🦉HELLO SEPTEMBER!🦉
WELCOME TO
MOPAR1973MAN.COM WEBSITE!!
We hope everyone had a fun & safe Labor Day Holiday weekend!!
We MUST inform/remind you all about what is going on with us.
The MAJOR EVENTS Going On (PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE NEWSLETTER) :
1) Mopar1973man got engaged to Tweety Bird, so we have been busy moving household belongings up to New Meadows, Idaho out of Nampa, Idaho. This drive is 3 hours distance one-way! Wedding date is to be determined and will be announced in the future. We have been getting things moved and are now unpacking and organizing the chaos, incorporating all of my things into the house.
2) Landslide & mudslide on May 29th demolished the shop, tools, and equipment plus a bunch of other miscellaneous items stored in it, the adjacent studio apartment being destroyed, as well as having our friend/property caretaker and his dog displaced and moved into the main house. This has been the most demanding event on our plate. We are still working on the clean-up, which seems to be never-ending: sorting through all the mess, trying to salvage anything not as damaged but still useful. Roughly abbout 98% has so far been NOT salvageable! Not having the appropriate tools to even do household repairs is so frustrating throughout all this sorting. Concrete, wood, metal, fiberglass insulation, and smashed up broken items are mostly what we are having to sort out. Then loading up and driving to the landfill to dump the trash. We are tugged away every time a tool is required to do anything that needing a particular tool we no longer have due to this landslide/mudslide, in which we either cannot perform that task or we wait until we can replace said tool, equipment, plus finding a dry and flat space to do repair tasks on vehicles.
3) DO NOT forget that Mopar1973man was forced to get treatment for Bladder Cancer happening Two Times with treatments that demended treatment in 2019 and 2024. He has been and is still trying to adapt to his new life with the ostomy, replacing his removed bladder which requires daily continuous maintenance, where he must stop what he is doing and empty the bag when full. This is what he must do for the rest of his life. It interrupts the flow of daily activities by requiring him to cognitively check his bag's volume. Doing this instead and replaces the average person's ability to be notified by our urinary sphincter signaling our brains to go "pee" when full. Things normally taken for granted by the average person has becomed a changed process for Mopar1973man.com...please remember this a permanent way of life for him. However, despite the physical alteration, he continues to have the knowledge and wisdom AND willingness/desire to assist members.
4) Preparations for upcoming Winter Season. The impact of the mudslide has created an urgency that may be come an emergency if not dealt with prior to Winter predicted and forewarned that this upcoming Winter will be very cold and very snowy. It most likely will be a long Winter for us. Living within a forest requires much work for us to do now. For example, It is mandatory to get a sufficient amount of firewood supply for heat. The wood-splitter is broken, 4-wheeler demolished, vehicles needing repairs now...trucks to haul wood, and wood shed destroyed needing to be replaced. Our chimney is critically needing to be cleaned out this year and cannot be delayed.
5) Website software update & website revisions/additions. The upgrade completed on the website has presented areas desperately needing to be rearranged and modified. This has demanded much attention and work for us and causes us to still work on the website as much as we can do. Pay close attention to the website as we post blogs, announcements, and forums related to these improvements. If you have any ideas or suggestions, please do NOT hesitate to contact us via Forums. Thank you in advance to those who take advantage of this opportunity!
6) Stress Management efforts. In order to deal with all of these major events simultaneously, we critically need to periodically "break away" and remove ourselves from the "scene of the crime" and all the demands of this year's events. This is VITAL to handle the mixture of things, which includes going camping for a short time, introduction of "Titanium" character within the website for kicks, and doing various things or hobbies. Everyone needs to have a little fun from time to time by removing from even our homes to help wind down and "just breathe"in effort to regroup. It generates the fortitude to keep going forward and to stay as sane as possible!
BOTTOM LINE :
A] We are asking you, our members, to PLEASE keep mindful of our situation. It has been overwhelmingly rough and time-consuming to coordinate all of these events simultaneously! Please! We need you to keep patience and understanding while we endeavor to resolve these major events simultaneously, along with helping our members in the midst of all this happening to us. We sincerely value our members.

PM's are EXCLUSIVELY reserved on a "as instructed/requested" basis strictly from staff or Mopar1973man or Tweety Bird. PM's will NOT be reviewed, considered, read, or regarded! We may need to schedule a time for Mopar1973man to break away from his time working on these activities stated above; you have been updated and made aware of just how busy he is currently. As always, we are HERE to help! Indicate if you have a need that is highly urgent or is truly an emergency, BUT ALL requests MUST be submitted and posted within the FORUMS.
