Hello Lew,

Thank you for your kind comments. It is unfortunate, but not surprising the number of fellows that have had, or are suffering from this dreaded illness. Some so young they have not had a chance to get started in life. But now to happier things - Where did I put that captain's chair??? 😁

Gregg, looks like many of us have been in the same "boat" recently. I hope we all see a much healthier and better year in 2024. Get well soon.

Greg,
Glad to see you back!
I had a little go-around with "C" back in 2019. It sure knocks the wind out of your sails when you hear the C word.
Luckily, I only live a little over 2 hours from the Mayo Clinic, and I chose to seek treatment there over the local healthcare folks. Less than a year's treatment, and I am cancer free.
I'm glad you got the "all clear", and are back to modeling!

So far my collection resembles "The Island of Misfit Toys". I've picked up several boats that are old builds and have been neglected. I'm giving them the TLC they need, hoping to bring them back to their former glory. Once I get enough practice/ experience I intend to take on a full build.

RN, sometimes my late father’s penchant for shouting orders comes shining through (tongue-in-cheek of course) in my comments. 😊

Firefighter, glad to hear you're back again and long may you continue 😊.
Take it easy buddy, had a similar "concern"with the big C a little while ago so can relate. Fortunately they dug it out. Looking forward to seeing more of your posts in the near future 😀

Hello Hermank,

It certainly played with my mind, not knowing what the outcome would be and of course I was not the only one who had the worry. My wife and family suffered as much as I did. So although I had concern for myself I also worried about my family's wellbeing. My wife and I have been together for 51 years and I did not want to have say goodbye. Still, all is well now so she can start commenting again on all the modelling I do and lack of grass cutting, decorating, emptying the dishwasher and so on!!! 😁

Firefighter good afternoon
I did n’y know it was the disease with thé big C. I Hope your mental State is over it but i can imagine how it affects your personal Life and that of your loved ones. But being cleared and a New year in front should help to restart with fresh courage the modelboat building
I wish you and your loved ones a healthy prosperous 2024

Hello Hermank,

Thank you for your comments. Unfortunately I had a cancer scare with weeks of uncertainty whilst I underwent various tests. But fortunately in the end I was cleared. The other problem with me getting back to modelling was my Arthritis which is another story!😁

But I'm back now!

Hello everybody,

After a period of ill health and an unwanted health scare I have returned to the building of my model boats or will be in the next few days or so. Just got to get organised!

Anyway, I just thought I post this message to let you know that I'm still around and look forward chats and adding post in the coming weeks.

All the best to you all and a Happy New Year!

Greg
