Hello Folks, it’s been some while since I’ve posted much. I’ve kept track for the most, peeking in on my phone over a cup of coffee in the morning, and popping up here and there, more so recently on Jake’s “Boobie” post.. (Jake, can you email me a high res?).
Well, it’s been quite a journey, as some know I’ve been battling cancer and effects of chemo the past 18 months. I’m in remission and well back on track energy, mobility and cognitively wise, although the ‘other half’ says on the latter I wasn’t much that anyways.. haha.. I’ve a few recent scans and tests I’m awaiting results on, but totally confident I’m done and dusted.... A few things, perhaps acknowledging I’m not the same, but can easily adapt so ‘onwards and upwards’... God bless the NHS..
For quite some time I’ve wanted to thank all, but for some reason shyed away from it.. I think it comes from that growing up in the 70’s thing, we just don’t talk about it, a fear of appearing to bleat on about it and hey us guys growing up in the seventies don’t feel their testicles (we let the chicas do that).. lol.. not that it was mine, it’s rare, 1 in 2 million and at least not as a result of being a life long bloody smoker!.. I think also there was a fear to engage, fearing I’d not be up to it in the event, difficult to explain, but I suppose for me a part... Anyways peeps... I just want to say... “Thank you so much chaps and chappettes”... I feel the need to mention a few, who without their support my journey would have been so much more difficult. It’s hard to explain the full extent... Jake, God bless you for all mate... ChrisV, ye old mukka and kindred spirit, jealous of your RV.., Rob G, missing our cake buddy, for sure... Mr T, let’s spend some time in the workshop... Status, gawd blimey mate... Stevie B Baby, I’ll still carry a ciggie for when we meet.... Paul, Christian, Woody, Richie P, Jonbills, JohnyMD, “The Girls ”, Riddler, Sean D, all I’m sure not aware how much their kindnesses had such a huge impact on me.
It’s a testament of the club and the people involved, how lifelong friendships can be formed, and how especially in these difficult times we all find ourselves in, how a kind gesture goes such a long way.
Enough said... Yesterday was the first day for months back in my workshop, TBH I was a little head in hands, picking up the pieces and thinking “What’s next, where do I go from here?”.. I’m full of excitement and energy, privileged to be enjoying the space... I’ve spent the past month or so picking up on the domestics and work which inevitably had grown, but for now the large part is done and I’m champing at the bit to get back to my Z’s ...
Not sure how to title my next post which will be my main thread... It’s gonna be about my Z’s, the workshop and how much of this is unknown... I’m no mechanic, confident body wise, to me it’s more of a journey of a guy that just loves anything to do with Z’s, likes something new and can’t think of anything better than tinkering!... Was thinking.. “One man, his workshop and his Z’s”... Suggestions please...
For the first time in quite a while I feel that I’m back, thank you so much peeps...
