@randallshields56 Greetings, friend! I really appreciate your authenticity and your fresh perspective. Reading through your responses really helped to reframe my own, not to mention, I saw a lot of myself in some of what you said. For instance, I really enjoy encouraging people - with true hope, not falsities. I was that person who always felt alone until I came here, then the community really rallied around me - yes, moderators / mentors included!! (great job, y'all!) - and it made a huge difference. That's one of the things that keeps me coming back. I'm sorry for your struggles, but grateful for your journey and your willingness to share with others. Lol and, you remind me a lot of my Dad - he's been a lifelong mechanic (military, etc) and one of my favorite past times was riding in his '56 red chevy 🙂 I love fishing, too, but have never fly fished yet! Hope to try it someday. Glad you're here.
