I hate to say it, but I haven't been in my shop all summer and up to now. Many of you know that I have a brother with a disability and that has really taken up all of this year because he is continuing to get worse with his disease. In July he got a feeding tube placed in him and due to his disease, that procedure really took a toll on him. Since he got out of the hospital from it, he has required even more attention and care, not that he didn't before, because trust me he did. He is doing ok now, just slowing down a lot. Now that things are at a constant pace, it is turning to winter already, darn. Not only the care of my brother that has kept me out of the shop, but it is me also. With everything going on, school, work, and my brother, I just haven't had the drive or passion to get in the shop. I am starting to get in the mood of stirring up sawdust now, so despite the cold that is coming, I am planning on getting out there and making projects. I apologize for my absence here on the forum. I thank all of you for making a great community here and I am glad to be a part of it.
