Fill me in on any aspect of your life you want to share during the CPS purgatory crisis. How long ago was it that it went down? Seems like years.

Mostly I smoked pipes, cigars and fished and played around with the ham radio. Never did learn morse code yet. (Not giving up though Jocose)

Never got Covid, Praise God. Currently catching up on home repairs that I let go for 12 years. When the house got dangerous, I decided it was time to get off my butt. I've increased the stock value of Harbor Freight but so far fixed some porch stairs and rebuilt my pump house which was collapsing. Plenty more to do.

Once I get caught up on the house, which may take a year, I want to take some mechanics courses at the local community college. I never did know jack about basic repairs on a vehicle and it's time I learned. Plus it will give me a chance to spend money on tools. I like tools.

As far as Covid, I did not get sick, work expectation never changed, except work more, much more, don't complain, we will fire you, but we can't replace you, we have taken all your benefits away to make sure You stay here forever, WTF? Can't find anything to make repairs because all the other folks at home getting paid because of covid have ordered or bought everything up, good for them, bad for me. Praise God I'm still here. He will let me survive.

I became a radar engineer. I'm still having trouble believing it's true. I'm also a part-time pastor.
I am not as cool as JimVH. Nor or you. Well, unless you ARE JimVH.

Started racing RC cars with my son. Lots of work (for me) but loads of fun.
Wishing you God's very best!
