Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.....

.....to all my friends and aquaintenances on the Shopsmith forum.
I hope this finds you all well and making sawdust.
As for myself, I've been lurking, but the tools are quiet. I am blessed that I have been employed for a full year since 2006, but 55+ hour weeks don't exactly leave time for hobbies. I have cut my commute time from 1 1/2 hours to 10 minutes, but have been temporarily separated from my tools. And I am ending a 10 year relationship, but am gaining a piece of mind that I sorely need.
So, in taking stock as the year ends, I think I am ahead. Probably the first time in a long time.
There will be more gains, there will be more pain, and there will definitely be more sawdust. Such is the rhythm of life.
Again, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you.
