Where Gary has been...

[Gary_in_Indiana]

First off, I want to thank everyone who's sent PM's asking after me since I kind of went MIA here. Things like that show me once again why I say TBN is everything I always hoped the Internet could be. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I've just gotten very busy with work as I've made a change in the primary focus of my business and expanded into some new markets. I recently started making it a point to check in once in a while but seldom make it past Related Topics and only posted once or twice in the past few months, I'm afraid. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

The last couple weeks represent a good example of how things have been of late. I had a semi stolen and burned in Detroit. My daughter was graduated from law school. She and her Mom took a week to fly down to Monterrey Mexico to visit my son (he's now living and working there...another story). My son had lots of things planned for them for the week but ends up having emergency surgery the first morning they're there. It went well and he's recuperating and they're now back home. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

That all having been said, I'm going to make a sincere effort to become more of a regular here again. I've really missed TBN and all of the great folks here. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Keep your prioritys straight Gary. We'll always be here arguing over the lift cap of a BX or something! /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

I fell off TBN for at leats 6 months. Just got busy... No biggie.

Hey Gary, glad to see you around again. I thought you might have abandoned us for one of the motorcycle sites. Good luck with the new business venture and I sure hope your son has a speedy recovery.

Life is never dull, that's for sure! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Glad you and your's are all OK. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Thanks, everyone. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

My daughter is cramming for the Bar exam in July. My son is recovering albeit slowly. He's probably looking at the better part of a month off. The truck is the insurance company's concern now. I bought another one and had the driver in it within a week so he's happy. Now I just have to wait on the insurance settlement. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

On the up side, I've actually got my property looking like I'd like out front (behind the tree line is another story... /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif ). I've spent the better part of Saturday and Memorial Day out there before the rains came each day. Yesterday we got 2 1/2 inches so it's a little soggy again. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

Welcome back Gary! Understandable absence, hope all is heading in the right direction for you /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Glad to see you back Gary! /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

I, too, hope all is going well for you and yours and that things get even better. Glad to hear your son is on the mend. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

We had a bunch of threads about "What kind of trailer should I get?" Every time one of those was posted, the first thing I thought of was, "Well, maybe we'll finally hear from Gary again who'll get these guys straightened out!" /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

You'd better stick around for at least the next year, 'cause I'll probably be asking the same question! /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Garry,

I actually did reply to a couple threads on trailers just this weekend. I have to admit that I'm fond of my old trailer, though. No ramps to mess with. No climbing up on the trailer with ice, snow or mud on the bed. It sure makes like easier. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
