Well We made it! The family and I are now moved into our new home in Orlando. Its a heck of a lot warmer than Ohio. I was down here a few weeks ago and found a very nice apartment. I was sad to loose my shop but my new job is going to take almost all of my time so I donbt I would work on machines much anyway. However they have single car garages here for rent in the complex for $100 so if I decide to work on machines again I can rent one. I couldnt paint but I could disassemble and reassemble. I miss machines already. I left everything that I had with my mom in ohio. I do have my big toolbox and all of my hand tools. I had to drive a massive moving truck down here, I have never driven a truck this big anywhere let alone 1,100 miles. Talk about nerve racking! But we got it done and everyone is happy. I know Jim is in south Florida but is there anyone in central FL. Its nice to be back. As some of you know I went to school in Daytona from 2000-2004 so this isnt too far. Its nice to be back. This is going to be home from now on I think. I really like it here!

Are you all going to be there sunday too? I cant come this morning as I have to go get AJ to a medical clinic and get all of his medical records ready for school. That is first and most important on the list. Is the show going on through the day?

Welcome (back) to FL! I am in Kissimmee, not too far from you at all. I have sold a couple of my machines and am down to just one (Cavalier 33 - love it!) and a U Select It candy machine. Don't know if you know anything about the candy machines - mine is stuck, let me know if you can fix it.
Sorry I missed the show at Heritage Park - I wanted to go, but I had a wedding to attend.

Thank you all so much. He was in so much pain he is in a better place now. Luckily he had only gotten really bad a few days before his passing. We had thought he had beaten the cancer then he went for a CT scan and they found a dark spot on a lung and his stomach but said they were not too bad and may not even be cancer. Then within 72 hours he was sick again and had to go to the hospital. the hospital redid the CT scan two days later and the spots had grown to grapefruit size tumors. So in 5 days the tumors had gone from spots to massive. He died 4 days later. Talk about aggressive cancer!
