Good to hear from you Jerry. How's Seoul? It has been raining here in Yokosuka for the past 5 days but it's slowly starting to clear up.

I can't wait for my retirement. I'm actually thinking of retiring in the Philippines so I don't have to work anymore or just get into an internet cafe business. At least over there, my Navy pension will be more than enough .

Yea we have mentioned this before, and it would be very cool if that could be arranged, but getting everyone together considering some of the places that we are writing from would be very difficult in deed. If you have been around here long enough you know that we probably have at least 20 countries represented here on RCM. Funny to mention that though. I jsut had a call last night from a friend about getting together again for the NASCAR race week in NC next October and I plan on doing some R/C racing while there. These are guys who I served with in the Navy in Holy Loch Scotland from 1977 to 1990, and one of them has a 45' custom motor coach. This will be our second gathering, but more guys have found out about it and want to join in on the fun. Having something like this with the RCM gang would be a blast.

Doing ok Geroge, and Seoul is pretty cool for the most part. Thanks for asking. Of course you may have read that my wife is dealing with breast cancer right now. No worries as she is fine. Luckily we caught it early, and surgery went great. She is stateside right now awaiting radiation treatments, and we hope to have her back here at home by late Jan/09. With just getting custody of my three youngest(after 7 years) after losing their mother to cancer at 35 this past Feb, Xmas is kind of tough this year. Even in the midst of dealing with her issues, we just received three huge boxes from her full of Xmas gifts. This is the third union for both of us, and we love spoiling each other after being treated like crap by teh EX's. Life goes on and we will overcome.

Glad to hear that you are retiring soon. We discussed retiring overseas, but we love the states too darned much and want to be close to the kids and all of our family when that time comes. I have not had as much time with the R/C stuff as I would like with everything that we have going on, but I still have a lot of stuff arriving in the mail for when I do have the time. Plus I have my heart set on one of Mikes Slipperentials, and the new Maxx center diff kit hopefully sometime in Jan/09. Plus Plettenbergs new chassis setup. So 2009 is shaping up to be quite a year for us. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year guys.
