Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
 

Actually that was more like two years ago.lol I need to finish this truck.lol Anyway for a home and hobby builder its a nice machine. Are there better tigs machine out there? Yes. But for a home builder I love this little easy to setup and start running beads on steel, stainless, or aluminum machine. So the answer to your question is yes I'm still in love with my new girlfriend.lol

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build

Man I have not touched that truck in a while. I've been very busy with my family duties lately. I will get back to it soon hopefully.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
 

Need some help, maybe we can all come over and knock out the list so you can get back to being "the truck whisperer"

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
 

That's funny.:haha::haha::haha::haha: more pics please.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
 

Well after that little incident at my place of work I've really just slowed down and started putting in more family time. I'm also finishing up some remodeling after that I will jump back on the truck.
Yeah, yeah, yeah laugh all you want its good therapy.lol

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
 

good for you man. Family time is something you can never get back so spend as much time as you need bud. After all, building these machines is nothing but a hobby or bad habit. It'll always be there when you have time to get back to it. Take care of you and yours first!

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
 

I know how that is, I put mine on hold for 5 years for a remodel.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
 

Yeah getting shot at with a AR15 kind of puts a new perspective on life don't you think.lol

Oh its not going to be that long.lol I hope I finish up what I'm doing real soon.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
 

Geting shot, thats a story, are you ok? I thought you were in IT.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
 

Man I thought all my forum buddies read about this. It happened on 6/7/13 and I posted a thread about the event. Here a link to the thread if you want to read about it. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=583584

Yeah I do work in IT but in a college Library and we had a nutcase come on campus and killed some people and shot at me along with 8 other people. By the way I did not get shot but how I did not get hit is also amazing.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
 

Bam,

I was gonna post a teaser soon but then I realized the issue probably was related to the shooting.

We all like your work but what makes it special and interesting to us is that your photos are good and your personality comes through in your words. Take your time and enjoy EVERY moment. You ACTUALLY "dodged a bullet" - or many bullets. Smell the roses dude, you DEFINITELY deserve to!

Don't know how I missed this, probably need to pull my head out of the clouds more. glad your ok, defiantly a life changer in many ways. wish I was closer I would for sure come and help on the house or the truck. thanks for sharing, hope everyone else is ok too.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
 

Its all good. I'm breathing and thats the most important thing. But as you can see I'm really have not been thinking about the truck or the 55 Sedan lately. But I have been enjoying life and feeling blessed. Now back to trucks.lol

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
 

Thanks Dan

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
 

Bam, sorry I hadn't seen your post of the incident, glad you are fine. Can't put it to words but happy for you and enjoy your family...Jim

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
 

Thanks buddy I really appreciate that.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
 

Sorry Kabwe, my friends went out of town 2 weeks ago and I had a crash course on watching/taming their not so friendly dogs(don't like anyone outside family prone to bite strangers). I sent them pictures of their dogs acting like babies in my lap and they sent me a text calling me a "dog whisperer" classic but still more pics please. lol

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
 

Wow man. Just got caught up on whats been going on with you! Ive never been in a situation with no way out. But I can say that after near death situations, life and the people that you love take on a whole new meaning and priority. When I got back from Afghanistan, I wanted the wife and kids all in the bed with me every night! I couldn't squeeze then tight enough!
When reality hits, dont hesitate to talk to someone about how you feel. We lose more guys after they get home than we do overseas. You and your co worker should keep a check on each other!

At the end of the day, just remember you are in God's plan!

Bam,

I just read the other post too. Glad you are ok. I am close enough that if you ever need anything let me know.

Tim

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
 

Thanks buddy.

It was not even close to Afghanistan I got to go home after my 2 hour ordeal. But I will heed your advice and I am taking it easy and enjoying myself immensely. But it is time to get back to work.lol

You guys on this forum are great. Thanks for all the kind words fellas.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build

It's good to have you here in one piece Kabwe. When you are finished whispering to your truck, I will let you talk to mine. All it wants to be right now is a pile of parts. Awe who am I kidding?, house repairs and kids have me tied down as well.
