As long as you're happy is the important thing.

Certainly will miss you Dancat. Family First is always the way to go. Thanks for the 190! I was sorta looking forward to your He-280, but You can't have your cake and eat it too. Take Care Dancat.

[Pat Pattle]

Good luuck and take care Jon, we'll miss you around here.
Many thanks for the help & advice you've given me over the years, it has been a pleasure.

Don't forget that the doors always open! :)

All the best,

[bzhyoyo]

wise choice indeed... nothing to feel guilty about, others wil hopefully take things back from where you left them.
Enjoy your time with your loved ones.

Maybe someone has already seen what follow and You Jon probably have read it as You made the right choice.

"A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was. So the professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was. The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with an unanimous "yes." The professor then produced two cans of beer from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.
"Now," said the professor, as the laughter subsided, "I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things--your family, your children, your health, your friends, your favorite passions--things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.
"The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house, your car. The sand is everything else--the small stuff. If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued, "there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you. Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your partner out to dinner. Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the house, and fix the disposal.
"Take care of the golf balls first, the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand."
One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the beer represented. The professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked. It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of beers."

.......and You earned much more than two beers, I can add.
Again I want to wish You all the best from your life and in the meantime I shall always remember You when I shall go out with Dora.

Cheers my Friend :ernae: and be always satisfy.

I'm very sorry to see you go but glad that life is alot brighter for you now. Your models have dramatically raised the bar and put payware to shame. I thank you for everything you have made and for the technical support you have given me over the years. Your stunning models are an absolute pleasure to fly and have provided many hours of enjoyment. Good luck my friend, I hope you have found true happiness.:guinness:

Thanks to your contribution to CFS3 Dancat !!!! and all the best to you !!!
I've also no more time (a very few time :mixedsmi:) for installing and playing with the new stuffs from all the good men giving their time for CFS3. :applause:
We are waiting for a good news (october...or may be september...) and have start to repaint our apartment...(look like better than all the cfs3 repainting I have tried, and never uploaded here... nobody here are missing them) because of the little angel (let see if she will really be an angel) to come.
Hoping that we will found a bigger one before the end of 2010...
I'm giving my CFS3 to my 10 years old 'little' son... just to keep it on my computer :kilroy:, and will try to visit you regularly... :engel016:

By Jon,

Thanks 4 your contribution!!! Have a great life with your family. Perhaps we'll see you later.

O, before I forget: If you still have unfinished projects on you computer that you're not completely satisfied with, perhaps you can upload them to the beta-section of SOH. Others can can work with them so that the whole community can enjoy all your efforts.

We are waiting for a good news (october...or may be september...) and have start to repaint our apartment...............because of the little angel (let see if she will really be an angel) to come.
