought i would chime in and say hello. It's been a while since I posted anything. Heck, it's been a while since I built anything!! Medical issues has a way of sucking the very life out of ya. It don't need to be your own medical issue, either, just someone who means everything to you. Sometimes the road back to everything being all right can be a long row to hoe. But you know what the sage says, "Always hoe to the end of the row." So that's where I have been. I just had a particularly long row to hoe.
So, I'm setting up a new work bench and I got plans to get back to my modeling and build something. I can't wait to see what I get up to [:-bouncy]
This reminds me of a very old song. It was an old song when it was recorded on a cylinder record back around 1905-1909. My dad once had a collection of cylinder records and cylinder record players and when I was left alone in the house, I would sneak into my dad's room and play some of the old recordings. I was so fasinated by that old technology and the sound, it was like a time machine. I don't recall the name of who recorded this or who the artist was, but here's the words (written here the way it sounded)
Now I'm getting old an' feeble an' cannot work no more.
Dat busted bladed hoe I've laid to rest.
O'l masters an' ol' minstrels, dey sleepin' side by side,
deir spirits now are roamin' wit da blessed.
Strangest change around dee place now, dee darkie's dey all gone.
To another year I'm singing in da pink.
An' dee only friend dat's leff here is dat good ol' dowg 'o mine,
an' da little ol' log cabin in da lane.
Dee chimblys falling down,
an' da roof's all caved in,
lets in da sun shine an' da rain.
But dee angels watches over me
when I lays down to sleep,
in my little ol' log cabin in da lane.
Appropriate pic of one of me ol' models I made.
Well, there ya go. Just wanted to say I was still around and interested. I'll post stuff as there is stuff to post. It's good to see familiar names still posting here. I missed you guys.
Back to the new bench now.
