Any one know what is up with Dusty?

Post by reible »

Haven't seen any posts coming from him in a few weeks now, tried to PM him but no response yet after a couple of days.

Just a wellness check.

AIUI his absence is NOT due to a trip to a hospital. I KNOW NOTHING ELSE other than it appears to have been premeditated.

Thanks for the expressions of concern. I am well. Probably feeling better than I have since my surgery (many months ago). I have been on a 2000+ mile shake out cruise of the travel trailer that I have been helping to restore. It was (at one time long ago) mine but now belongs to my oldest daughter. We formed a family caravan and went to my oldest grand daughters home in New Braunfels, TX for a family Christmas party.

The shake down cruise revealed some work that still needs to be done but that will take days rather than months/years to complete. We started this restoration before my first cardiac episode which slowed the process considerably.

And a very nice looking job on the trailer... :) I have done a number of restorations on different things and can appreciate just how much work is indicated here.
I have investigated doing such work for some $$$$ but my size and stiff joints have usually steered me away. Kind of bad claustrophobia doesn't help... :rolleyes:
