Just wanted to let you all know that I'm back!! Some of you may remember that about 2 years ago we found out that my wife was diagnosed with cancer. That hit us like a ton of bricks. Not knowing what was to come next, the RTS project was shut down and all focus was on her health. I'll have you all know, a ton of bricks is nothing to be afraid of.... with a little time and strength, they can all be placed into their proper places. My wife is doing well and the RTS project is back underway!!! Just for the heck of it I fired her up (uh...yes the RTS) about two weeks ago to get that diesel exhaust smell back on me for a little encouragement. A new list of tasks was made and I am trying to prioritize the tasks at this time. At the moment, I'm working on the front door installing an RV style latch on the original door that I have connected the two sections. You'll see a pic of the progress made to the exterior to the left. It sure is good to be back. Chat and Post with you all soon! Toolman |

Happiness is a clean medical bill of health!! I know. My YL is in the hospital right now going thru bouts with atrial fibrillation. The last time this happened she had a heart attack, followed 40 days later by a stroke which left her with complete left side paralysis. AyJay |

Our prayers and thoughts are with both of your families. My wife had surgery last August for atrial fibrillation. It is a new procedure only done by a couple of surgeons in the US with a 95% success rate. She is doing great now. |
