You never called me back, lol to let me know you got it fixed. How random is that, an electronics installer guy pulls over to help this lone diesel guy on the side of the road and he knows exactly what to do. I couldnt rep you over the phone so i just did.

 

thanks Kris, but i did try to call you, you must have never gotten a missed call. sorry buddy, now i feel bad.

 

thanks for the rep points guys......

 

I am on here, just not as frequently as I had been. Summertime I get crazy busy selling groceries to all your favorite eateries down in Panama City, and Destin. I love vacation season, Y'all go out to eat often, and make sure to tip your waitress'.

Chris and I talk about every day, our families have taken a bunch of trips to the lake together. Y'all remember that pic of my truck toting the big grill behind the camper? Well who do think I was going to feed? HIM, the boy likes steaks and bbq. He has a new 5er to tote behind his truck, but I will let him tell you about it.

We're both loading up to go back up to the lake next week (no net access at the lake) I will be there from WED July 2 till Sunday July 13, and Chris and his family will be there a good bit of that time too.

 

I won't repeat what the other Pete said, but like him, I'm sure proud to be associated with a great bunch of guys like you all... and many others who are elsewhere in FTE. I am very grateful for the condolences and prayers... they are worth more than you can imagine.

We're all holding our own right now fairly well, and are all pulling together very closely in the family. It's been tough and stressful, but our faith is stronger tahn ever, as are our convistions about supporting one another through life's realities.

My daughter just finished 8 covers today... one more and we'll be caught up for this week... so we are getting things rolling again. I'm having to learn how to balance things, but the progress is steady. I typically get about one evening a week to work on the web site, which is going to be our entire family site (wife's crafts and gift ideas, son's woodturning business, daughter's artistry offerings, the filter covers, and a separate page where I can accumulate my own meager version of what Guzzle has done with his PSD pages, but not nearly as extensive as his to say the least). I'm hoping the web pages for the covers will be ready to fly within a month, perhaps sooner.

Turns out that it's going to be about 3 more weeks before we find out what my Dad's prognosis, but it is beginning to sound like 6-9 months unless something unexpectedly good or bad happens to shift that range either way. We had a great Father's Day with him a couple of weeks ago, and his spirits are "up", but he's still very weak from the 5 days/week radiation treatments over the past 5 weeks.

Come mid-July, I'll be working 10 consecutive 7-12's on a plant shutdown (2 hours from home) covering the installation and startup on a major project I've been working on for about a year. During that time, I may be able to actually spend more time in here in the evenings because I can't work on covers or house-projects while I'm living in the hotel. until then, I'll try to peek in more regularly, but I do seem to be typically short of enough time to read many threads or post very much right now.

I'll keep you guys posted, though.

 

Glad you had a chance to stop in and say hello.

 

Pete our prayers are with your Father, wish him all the best , and we all pray for a miracle that he will recover from all of it.
and my thoughts are with you Pete, if i can do anything just let me know ....

 

Thanks, Pete.

I'll tell you for sure, if this particular cancer goes away, there is no doubt it will be a miracle, and I know for a fact that they can and do happen.

 

keeping my fingers crossed......

If its Riverdale, then me, you, and Chris will get together for dinner so you wont have to spend all your down time in a hotel room.

My families thoughts and prayers are with you.

 

My thoughts are with you too Pete. Unfortunatly, I know exactly what you are going through. I wish your family all the best.

 

Pete I wish you the best of luck and will be praying for you and your whole family!

 

We'll all say a prayer for your family Pete, were all ONE....

 

You guys are great. Thanks so much.

Brandon... it surely is Riverdale, so we can definitely plan on a dinner one night in prattville. The wife and kids are also going to come down to meet me for dinner one night, too. As we get closer, we can finalize the plans more definitely.
