Hey everybody...just checking in. I've been offline for awhile ...ended up in the hospital with CHF and other issues. I spent another month in a disciplined rehab facility, and upon release, was sent to my new home where I live with a healthcare worker and have folks watching over me for a few hours each day. It was my desire from the beginning to live in my own home rather than an assisted living facility so I finally made it. I have a large room now so eventually it would be possible to set up a workstation, but I'm taking it nice and slow to give my heart a slow start into a new routine. Hope all is well for everyone here. Won't be long before holidays will be here...so happy Thanksgiving in advance to you all!

Just checking in. Hope everyone is having a fun holiday! It's been super cold for us each morning....I just hide under a pile of blankets until the sun comes out. Merry Christmas to everyone, and have a blessed New Year!

Having your own home has always sounded best to me. Glad it's possible for you.

Just checking in....good to see everyone.
Linda,so sorry to hear of your loss. You've certainly had a long struggle. I hope your heart finally is having time to heal. The stages of grief can leave one drained after awhile, but eventually the sun begins to shine again. I hope this spring brings hopeful renewal.

Be encouraged!

Hi everybody...just checking in. I'm slowly getting back to my laptop computer, and posting videos on YouTube.
So far I haven't had any problems with concentration or fatigue, so I will continue as part of my rehab therapy.
Here's a link to a video of Andy flying the drone.

Hey Stezza...I was editing video files...sorry I missed you. I see where it's getting quiet here lately. Glad you're still hanging in there.

Right now it's 3:30 a.m. Wednesday here on east coast US. Because I tend to be a night owl, I'll probably catch up with you soon.
I'm no longer living in a rehab facility...back in my own home with a nurse room mate....so as I get stronger I can have what I want in my room. Now I can view 3D work on a large wall mounted TV, even YouTube stuff. Now I'm working on getting a decent laptop in order to mess around with rendering and animation again...maybe by Christmas.

Again, so good to be in touch again!

Stezza, it's a good thing I had heart failure last year and got it over with...because I just discovered ShareCG was down and all my freebies were gone.. :eek:...and everybody else's stuff too. I noticed they recommended RenderHub as an alternative option, so I've signed up and jumped all the hurdles in order to post free stuff. I have my old freebies on my archive drive...packed away in the closet...so it may take awhile before I can work on those. For now I just did a few Andy single frame poses and one animated pose to try out the uploading process. It's here at the link below, and I'm using the same blue critter as an avatar to keep things simple.

Do you have any idea where folks are posting their freebies now?
