Hey Pine and everyone else.

Sorry haven't been on. People did piss me off but that is not the reason why I disappeared.
I got down and disgeartened at yet another missed out opportunity on getting an Oval for myself. But at the time, i was working real hard doing my freelance stuff, trying to stay alive, but then I landed a sweet good paying job. that has been keeping me very very busy.

Had a lot to think about, soul searching and all and I am still busy with that. At the moment I am quitting the music thing. I am just not having fun with it, at all anymore, and I need to break away from it. hopefully i will find the fun in it again.

maybe one day i will get the bug (pardon the pun) for bugs again but at the moment, i just have my own mental sh*t to sort out.

Speak soon guys. (feels good to know some people miss me :) )

He is alive. Not in a good place right now emotionally, but I'll try and get him to come through and explain.

Hey,

Well I am am still around, but not on the site for the last 4 months(or so). As the proverbial goes..... "The shit has hit the fan". I dont give a "F" what people say about washing your dirty laundry out in public (just to put it out there before some smart ass comes with that comment!).... My wife commited(is commiting) adultery. She told me on the 4th of July she wants a divorce and on the 6th she told me that she met another man and "am only seeing him from today". Ja, sure! For six weeks I fought to keep this marriage alive (while I knew she was seeing him, going to his house during lunch times and even some evenings, after putting the two girls to bed), but this boat was fcuked royally!! And on the 18th of August, like a thief in the night, she left the house with some furniture(just after I left home to go to work. And in a matter of an hour and half, when I got news of a van in my driveway, I got home, and it was over.... I am sure I could see the dust settle!), all the kids clothes, most of the best/coolest toys, all the kids DVDs, her clothes ............ and the fcuking worst of it? My two girls. She lives with this cnut now. I cant give a fcuk anymore. I was knocked down and my heart ripped out of my chest, but that pain is over. Now? Now I have to live with the everyday pain of not having my kids in my house. Next week, the 25th is the first ruling with the judge for the kids and who pays what debt until it is sorted out. That is the short version of it. It got REAL fcuking ugly, and I can fill pages and pages of what shit went down, but I cant be arsed.

What implications does that have. Well, like most other divorces, I have to start all over again. I dont have money to spend on my hobbies at all, I have to keep this boat floating as long as I can. So I am getting rid of all my VWs. My Combi Split project is sold. My Fastback is sold. My amt-black 1972(1969 look) Beetle is going. All the parts are going. Everything is going!

Oh, do you feel sorry for me yet? Well, that aint all of it. 10days after she left the house, my motorcycle got vandalised. I got nothing to say, have a look at the before and after pics. They tell more words than I can be arsed to type right now...

So yes, I aint in a happy place (50% of the time)

Hi Zero

No words like 'condolences' or 'sorry' can make things any better, but it is good to hear that you are indeed still with us. Life makes weird twists and turns, and we seldom understand it. Remember that you will always have friends here, and that we are there for you. Please don't hesitate to let us know if there is anything you need from here (myself, Bugger, JohnHoffe, Keagan etc. all stay in a small radius - your ex-homevalley too). Stay in touch!
