discussion Mr. Ketchup is "Back in da House"...hopefully...

[Allen Dewire]

Evening All,

As you might have noticed, I have been absent for a while. A lot of crap has been going, some good, but mostly bad. Laptop died and this time it was fatal. HD can be saved, as it is new, but the motherboard bit the dust. My son the techie can transfer the data to this new one and use the HD for an external storage device. One of my good friends lost his son to Leukemia too. He had battled it for about 2 years and finally lost the war. He was 37 years old and in his prime. A good guitar player too. Also some other stuff happened that I won't get into...

Funny thing is, the Mojo has still been flying off the map and without real internet comms, I have been going crazy at the table to keep my head on straight. I have been on the forum and following all your builds, or so I thought. When I tried to comment a few times, I got messages from windows and some blue screens, so I just gave up on it. I see I have fallen way behind on so many good things and builds. I don't think I will be able to ever ketchup and I apologize for this. With this new laptop, I hope to get into the swing of things once again...

On the good side, besides the laptop, I have had some retail therapy and will soon begin a blog on a CSM model I have started. I've other things on the go, but the pics are on the other HD, so I can't access them to post. I hope my son will accomplish the transfer on Sunday so I can bore you with what I have been doing. In the meantime, I will try and ketchup as much as I can...

Thanks for your understanding and please don't go running off screaming because I'm back. Now, a little humor to let you know, I haven't lost mine yet.......



Prost
Allen

Yo! Youngerthanme,

Thought maybe you had gone off to be transgendered or re-identified, joined a protest group protesting about something they know nothing about but believe all the bull foisted upon them.....

Hope you did not have any flooding like they did in the Frankfurt area.... I saw on YT they had it bad.

Sorry to hear about your friends son, my Sister was physically disabled, had pnumonia umpteen times and every time she was read her last rights, and in a way it was a blessing when she seemed to just give up the fight at age 50, sadly miss the playfull arguments we used to have over who got the cherry on the cake....

These electro/mechanical devices do not seem to last as long as the good old clay tablet or that later invention paper and pencil I had the same problem you have had and bought one of these little devices, just in case it happens again....

You can take out the old H/D and plug it into this device, then plug the device into your new all singing laptop and transfer what you like from the old one.

Pleased to see you have been active on the bench and not just lazing about while the rest of us work our eyeballs to zero under the glare of the candle stub on the end of our nose....

Well that is my letter of the day, now the nurse is coming along to massage my head and drip feed me my meds, Oh! to be twenty years younger and the things we could do on my zimmer frame.....

Take care and see you on the forum, and its a pleasure to see you back...

Olderthanyou.... is it cold nurse or are you just happy to see me......

 

[Allen Dewire]

WOW! Thanks so much folks. I'm just having a little trouble with this new toy and it has Windows11 on it. The keyboard is smaller and harder to use than my old one. Ain't easy with the sausage fingers...

Good to have you back Allen.

Thanks Boss! I see you have been slacking on the lawn mowing and great pics of your place. Rider fixed yet?

Good to have you back mate. It sounds life has thrown you a few curve balls. My condolences to your friends family.

Yeah Bro, the news was a hammer and unexpected. I'll pass them on to Holger. So you've gone modern, eh Paul?

Welcome back Allen.

Thanks Jim, Jimbo, Jigs (choose one)! Love your finished Balloon car Sir, But...........

Good to have you back Dude.

Thanks Paul and I love the dozer's on the flatbeds my friend...

It's good to have you back with us all once more, Allen.
Onwards and upwards........

Much appreciated Ron. Sorry I missed the finish of the church. So much to ketchup on...

Welcome back Alan, good to see you round these parts again..

Thanks so much Chris! I hope to be staying around for a while...

Hi Allen great to see you back and buzzing.

Thanks too Noah Garry! You building the Lanc in the new cave? I bet you have the heater running too Buddy...

You da man

Nah Dave, just an old git trying to get on with reducing the stash and not building it back up...

Hey, nice to have back in da room. Sorry to hear you've a bit of rough time of it lately.:sad-face:

Thanks Doug! I've been following your whoop whoop and it's great to see you've mastered the scratchy end of the hobby too...

You’ve been missed buddy. Good to see you back in the room.

Thanks Buddy! And I hope to stay in it for a long while. Gotta ketchup with your Little People, aka Lawn Ornaments too...

Yay! Allens back in the room :smiling3:
Geoff.

Thank you Geoff! Just leave the door open a crack in case someone breaks wind, Ok...

Welcome back pal

Thanks my friend and so sorry to hear about your situation too...

Glad you are back, Allen. :thumb2:

Thanks too Andrea! Good to be back and happy to see you are getting some bench time. Has retirement sunk in yet?

Welcome back mate!
Steve

Thanks Steve! Just wondering if you still need pics of the radio truck interior, or have you canned that build?

Oh bugger......
..... Just when it'd gone all nice'n peaceful,HE'S back,eh Cohan!!:astonished:

Yes Mr. Smiff, a bad day in Devon it is and yes, I'm back for the attack! Even Cohan can't help you Andy. He's too busy at the table doing what you are supposed to be doing, building your kits...

YEA nice to see back Allen i wondered where you had got to

Thanks a lot Chris! I haven't been far, but without comms, it's tough to post. We have to have a talk about Tiger too, my friend...

Thanks again for all the support. That what makes this forum so great. On to the ketchup, but I don't even know where to start. I guess from the top and work my way down.....

Prost
Allen

Thanks and sorry I missed you there much Olderthanme,

We only had flooding in Downtown Bamberg on one of the RR bridge underpasses. Some knucklehead tried to drive through it and got stranded in a yellow Golf. I guess he swam away to higher ground. His Golf ended up sideways in the underpass. With my friend's son, it was unexpected as he was doing much better and then, bam...

That's the plan with other HD, but my son will remove Windows 10 from the HD first. Then it will become my new external and the old laptop will be recycled to the dump. This new one is an Acer like in your pic Mike. It's an Aspire 3, but doesn't have a CD Rom in it. Guess I'll get an external one for it...

Good luck with the Nursie and keep you hands to yourself Buddy. Oh, and crack on with that Dough thingy your building too...

Prost
