Well guys, here it is, the update to what is going on in our lives. The family is now moved in with other family and we are away from the violence that had surrounded us. So we are all safe. I was never worried about my own safety, I was worried about my kid's safety. With teh hours that the wife and I work, the kids would be home alone for a period of time every night. And it would be like clock work. I was not willing to put my kids at risk just to stay in that house.
This goes out to the members that had negative things to say about the reasons why I moved. GET OFF MY FORUM, YOU ARE NOT WELCOME HERE! If you feel that I made a mistake by protecting my family, then I feel sorry for yours. I will NEVER put my family in harms way and I will do EVERYTHING in my power to protect them. To say that I was pissed off at some of the members here is an understatement. And those members are no longer allowed on this forum. Family safety should be EVERYONES FIRST PRIORITY! I hate to see members leave, but I surely won't miss them.
At this time the family and I are trying to secure a permanent house to live in. the house we are in now is just WAY TOO DAMN SMALL! I mean, I have no desk to do my computer "stuff" on, I have no kitchen table to drink my coffee when I get up, and worst of all, I have no helicopters to play with in my time off. My anxiety level is off the charts, I'm not sleeping and it's showing.
I think that "cold" that I had has now turned into bronchitis and I can't quit coughing. The worst part is, I don't have the money to go see the doctor to get rid of it, I just have to wait for my body to kick it's ass and it's wearing me out.
The new job that I have, well, it's the exact same job, but at the Joint Force Headquarters in OKC, is also wearing me out. If I could just sit back and relax for a while, I think I would be okay. But when you have someone runnign up the road every 2 minutes and you have to get up and check them into the base, that up and down does a number on a "fat boy". And with no sleep and sounding like you are holding your nose, the Generals look at you kinda funny lol. Lots of high brass here and I'm not used to that. The highest rank that I had to deal with in Lex was a Major. Here, it's everyone from every level of the military.
So I was right, life can get worse than it was. But the family is safe, and that is all that really matters right now. We will find a house soon and we will be moving again, but this time, we are in no rush to get it done. First is the bedrooms, then the kitchen (I have to have my table), then the living room and so on. Most of my garage is going to stay right where it is and some of it will go awya for good. I just don't use most of it.
So my life is changing, my life in this hobby is changing, and quite honestly, my roll here on RCH is changing. I have pretty much become the "webmaster" for the forum, and the members have kept the help going. I try to get on here when I can, but it's not as often as it used to be. But I'm trying.
To the members that have made a donation to help make my situation better, a HUGE thanks from my family and myself! It just goes to show that there are still people out there that do in fact care about "the other person". I still think of myself as a nobody in this hobby that makes little to no difference. I keep doing it because I love doing it, I love this hobby. But every day I get emails, PM's and comments on videos that remind me exactly what I'm doing is what people are looking for. I have never required anyone to pay money for any of the services that are on this forum or on youtube, but you members have shown that you are ready to open your wallets "or paypal as the case may be lol" and help a fellow RC'er out in their time of need. There have only been a couple donations, but let me tell you, it doesn't matter, the thought of knowing that someone actually cares for someone they have never met enough to open their wallets is beyond anything that I have seen before. and for that, you guys that have donated get a HUGE thank you from my family and I. I will find a way to repay you all when we are back on our feet.
for those that are looking for an update to the RCH 600, just keep looking because there is no update. The 600 is sitting on a shelf at the top of the garage all alone and there are no plans to pull it down any time soon unless something changes. Gaba and I have talked and we think that this new property will be a little better to fly this helicopter.
That is pretty much it at this time. I hate my new job, I hate where we are living, my whole world has been turned upside down and it's horrible. But it will all work it's self out one of these days. I'm just a very impatient person and I HATE WAITING!!! But, looks like I have no choice at this time.
