I am still alive!

Posted Thu, 08/12/2010 - 20:40 by Tom

Just a quick note while I am waiting to catch a plane back to Cebu

I am still alive. Learned a lot about Corredigor and Manila from WW2.

Touched and 18 inch shell from Yamato's sister ship.

RC gear here is the same price as in the states!

Take care all.

Kumusta Ka!

Sa’an Punta mo?

Sorry all.  I may be back physically, but mentally I am still in the islands.

Just send our baby girl off to college.  She is the last of the children to leave the nest.  Mary is not only unhappy about leaving home to return to the States, but is also suffering separation anxiety. 

I have a goal of opening up the dry dock this weekend and making some progress on Bis/Tirp, Lumpy and the PE plans.

Drove past one of the ponds this week.  They had drained it, and dredged it out at the beginning of summer.  Now it is filing up again. I had hopes that it would be algae free for a while.  But as I drove past, I could see that algae has claimed half of it already!  UGH!!!

Take care all.

Welcome home Tom! I have been on the road a lot also and am finally coming up for air. Eric and his family are coming down this weekend (Sept 18-19) to work on ships for a couple of days. Normally I would suggest you come join us but it sounds like you need to stay home for a while.

Being separated from family is hard. Please give Mary a big hug from Diana and I am let her know she is in our thoughts and prayers. Hopefully you guys will get settled into this new, and exciting, time in your lives with out too much angst.

Keep us posted on the ponds!

UGH!  I keep adding ships to my one day build list!

Found information on the USS Cebu.  A ship named after Mary's home town!

Right now I am working on opening up my work shop, I mean the dry dock for business.

Mary has a high priority project for me to complete before I can start again on the Bis/Tirp build.

Ye olde garage door came apart yesterday morning as I was trying to leave for the office.

Now I am forced to buy a whole new door.

UGH! There when the funding for my ship!

I hope to be able to launch the ITT Cannon Fodder soon.     (ITT = It's a Tempting Target)

Will post some photos of my progress soon.

Take care all.

Tom & Mary

I am more-or-less back from my travels... I should resume work on Nassau this weekend. Charles is back too - hopefully we can all prod each other into getting more done. LOL
