I hope to make it home and pick this truck up so I can work on it.

I have had a abrupt halt to my life this summer and have not been able to do anything RC for a while. I had to give my RC Club away that I started so I would not take the series away from the current crop of racers we have attending the series I started. I gave the club to my current VP so he could continue on.

I moved my mother into my home on Memorial day weekend of this year and packed her life into a Ryder moving truck and put it into storage. She was very sick and needed help so I moved her and started taking care of her. Two weeks prior to this my sons new home help care aide quit on me the second day of employment. So this cancelled all of my summer plans even before this happened with my mother because I could not find a new aide. I had a few days in between hospital visits to start this thread and have done all the anodizing prep and now just trying to get a handle on things here at home.

I lost my mother just recently after a long battle with cancer this summer and my son started his new year at MSU as a sophomore. We luckily hired a new aide the week before classes were to begin and this meant my son would be able to move back to college instead of me commuting with him daily. I had to travel 3-4 times a week for the first few weeks training this new aide how to care for my son who has Spinal Muscular Atrophy. This new aide turned out to be a two faced un compassionate person. I fired him this past weekend and had to move into my sons apartment with him. Then my wife was involved in a accident this morning with my other two kids bringing them to me so I could take them to a doctors appt. The front end of her brand new Honda CRV is ruined but everyone is fine with no injuries.

Nothing has seemed to go right at all this year. Centralemaxx RC has been very patient through all of this with me and it is greatly appreciated. I have some amazing pics to post up and assembly will be starting this coming week. I am now just going to take our time and evaluate each new aide who applies a bit more thoroughly. We had the most qualified aide yet apply for the job and we set up a time for 2pm yesterday, he was a no call / no show. It has been a rough 2013 and I am ready for it to be over.

So I am going to grab some gear and build my Ph@ntom here in this tiny apartment......lol If I can find a new aide and now that I no longer have a club to run I hope things will start to transition into a new beginning. I really need some things to go right.
