Sorry for my lengthly absence but between working on Dad's estate (still not finished but getting there), trying to get new hobby workshop equipment moved over and set up plus other personal stuff I've been overwhelmed to say the least. Will try to update pics of workshop soon too. Glad to be back.

Welcome back Kenny, I've missed seeing that avatar in the sidebar. Good to know you're okay.

Thanks guys for the words & thoughts. I'll be glad when I get all this behind us. Back in the 70's when gramps was still around and we got talking about life and things he said one of the biggest problems he has with his longevity was it's hard to keep burying your family & friends, back then it didn't mean that much but it kinda has hit home with me over the past couple years and I'm not close (yet) to his age. Not trying to preach but enjoy everyday your here and the little things really don't mean that much in the end.

Kenny I'm 100% with you on that. At 65 I've experienced my share of loss as well. Years ago I bought a book by Richerd Carlson PhD. Called Don't Sweat the Small Stuff and (it's all small stuff). It was a bit of a cult book at the time but held lot of truth. Richard himself died only a year or two later at 43. There are really only avfew things in life that are truely important and they all revolve around love.

So true, and the odd reminder shouldn't hurt or bother anyone.
