Doug, are you sure you're up to a visit from the good Dr. G?  After all -- you had Pork Pie visit you last autumn and that must have taken quite a while to fully recover.  Sure you want a foreign visitor again? :roll: :evil:

    I survived interpreting Pork Pie's German /English, surely interpreting Aussie can't be that bad. He'd probably have to live with rot gut American beer though or some of that micro-brew stuff from Billings.

I'm really sorry to hear that Trent. I really hope things go well for you in the New Year. It's been a rough few months.

It's tough losing a dog. I've often found it tougher than losing a family member but then again I live alone and the dog is pretty much my constant companion.

I'm sure things will come together for you and you'll be moving forward again shortly. GOOD LUCK!  :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

In this case it was Trent lost his pooch. It's been about 11 years since I've gone through that experience. It really can be a tough time.

Keep your chin up Trent and keep moving forward. 2014 should be a good year. Working on your own projects where you don't have to depend on others is often the best way to go.

Tough stuff to go through Trent. Keep your head up. I've found the best thing for me to do when I'm feeling down is to go down to the shop, crank up the radio, and spend some quality time on the car.
