Shannow MIA

He isn’t the only one missing one of the staff members is too. Also another one of my favorites is missing as well but I think he got banned because his profile or posts don’t come up anymore when I try to search for him.
 
Hi Guys...userfriendly alerted me to this thread.

I appreciate it...and have been gone too long...will get into the PMs, apologies, that was slack.

If I think critically (I'm pretty good at that), the forum change was just something that triggered a "too hard" spot in my psyche at the time.

Yep, per the points on where I've been post family moving out last July)
Dec - promotion - fires, evacuating work, bar essentials, running that, and standing on my own roof with the fires 400' away, worrying about kids with no roads in or out of town, spent 6-1/2 hours with them Christmas.
Jan - prep for 2020 - looking to be a great year, 30 mins with the kids
Feb - COVID prep
Mar - preparing COVID protocols for site, sent everyone off site who didn't have to be there, 23 minutes with my son.

All gets blurry from there, work from home moved to 60 hour weeks, literally hundreds of hours on keeping those peeps safe and assessing new risks in real time, solo in my home office, just me and the cat...

Prep for the biggest shutdown my station has ever had, peak 1,000 people the other day, managed in the current state of the nation.

No coms from the kids, our connection is a $40k p.a. child support bill - letter from a lawyer when daughter dropped H.S. and took up a vocational training in travel and tourism. Another letter from a lawyer a few weeks ago asking for a property settlement.

Survived, not broken, but in no headspece to even keep track of what the latest polymer VII happens to be...

Started my first new relationship in 28 years mid Sept...it's lovely...we laugh and laugh a lot.

Short term targets
* get property settlement done, and tht phase of my existance gone
* wait for my Rossi Citadel to get delivered.
* Get a small tinny fishing boat hopefully with summer to spare.
* get a dog.

...and then maybe get back into oil...I've got a stupid stash...

Thanks guys....

Steve
