If anyone is still interested, I'm on the up and up, works no longer a problem other than I still need to go each week to pay the bills,can go all day now and not get knackered, still not much done on the projects as money is still in short supply but I have not given up hope yet and still look forward to getting back into them, as for my weight, well I'm getting "FAT" again, now at 88kgs but still not to bad, just had two weeks in sunny Qld where I caught up with gregh and cruisin-doug for a chat and catch up, next visit to the surgeon is 22nd Dec, till then.

Saw my surgeon and he is a happy man, CT Scan organized for Feb but probably wont know the results till much later when I see either the Oncologist in March or my Surgeon again in June, but thus far I'm feeling pretty good with no lasting problems other than reflux from time to time but if that's all I have to put up with then I'm good with that.

Has it been almost a year since I last looked, bad boy humpyboy yes unfortunatly I'm still in the land of the living it's been 2 years now all is well other than my weight, mid 90's now (so much for having half a stomach) still nothing on the projects, however I have been tinkering with my FJ Panelvan a bit and I still have the Roadcruiser if anyone is wondering, I think that might turn into a retirement project at this rate to many other things to do right now and no spare time for fun stuff but such is life.

G'day Humpyboy, It is so good to hear from you, and to know that you're still tinkering away - even if you are tinkering on the FJ and not important stuff like that Roadcruiser of yours... Don Ricardo

Fast forward from my last update, saw my surgeon for the last time back in May of 2020, 5 years clear and was told not to come back (he's obviously had enough of me) I'm feeling really well, almost like the old me only older, still nothing done to my Van but it is waiting patiently for me to start, I have however been busy with the latest tow car being my FJ Panel Van so who knows what the new year will bring, may even get a start on the Roadcruiser, on a brighter note however with the situation Melbourne has been in I have been one of the lucky few who has been able to work right the way through hence the reason for not having much time to play with the toys, lets hope that 2021 will be a better year for all.

G’day Humpyboy, Great to hear that you’ve passed your 5 year anniversary. That’s wonderful news. Well done to the effort you’ve put into your treatment and recovery (as well as to your docs!). I can still remember the shock I felt when I read the post about your diagnosis, and then the gradual optimism which has grown as you passed each milestone. Wonderful also that you’ve been able to keep working through the Covid-19 restrictions. That’s a real blessing. Now all you need to do is to get back to that Roadcruiser! Don Ricardo

Hi folks, look who has made an appearance! Yes I'm still around and no I've not touched the Road cruiser but she is still sitting there patiently waiting for my impending retirement, still working full time but can now see some light at the end of the tunnel, maybe next year, but will need to wait and see the results on one or two things before I set a date, I'm still plugging away on my FJ Panel Van which is my main project at the moment and getting very near to the painting stage, as for myself all is well nearly back to my pre illness weight (fat) so I'm doing something right or should that be wrong? I don't know, I am looking forward to the future and what retirement will bring me in the way of time to finish my projects and just enjoy myself knowing I am not at someone's beck & call, all the best guys and I will be back one day with pics and stories of my reno of the Road Cruiser. Derk AKA Humpyboy

G'day humpyboy, I don't get on the forum much these days due to time spent on other interests, but I check it from time to time and play the "Wonder whatever happened to so-and-so?" game. Pleased to hear you are still alive and kicking, and you're looking forward to not having enough hours in the day once you retire. All the best for your future! Cheers, Al.

I've logged in for something different , I'm still plugging away with my FJ Van all be it slowly and next year definitely looks like the year I will begin spending more time at home, thinking end of financial year is a good time so that is my aim at the moment, will be giving the boss the good news when I go back in 2023 but I don't think he is going to like it however that won't be my problem, looking forward to doing more on my projects and getting many chores done around the place that I have been neglecting over the years, but first things first, after being cancelled back in 2020 for obvious reasons I will be heading off to Cooma for the FX FJ Nationals after Christmas for some R&R, will try and get back on here more often in 2023 and will need to teach myself how to upload pictures again, cheers to all and a Merry Christmas and Happy New year, stay safe and enjoy the break.

Good on you Derk, it’s nice to have a few projects patiently waiting for completion and it’s good to hear you are looking forward to doing just that. Look forward to your retirement, it’s a worthy ambition 😉
Cobber.

Guess who!! that's right the mystery member, as you can tell I'm still about annoying people, so an update on my so called retirement plans, gave my boss the letter and he took it quite well, not exactly how I wanted it to go but hey, it is what it is, anyway fast forward a couple of months and he stops me on my way out the door to go home and asks me if I would reconsider and stay on doing just 2 or 3 days a week making up the other days from Annual leave and Long service leave (my original request) so that is what I have been doing since Easter and occasionally when work gets a bit quiet I take a whole week or two off which has been great, my Panel Van is now ready for paint when I get enthused and the weather is on my side, once it is done I will attempt to upload a few pics, I hope that it will be finished next year and then I can make a long awaited start on my Roadcruiser, (when I'm retired).👍

G’day Derk, I don’t have much to say on the forum these days but, you are an inspiration in the art of ‘hanging in there’. I look forward to seeing the panel van up and ready to roll so keep at it 😉 Thanks for the updates. 👏
