[spriggy]

   Been a good 9 months  6 Months (#edit# I lied.. looks like I had a short post in June ..)  away from the hallowed forum... and all my arcade projects at home for that matter!! 

The fricken family illness has raised it's head.... AGAIN.    Hopefully level things out soon and get back to this joyous place and the arcade madness it produces!!

cheers

Family illness?  Not serious, I hope.  That could mean anything from bad hair to colon cancer to schizophrenia.

   Not bad hair..... no hair persay!   The dreaded big 'C'!  Same thing happened a year or so ago... and before that....  Don't talk about it much..     Wife was ill... and then her mum with your second guess ChadT.   Hence the stupid 'family illness' tag I always use! Wife and mother inlaw get through that shite ok...  and then the M.I.L.  goes and has a small stroke...  She's pretty much recovered now without any signs of disability (no new ones anyway.. ..that was nasty spriggy!!) 

Oh well.... what do you do? ...hope 4 the best!!... shite happens...

Damn!!.... that was too heavy for this place.... someone kick me hard!!!

My status... I'm no problems.... wife is great, fit as frick now...    just the M.I.L. too go..

I've still got a few things left on the house to do... so I won't get back to my 'Cosmic Guerilla' restoration until I finish the main house projects....

In the big picture, a cab doesn't mean a damn thing, so feel no loss or anxiety over it.  Gotta take care of the health and family first, second, and third.

What are the main house projects?  I have a mile long list of those myself.

[spriggy]

Very true...  definately no anxiety over it, but a feeling of loss over the cabs...definately so ChadT!!

Housejects:  Just before this crap reared its head again, I was about to start the wooden patio... that was obviously put on a temp. hold.  In the mean time, I re-designed the patio in CAD... to be constructed in steel and not wood. Will suit the house better.

SO... I'm about to order my steel next week and start building the thing with Dad (recently retired fabricator/welder).  I'm then going to lay down some limestone retaining walls at the back of the house.  The rest is just little things inside the house that can be done in parrellel with my Arcade stuff (ie skirting boards, painting etc..)

[ChadTower]

Okay that project is bigger than my projects.  I'm not as skilled in construction as that.

[spriggy]

WOW     It's been a while since I endulged here. 

Just raising the head outta the water.  AND also about time to start fiddling with the cabs again.  Pretty much 2 years of nothing.  Everythings sorted life wise and going well.  Missing the arcade madness.

Hopefully able to finish an old mates project and get my Cosmic Guerilla restored ... then    Soon young jedi.... Soon!

Gday to the old boys!!
Cheers
