Bummer...well, not bummer that you're back, but bummer that life was a bit rough on you.

Wasn't it Willie Nelson that said...

"do you know why divorce is so expenssive?
Because it's WORTH it!"

welcome back
Bobby

Not that I have had to go through it but sometimes it`s cheaper to keep her.

Perhaps, but other times there's more important things than money.

Kurt, congratulations on your pending freedom. Going through all that is no fun, but it will get better once everything shakes out. Stay strong.

Well none of this mess was any of my idea or doing but yes the 54 is still and will be mine, gift from dad untouchable, and suprisingly she had got me many things for so when Achilles lets me work on it again there will be many new things going on with it.

Good luck with your new life, you may find that what you thought you wanted is not really what you needed. I found that when I was in that situation some decades ago I poured myself into projects that I thought that I no longer had an interest in...here's hoping you still have enough $$$ to keep up with your new-found enthusiasm. Good luck...
