Well not sure exactly how else to start or name this lil post of mine.
I just wanted to jump on here and say hey to all my good ole Bscene friends. I know I have been gone and kinda laying low since the beginning of this year. Let me sum how my life has been going to get yall back up to speed.
Sold the truck (project P.I.T.A.) last fall to make room in the garage and just because looking at it and not having time or money to work on her was, well depressing. Then come January and my life crashed HARD. My wife and I had a personal and EXTREMELY difficult period. It caused me to drop off the face of the earth so to speak for a while. I have forgiven and she has apologized and we are doing our best to be the story book husband/wife/family. I still have my moments where I just want to run and hide but it is getting better with time. Due to all of this I have basically closed up shop on my side gig of designing playgrounds through out the nation/world thus causing a $15,000 loss so far this year. My full time job has been a main focus and my professional growth with this company and my future have been tested. Been a rough year for sales and construction in general but we are on the upswing I believe so hopefully next year I can go back to a 2007 type paycheck.

So there it is the good the bad the ugly. I still don't have a mazda to play with, but want one someday. I have an Ex Cab in MO that again has a shot motor but should be able to get for free as long as my brother keeps it. I just recently cleaned the garage up and am going to start getting into industrial/recycled art. Something that I just enjoy. I get to use steel, welder, grinder, and my imagination. SO kinda like a truck. Plus there is a website that I may be able to sell some pieces on to make a lil extra $$$.

Well just wanted to say hey and to any friends on here that I just abandoned I am sorry and hope I can come right back into the bscene family as I plan on posting a bit more and getting back into it here.

MmM...dont think I do. I haven't done anything as of late. I did a rose last winter and my oldest did a kool looking bug thing. The later has recently been demolished by the youngest. LOL I have a few kool things in my head though and shall see.

Oh I am also going to make a custom (well modify a stock) horn cover for my pops Harley for Christmas.

Glad to hear you and your wife worked through your difficulties. I've been there with some severe difficulties very early in my marriage. Mistakes were made but here we are 13 years later and I don't know that things could be much better. It's hard to get past those things and the memories will pop up from time to time driving a dagger into your heart, but you just put them out of your mind asap and forget about it. Glad to hear your commitment won out! Praise God!

Awesome idea about the metal art. When I was doing motorsports fab in school our teacher said that was what he did more of now after leaving the motorsports side and he made a whole lot better living off the art work. So keep that going for sure man. Do what's in your heart, and keep striving ahead!

Oh yeah, be sure to continue to pop in here and say hey to all us from time to time
