    So sorry to hear man. Gimme a shout if you need an ear.
     
  8. I'm so sorry to hear that. Take time to grieve, but don't lose sight of joy in life along the way.

    Hey guys! Back from my sabbatical. I feel depressed most days but just can't go on like this anymore. I have decided I need garage time to get over life's constant curveballs. My kids are older now so that's a plus. Will be dusting off the old tools, cleaning up the garage and getting back to work on the old jalopy. Will definitely need your guys help as I have lost/forgotten/replaced a bunch of info. Should hopefully be up and running here soon. Best Regards,
    Whisky.
    Ps. for those of you interested I carved some pumpkins!

    Got the same "Get out there and get some work done" problem myself. Gotta get myself in the same frame of mind as the comic strip "Pluggers".
     
  13. Good plan. It's definitely time to get back to work. It will help you climb out of the low spot you're in I'd wager.

    Glad you are back at it fella, remember we may not have walked in your shoes, but there are many here who have seen some low lows!

    Hang in there and reach out if/when you need!

    Take care!

    Did a little more mock up...
    ImageUploadedByH.A.M.B.1416875074.871069.jpg
    Seems like a little slop here... The pack came with four very thin shims. I used two here.
    ImageUploadedByH.A.M.B.1416875138.607915.jpg
    What is the correct amount of play here?? Looks like 4 shims will tighten it up...
