First off, my opologies to Staffjim who sent me the SU-100 to build review and I have not yet been able to fulfill. I never thought all the stuff that has fallen on me would do so either. I should have gone gang-busters from the word go, but learning to do a BLOG was more work than I thought (hint to the rest of you all out there...make a permanent photo-shoot area for easy picture taking or you will spend half your time setting up and taking down photo stuff...) So Sorry Jim, I will get this some by summers end if nothing else...and get you three reviews an a feature for the site.
Next, what the heck happened to me? Well, when last you heard, I was off to Utah for a few days of R&R. Well, on the 27th my mother ended up int he hospital with digestive problems...which turned into a ordeal leading to the need for surgery where a 12 inch section of her small intestine was removed. But the fun does not stop there. She then contracted a MAJOR internal infection that was not immediately detected. This was very serious because of her immuno-suppressed nature from all the Chemo-therapy she has been taking. So for the last 12 days she has been in Intensive Care and not coherent. And not out of the woods yet either.
Prognosis is actually good, though. Chemo is working on the cancer and the infection is slowly residing. But having to care for my family from a distance means a lot less time for hobbies. And tthere has been a lot of time needed to help family out so...
Plus I recieved a build commision for a M48A3, so that is eating up any free time I may have.
Oh, and I tried to cut off my left hand middle finger, at the middle knuckle to-boot, with a hobby knife while in Utah (No stiches needed,but there is nerve damage. SIGH.)
I have been keeping tabs on the site, but from public computers and modem hookups...not indusive to posting when away from home.
But I am home for a week now and then will be back for most of August, barring any other complications. So hang in there with me, life can't stay this intense forever!
