It's over for awhile.

[Tubby]

I started back to school this fall to get a new certification to add to my teaching license. This has really put a damper on my time to race and tune my cars. It has also meant that I have had to leave the track folded up to the wall for almost 3 months. I know I know, it made me feel awful to that. This semester is over finally and I have about a month before my next one starts. I celebrated this weekend with a 6 hour all out every car own racing event with a fellow slotter. I am looking forward to finally getting a ton of racing time in. I am thinking about moving in to one wing of Bibbster's mansion. :lol: Anyway I just wanted you guys and gals to know I have missed you and racing, but I am back, at least for a little while. All my time away worked I have a 4.0 so far.

Good Stuff!!!!

It sux when our 1:1 worlds encroach that much on our shared hobby, its not good and it sure isn't healthy (we ALL need our downtime).

I was in a similar situation earlier in the year, my job was impacting big time on all areas of my life and I had to make some really tough decisions.

I'm glad I did, I've got a balance in my life again and the chance to enjoy my slot cars (like you my track/cars would see little use over extended periods).

Enjoy it mate, there is nothing at all wrong with it :)

I hear you, 1 last test in the AM and I have a little time off, glad you are holding a 4.0 I slipped a little in fluid technology, but I am holding a strong 3.8
rock on little buddy,

[HomeRacingWorld]

Good to hear sir, sounds like it's time for a road trip :)

Tubby,

I am glad to hear you are gaining knowledge for your occupation. That is an awesome thing to do.

A good friend and sidekick decided to go back to school and learn a completely different vocation. It is a two year program and he is just over halfway through. Like you, he simply 'folds up' the slot car stuff and puts it out of his mind - at least as much as he can - until he gets a semester break.

Keep up the super work.

Overachiever! Glad you're continuing your education and that it hasn't killed you.

The racing sounds like a great break!

I called DIBS on the North Wing of Bibbster Manor way back in June.

Nope, David. That's the north light, essential for these artist types. You'll have to settle for the South wing, where there are little campfires in the floor, goats and chickens walking around, and some strange old broad who snatches food from your hand and says, "You gonna eat that?" just before she gobbles it up with no teeth. Its the steerage section of Estate Compound BB, around and behind the vast motorpool area, just in front of the cricket pitch and the airfield. Easy to find. It right along the household hovercraft route.

Congrats on the GPA Tubby my fun time is just starting but happily only until the new year. Then back to normal. Jim

[Tubby]

Thanks everybody! I am 1/5 the way through this program. I keep telling myself I will enjoy the hobby so much more once I am out of the classroom.

Jeremy all I need is the rocking chair in the window alcove!
