Well, the time has come with something good must come to an end. I am not leaving for ever, but I am taking a sabatical.
Last year was a wash for me and there were somethings that happened at the end of it that made it seem anything but fun (see the ARRC threads).
On top of that, I just bought a new, and bigger house to store my growing family in.
The economy was taking a minor toll on me, but after the house purchase, I guess the wife and I celebrated just a little too hard (pun intended).
#3 is now on the way and if I continue to spend the time away from the house under the hood of my car like I have in the past, I am going to end up with 1 big house and 1 small one....me of course living alone in the small one.
My daughter is going to be 5 soon, so I give it 3-4 years and I will be back. I don't want this thing to sit and rot for 4 years, so I know that someone out there can get some great use out of it. Anyone that has seen my setup (and how it has grown over the last 3 years) will tell you it is nice. You can't beat the combo for the price, but this day in age its hard to find someone that can drop the cash for the whole setup. (what do they call that? catch 22? GRIN).
I'll still be here acting like I know what I am talking about (acting being the key word there) and I'll always continue to support IT-7 and our local Pro-IT series. Don't be surprised if you see me walking around in a white SCCA shirt some this year.
Fletcher (for those of you in the SE) offered me his title of PADDOCK SOB but I told him my BALZ weren't big enough <GRIN>. But I am sure I will keep myself active.
When I come back, I am 100% sure I will be running a rotory...I just don't know if it will have fenders on it <GRIN>.
Keep the faith!
