Okay. Perhaps it has not been that long. When was it that we last talked?
May 26, 2017
9 years, 1 month / 109 months / 474 weeks / 3318 days
Okay, you showed us the numbers, but what does that really mean?
How long has it actually been?
It has been so long that:
Jaiden is now 19 and he graduated high school in May of 2025. He has an 89 Jeep Wrangler and his own Comanche. He has gone through two Lexuses (Lexi?) and a BMW. (No, he did not wreck them, he just traded up.)
Russell is now three and a half years old.
We have lived in two rentals and a purchase.
I have worked in five shops – Sick Customs, Brown’s Classic Autos, AZ Department of Transportation, Nikola, and Lucid
We have gone through two more J10s, a Lexus IS300, four vans (two Astro, two Express), another Comanche, a Civic, a Lexus CT200h, a Pontiac GTP, a new Camry Hybrid, and an Express 4500 short bus. Oh, and we still have the Jetta.
We have had the dog (Roxi), a pig (Hamilton Snortimer III), some 30 chickens, 3 bunnies, 8 koi fish, and 2 gold fish.
The US has been through two and a half presidential terms and we have all been through a worldwide pandemic.
Artificial intelligence went from being a thing of science fiction writing to actually helping to write science fact.
Your then third grader is now old enough to vote [here in the USA, aged 18+], and your then middle school student can now legally drink [again, here in the USA, aged 21+].
Yes. Yes it has been that long. I am writing now to let you know that, although time has passed, and projects have come and gone, I am still here, and I am still building. Expect to see more updates in the short future.
