    I am still alive!

    Hi all,
    I just wanted to come on and explain a bit about why I have not been posting. Life has dealt me a bad hand right now and I have serious issues to tend to with my family, mainly my wife. She is not well and I have had to let woodworking take a back seat but as a great supporter here on the Creek I thought I owed it to my friends to let you all know where I have been. When I have a chance I will be on from time to time but please don't take my absence as "I gave up on you all". I have made many great friends here and I am here for good. Thanks for the out-poring of PM's I have received from (you know who you are). I truly felt cared for by a bunch of folks who have never met me.
    As for the Collaboration box... when it gets here I will complete it so don't worry about that. To the turners... the bomb is dormant right now but calls for me to turn it on again.
    Take care all!
    Dewey

    Good luck with everything. Here's hoping all is well with your family quickly.

    Dewey ya had us worried there, really good to hear from you again. You and your wife will be in our thoughts and I do wish you both well. We'll handle things here with the collaboration project so dont worry about that, just do what you need to do buddy!!
    If at first you don't succeed, look in the trash for the instructions.

    Dewey,

    You and your family will be in my thoughts.

    I had a guardian angel at one time, but my little devil got him drunk, tattooed, and left him penniless at a strip club. I have not had another angel assigned to me yet.
    I didn't change my mind, my mind changed me.
