Good luck tomorrow, Todd. I'm sorry for your loss, more so for the friendship lost as we all gotta get our ticket punched sometime. Shop time is great therapy, 'cause it's going about the business of living your life. Flow, creation, whatever you want to call it. With something tangible (and in this case, beautiful) you can hold in your hands, made by your own hand and the force of life from within. Your heart.
Saying goodbye is never easy, especially with major unresolved shit, but I'm sure you know that. And I'm guessing that as much as you think you don't want to be there tomorrow, you need to be there tomorrow, for yourself as well as your late friend and those he left behind. I have tried to make those occasions a time for introspection and embracing the present moment, not always successfully.
I hope that's not too preachy. Godspeed to you and your friend.
And that bowie is starting to look....yeah, superlatives fail me. Outrageous? Amazing? Something along those lines.
You know, I'll quit going on about this but its only because its consumed my mind ever since I got the call Thursday night. I really appreciate you saying what you did Granite. Your right, wheather its for me, him, his family or the situation, I need to be there. I know that. I've played every second of our relationship over and over since I found out he passed, and as guity as I feel, I can't say id do anything differently, I had to do what I had to do to protect my family, I couldn't allow the toxic person that he became to be around my kids that I try to raise the best I can. (Its bad enough that Murph is here

The thing about the Brass back.I don't get the chance to do something that I want to do anymore in my shop, don't get me wrong, I'm very happy and blessed to do what I do but as far as something that really gets me excited, its projects like this one that when I'm in the shop working on it. Nothing bothers me. As crazy as its sounds, its very hard work, but yet its very relaxing to me. Its calming.
Thank you Granite.............
