Disaster Strikes...

 Here's what was left of the muffler after the pressure washing...

Going to need to come up with something else!  If it's that bad, attempting to weld it up will just make it worse.

Remember me?

 Hey!  Yeah, I'm still alive.  Been an interesting few years.  To add to the last post... 5 years ago...  

Remember the cancer?  Well it's in remission.  Stage IV melanoma, a liver full of tumors, a few large growths in a few other places.  Gone.  All of it, all gone.  

Shortly after my last post, my wife at the time decided that since I was dyin' it was as good a time as any, and left me with my 3 boys.  So I spent the last 5 years as a single dad, raising 2 teenagers and a toddler, while recovering from something that should have killed me.  

It didn't.  Kill me, that is.  And supposedly, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger?  Not sure how I feel about that, but I've learned a lot the last few years.  I've been brought to my knees, and been picked up again.  I've experienced miracles- the most recent of which was re-gaining access to this blog!!!  What a fight that was.  

Lot's of new things going on, can't wait to tell you all about them!!!

STAY TUNED!  Setting a goal right now to make posting here happen at least once a week.  

And, a little teaser of what I've been working on the last few months:
