  • I have too much bad luck lately. Hope there are better days coming. I had a broken jaw in 2 places. checked with multiple places. No one wants to or can't repair it do to the upper denture - they say that can't be anchored to. Well the damage on my 86 truck that I kept in perfect condition, totally depression to me, prefer to not even think about it. It has been a while. Now you know why. Bet your days have been going better than mine. I do have some video that I shot prior to all this happened. Just quite depresses with all this happening.....Thank all you folks for being loyal viewers!

    Oh man, I am so sorry. Sometimes life really gives us a hard kick in the pants, there's just no way around it. We are all at risk of being caught by the wolf that is always stalking us, just a few steps behind. That is why we must be grateful for every day that Fate spares us, because one day she won't. Your videos mean something to your viewers, and we care about you, dude. Don't let the depression demons get you-things can get better again. Maybe you could get a Patreon going to help cover some expenses. Best of luck to you in the future, it will get better!

    Keep your head up buddy. We have all been there and done things we wish we hadn’t. Hope the jaw heals up nice as it can. As for the mechanical automobile, things can always be fixed with the proper amount of work and money. What can’t be fixed or bought is a life. What you didn’t lose during all this is not even comparable. Count your blessings, mourn your vehicle, dust off and focus on all the things that you do have. You have your amazing brain that can do anything and you have a ton of cool gadgets and items that you love. You have a giant shop filled with things people would love to have and so many things that hold sentimental value. Just think about all that you are blessed with and your days will be bright. Take care buddy. Look forward to seeing some new projects!

    always enjoyed checking out your videos (and learned something). Hopefully things will get better for you. Suggestion towards any healthcare: setup an appointment with a "specific seasoned specialist" at a large Research University Medical Center with a large endowment and excellent ratings (ie: University of Wisconsin Madison--Highland Ave Hospital). Could make a big difference with any major healthcare issues.
