Craig Tucker Report post Posted May 17, 2012 Dear Craig, it sounds like you have a good plan in progress. I know that you are too humble to accept but I am awarding you my MVP award (most valuable poster). Scott As you can see, today I'm sort of out of it, but trying. I *try to* keep up with it all... even when what's taken is a bit of a #struggle# for me... even when taken as a positive, perhaps I'll try me, and help me come to a memory, of what ive posted in the past as a sort of a poster wothwhile here? In any case, My memory is very slowly coming back to me, thanks for the I positive chance here, and the idea. [/i] I will accept your claim as accurate and attempt to post as a MVP, at least it gives me an ideal and goal to move forward to - a sort of (lost) hope I can claim! thanks! C Tucker. ct.

scordatura Report post Posted May 17, 2012 Hey Craig, Sorry to hear of your troubles. Not to trivialize, but when one encounters these road blocks we find out (with a little luck) what we are made of! Keep fighting the good fight. Love the Blade Runner quote BTW. My all time favorite movie. I am looking forward to Ridley's next opus. He is due for another home run! Yours in fiddles! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WalterOB Report post Posted June 15, 2012 Hey Craig. I don't know you very well, but I'm sorry I missed this thread until now. I just wanted to say that when scouring old lengthy threads I often chuckle when I come upon your posts - they are frequently followed by an equally lengthy post by you! It's as if you hit the send button, sat back in your chair, and your mind just couldn't leave an idea alone. A character like you is clearly in good company. Get well soon, get well right, and I'm adding you to my prayers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Craig Tucker Report post Posted July 1, 2012 I hope he's doing well, I liked his posts. Well, I'm back to driving already... I drove for the first time yesterday. Perhaps I should be posting more, but, I don't feel anything stirring yet to post about. I have decided a whole bunch of new things that will affect me and how I speak my piece in the future, as if this stroke has changed me in a bit deeper way than I really understand yet. Perhaps since I have decided that my building methodology is going to go through a radical change, so will my posting. Perhaps I will end up posting less than I used to but, I will start my new posts when I start building my new violin. It's in the works now, but not quite in the actual build yet. It's going to be made from my usual - domestic Sitka Sruce, and Bigleaf Maple - so perhaps it will prove interesting... Thanks everyone for thinking of me. And my thanks for posting asking how I'm doing. I'm getting back, slowly, that's for sure, but with great certainty. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So driving and making fiddles eh ...all right! good to hear. Best to you from the north east..... Ahh, thanks James. The "driving" again is pretty cool. Simply taking something I have done before and doing it again. The "making violins" part is interesting also. It promises to be a "new experience" in some ways, with what I hope to accomplish this go round. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd love to meet you there, tho. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
