Anyhow. Life presents it self with Opportunities all the time. My wife and I are moving to Scottsdale AZ, We bought an Acre(and are buying the acre next door as well). About 400 yards from a National forest Gate, and a few thousand miles of offroad trails. We bought the first acre last year about this time. Covid has really slowed down all permit processes and created some fun jigs and jags. Anyhow, We are building a house, pool, and a shop. With Future plans for a couple small rental Casitas on the property(hence the second acre). And Yes, Robin and I will be escaping in the Summer to Alaska and the property we own there.
I was not really closing the doors till this fall(Sept or Oct). But I had a accident Saturday the 5th. I was with my Brother in Law, Ernie moving some shelves. These were heavy Steel home made shelves. 16 ft long, 6ft high, using some 1/4 X 4" steel as a facing, 5 shelves high. They fell, I was able to get out from under neath. But in the process of holding up the shelves to get out from under them, I tore my Quadiceps muscle from the tendon at the knee cap. I get it
fixed this coming Thursday. So, I am not accepting any more work in the shop. These next few days, Ty and I will be finishing up what we can before my Surgery on Thursday. My customers that are in the shop, know. After the Doc releases me to be back in the shop. I again will be finishing up the 5 trucks(I hope one? maybe two will be done, Ty has a Mini truck to do a engine swap in) in the shop with Ty's help. This injury has a long, long recovery time. I wish I had broken a bone) , Tendons and Ligament have the worst healing times.
Yes, it really sucks, But as with the other injuries I have had in the past, it will heal and I typically come out on top.
It has been a pleasure to be part of the club, even though I made choices to not participate the last 5-6 years. I will still keep up as an associate member(I think this is a thing, or use to be). I believe I will get with the Copper state club after I get settled in.
Anyhow, I do hope you all have a great life. Best wishes.
