Actually that was more like two years ago.lol I need to finish this truck.lol Anyway for a home and hobby builder its a nice machine. Are there better tigs machine out there? Yes. But for a home builder I love this little easy to setup and start running beads on steel, stainless, or aluminum machine. So the answer to your question is yes I'm still in love with my new girlfriend.lol

Man I have not touched that truck in a while. I've been very busy with my family duties lately. I will get back to it soon hopefully.

Need some help, maybe we can all come over and knock out the list so you can get back to being "the truck whisperer"

thump16 · 07-30-2013, 11:25 AM

Well after that little incident at my place of work I've really just slowed down and started putting in more family time. I'm also finishing up some remodeling after that I will jump back on the truck.

Yeah, yeah, yeah laugh all you want its good therapy.lol

dubie · 07-30-2013, 12:02 PM

good for you man. Family time is something you can never get back so spend as much time as you need bud. After all, building these machines is nothing but a hobby or bad habit. It'll always be there when you have time to get back to it. Take care of you and yours first!

Man I thought all my forum buddies read about this. It happened on 6/7/13 and I posted a thread about the event. Here a link to the thread if you want to read about it. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=583584

Yeah I do work in IT but in a college Library and we had a nutcase come on campus and killed some people and shot at me along with 8 other people. By the way I did not get shot but how I did not get hit is also amazing.

**Dan in Pasadena** · 07-30-2013, 01:03 PM

Bam,

I was gonna post a teaser soon but then I realized the issue probably was related to the shooting.

We all like your work but what makes it special and interesting to us is that your photos are good and your personality comes through in your words. Take your time and enjoy EVERY moment. You ACTUALLY "dodged a bullet" - or many bullets. Smell the roses dude, you DEFINITELY deserve to!

Its all good. I'm breathing and thats the most important thing. But as you can see I'm really have not been thinking about the truck or the 55 Sedan lately. But I have been enjoying life and feeling blessed. Now back to trucks.lol

Thanks buddy I really appreciate that.

thump16 · 07-30-2013, 09:06 PM

Sorry Kabwe, my friends went out of town 2 weeks ago and I had a crash course on watching/taming their not so friendly dogs(don't like anyone outside family prone to bite strangers). I sent them pictures of their dogs acting like babies in my lap and they sent me a text calling me a "dog whisperer" classic but still more pics please. lol

Wow man. Just got caught up on whats been going on with you! Ive never been in a situation with no way out. But I can say that after near death situations, life and the people that you love take on a whole new meaning and priority. When I got back from Afghanistan, I wanted the wife and kids all in the bed with me every night! I couldn't squeeze then tight enough!
When reality hits, dont hesitate to talk to someone about how you feel. We lose more guys after they get home than we do overseas. You and your co worker should keep a check on each other!

At the end of the day, just remember you are in God's plan!

Thanks buddy.

It was not even close to Afghanistan I got to go home after my 2 hour ordeal. But I will heed your advice and I am taking it easy and enjoying myself immensely. But it is time to get back to work.lol

You guys on this forum are great. Thanks for all the kind words fellas.

It's good to have you here in one piece Kabwe. When you are finished whispering to your truck, I will let you talk to mine. All it wants to be right now is a pile of parts. Awe who am I kidding?, house repairs and kids have me tied down as well.
