Hope Nancy is going to be okay Gary, I’ve contributed a little as a fellow cat person cannot let a cat or other pet suffer.

Re: A Tanker Needs a Hand
Hi Guys,
I just got home from work and saw all these replies and I've seen the donations going up and I don't know what to say, except that you guys are the best. When I first got into this hobby I had no idea it would come with so much camaraderie and so many truly great guys, but I couldn't be happier about it. It's a very, very warm feeling to know that you guys are there and that we all really do stick together, and all through our wonderful hobby. From here on out being an RC Tanker will have even more meaning for me, and it's not just about the tanks anymore, this has taught me that's it's also about men from all over the world coming together in a common interest that means way more than just the toys we love. I'm sure other hobbies are cool, but to me RC Tanks are the greatest hobby ever.
The biopsy is now scheduled for December 17th and we'll keep hoping that the nasty bugger in my buddy's ear is benign and he'll be with me for a long time to come, making the occasional appearance in the village when I'm shooting videos.
Nancy is in my lap as I type this and we'll both do our very best to repay the wonderful generosity my Brother Tankers have shown to us in this time of need. You guys really are Aces, every one.

Re: A Tanker Needs a Hand

I know wot it feels to lose a pet cat who died of illness. So for Nancy and you, I'll help out to spare you of the agony of losing a loved one.
I am having problems with the gofundme site. Tried to donate but can't for some reason (probably because of my stupid internet connection). Can I send my donation via PayPal instead?
I hope that my small contribution helps. Please give Nancy a nice pat for me. Thanks.

Finally got it working (had to restart the router). Here's wishing Nancy and you good fortune.

Thanks Rick

Hey, Gary..
Just added to the whip round, but by airmail...watch the letter box, as it'll be a few days, I expect.

Re: A Tanker Needs a Hand
Thank you very much, Men, for the replies and donations since I last posted. The PC has been losing it's mind lately so it sometimes takes a minute for me to get back. That was one of the things on the list (fix the PC) before the news about Nancyboy bumped it down a few pegs. Fortunately, over the summer I laid in a good supply of things to do over the winter so I'll still be able to play in the hobby just on what's here till I get past this and start to get back to normal. Today Nancy and I are taking some photos and practicing with the new video camera. Just one of the recent things I wouldn't have bought had I only known. Now that I think about it, it's kinda like I subconsciously laid in a few items, knowing I was gonna need them soon. If only I had been smart enough to get a new impact apple for the new Asp! Then again, I've been wanting to try making a custom LED ring to use with a stock HL apple/mushroom so this might be an opportunity to sharpen the old skill set. Lots to do, lots to do! 
Almost forgot, the biopsy is scheduled for the 17th and hopefully it will be good news. I still need to google the surgeon and see what kind of reviews she's gotten. Which reminds me, if any of y'all think of anything I should be doing to ensure my Bud gets the best care please don't hesitate to bring it up. This is new to me so comments from those with prior experience would be welcomed.
