I have thought about him (MasseyWV) from time to time. I too have noticed his absence . Even tried to PM a couple of times, but apparently he has that feature turned off. I recall earlier in the year his wife had some medical issues pop up, and then the stalker / lurker she caught hanging around outside their house....I hope every thing is all right with him and his family.
If anyone knows him personally, we would appreciate any news....but from following his threads I know he values his online privacy, so I doubt anyone would have any info.....and he would probably say its none of our business anyway
So MasseyWV, if you have been lurking - we miss your posts and truly hope that things are well in your world.
I'm back!
Shortly after deciding to take a break from TBN for a variety of reasons, a series of personal issues came up which caused tractors and forums to become very low priorities in my life. Thankfully, everything is back to normal now with one exception... I have a much greater appreciation for life. To those who expressed concern at my absence, you have my sincere gratitude.
Recently, I've begun working on my tractor again and have made a great deal of progress. I'll post the details as time permits, but for those who are curious... the hydraulics have been rebuilt/installed and today I bolted the engine back up to the transmission. Tomorrow, I plan to install the cylinder head.
Stay tuned... there is much more to come.
