Well guys I'm back. well sorta.

First I want everyone to know my absents was not intended. Life has thrown me some hard balls as of recent. First my accident and recovery, then our company lost two engineers quite unexpectedly. One to cancer and one to a plane crash. That has trippled my work load and then some.

This and some personal issues has left me mot knowing where I would be from one day to the next. As I have been cover for one engineer we lost to cancer and commuting to Cheyenne some times twice a week for the past 3 months to train a new fresh out school engineer to replace the on lost in Cheyenne. I have been working on average of 6 days a week, 12-14 hours a day not counting commuting time. I pretty much have gone from work to bed and vise versa for months on end.

I am 3 months behind on one commission and a therefore also a month on the next. Then I have two orders after that booked.

I know I have probably left someone standing on something I offered to do and If so I am deeply sorry. I want everyone to know that I did not abandon the forum I have just been pulled into many directions at once this winter.

Anyway it is good to be back home for a while and great to stop in and say howdie. I will not likly be able to be on forum near as much as in the past till work kind of slows down and I get caught up in the shop. but will be back on as much as I can get a way with.


I missed you guys!

Michael

EEK!!! Don't sneak up on me like that! Whew.

You have indeed been missed, Michael. All those shellac questions...! BTW, check out the continuing buzz about Ubeaut Hard Shellac. You'll probably find it interesting.

I've been wondering how your healing process was going, so I'm glad to read that you're able to work in the shop, even if you don't have the time. Good luck catching up!

We've missed you here and glad to hear life may have settled down for you.
