Andrew D. the Jolly Rogers guy Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Hello fellow ARC'rs! I haven't QUITE totally disappeared. I've had a LOT of changes going on in my life, and have not kept up with the hobby....went from completing 18 builds in 2017 to only one very early this year. Everything has been changing in my life, mostly for the better, but the Good Lord is leading me in amazing directions I had frankly given up on. Didn't want anyone to think I'd bailed for any particular reason with the site or anyone here. I'll try to check in when I can. Blessings to you all! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
janman Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Hey, good to see you here! After all, in my mind you've been one of the household names here without which this place just wouldn't be the same. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew D. the Jolly Rogers guy Posted September 29, 2018 Author Share Posted September 29, 2018 Well, that's very kind of you to say, and the feeling's mutual; always been a pleasure to have you in here! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RKic Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Glad you're good, but I thought you left for the same reasons 75% if the rest of this crowd has left. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SBARC Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Good to see you're ok Andrew. I have also been busy as stink the past 6 months during the tourist season...but tourist season will be ending soon for the winter permitting me to have time for ARC and other things I enjoy.

JackMan Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Glad you're still around, my friend :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew D. the Jolly Rogers guy Posted September 30, 2018 Author Share Posted September 30, 2018 Thanks folks! Finn, that's a beauty, would be either on the way back from or immediately following their '65 Vietnam combat deployment. Still had the yellow sash, but during the cruise they transitioned to black tails. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Darren Roberts Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Glad to hear you're still hanging out with us. I always find it amazing when God opens doors we thought were closed. I guess we get impatient, yet his timing is always perfect for our lives. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm pleased to say the forest fires season seems to be over....my province received some much needed rain over the past few weeks. I'm also coming to the end of the tourist season and my 14 hour days / 7 days a week, which will give me more time to focus on ARC. It's been a real grind and I'm looking forward to working less.

Not sure if it's primer, but I've seen a few flight deck shots showing that from that cruise. Edited September 30, 2018 by Andrew D. the Jolly Rogers guy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
