I'm Coming Home!!!!!!

[loman4ec]

Thank you everyone! I am very excited. I am making a lot of changes in my life. Heather just helped me to fight the terrible addiction that comes with long term pain killer usage. I have been on Oxycontin 60 mg/ day for 2.5 years. I still have a lot of pain but I had to get away from the medication. It's nasty stuff. She helped me break free from that while she was here and I have never felt better. Everyone please no matter how bad you hurt never start taking opiate pain killers long term!

I am very much looking forward to being home. I am not looking forward to the cold though. I have gotten used to the weather here

Brian, I am looking forward to being close to you. It will be fun working on machines together and having a good old friend so close

Well Josh Congrats on the great news all around  .
It will be good to have you back in the States .

Josh,
Glad you are off the Oxycontin. Very bad stuff. Just get plenty of excercise and you will be fine.
Best wishes!!
Creighton

We all wish you well and are glad to hear the good news!!  Keep us posted...

Holy crap!  Guys, start buying what you can now, because when Josh get's back to this side of the Date Line, there will be nothing left!

Seriously, CONGRATULATIONS Josh and Heather!  Also, I am glad to hear you are off the pain meds.  Like Creighton said, get plenty of exercise.  Loading a machine or 100 in your truck will help.  Does the Mrs. Josh-to-be like the machines?

Hello Josh, Great to hear your coming back! Hopefully mine and Glen's picking area is out of your reach. LOL

Congrats all the way around, Josh!  I know you will be glad to be back, and enjoy all the positive changes in your life!

Josh, Congratulations on both fronts, I'm sure you'll enjoy being home chasing machines again.

Thanks again everyone. And yes Heather is really into my collecting. She is even looking forward to learning about the machines and working on them with me. She is just happy that my favorite pass time and hobby keeps me in the garage and not in a bar. Now I just need to decide what I am going to do. Its probably 50/50 that I will go to Indy. I would like to work with Grandpa but i am tired of owning my own company. Too much stress. I would really like to have a normal job however I hear jobs are hard to find in the US right now. We will move anywhere that work takes me. I would like Indy or Ohio but its so darn cold and I don't know how my hip will do in the cold. And one good fall could be disastrous. Oh well we will see. I just can't wait to be home!!!!

If you end up near the Richmond, IN area let me know.  Could use someone nearby with a good knowledge of the machines.
