2019.8.6 UPDATE: A New Path?

Hi Folks,

It’s been a while since I had anything for you.  I’ll confess, that was because of something a customer (well, not even really a customer) said to me a while back.  It struck me wrong and it put me off of writing for a while.  If the truth were told, it still has me in a place where I don’t want to write, but I am because I feel I owe it to those of you who do follow me.  So, here we go.

THE STATE OF TMD

First, TMD is doing better than it has since before we moved two years ago.  In fact, the company might be on its best footing since the first year or two after I took it back from my brother.  It’s just going to take a bit more time before you folks start seeing signs of life, that’s all.  But I can assure you, behind the scenes, things are doing very, very well.

MY WORLD

Here again, first things first.  We should finally wrap up the hurricane repairs by the end of August.  This has taken a lot longer than anticipated, but things are going very well.  As I write, there is a crew in the house finishing the molding.  When they are done, I give the house a fresh coat of paint and we’re back to better than before the storm.

Now for the big news.  I have had an opportunity presented to me that I might not be able to resist.  In the past few weeks, I was a guest host on a regional talk radio show.  It doesn’t have a huge audience, but it is the largest regional show in its part of its State.  Anyway, judging by the response from the audience, the host and I were a hit.  As of this moment, I have a monthly guest host spot on the show and it may grow.  If we can figure out how to do it, we are going to try to push things nationally.  So, this will be taking up a bit more of my time and, if it succeeds, it may change a great deal about my life.  But, for now, that is all in the uncertain future.

THAT IS ALL

As I said, I am not feeling talkative these days.  I would rather let my work product speak for me — for now.  If and when that changes, I’ll let you know.  So, until whenever, stay safe and try to build something (preferably something using TMD resin).
