Hi....Peter Lombardo and thanks for your comments. I am sorry to answer so late , I had a problem with my computer. I hope someone out there is reading this topic and is considering to use this as a tool for his life. Our experiences are just for others to consider and not to show off. Because I also was there trying to decide what is best for me. And we do not listen to advices , but real stories make a lot of dif. If any other modeler would like to tell his story , he is welcome. I would like to add to this topic my first participation in a endurance race, "Race for the Taste" at EPCOT last sunday, oct.11,09 . There were two categories, 10k and 3k. I did the 3k and won a medal for finishing on time . A non-stop 3k race in 30mnts. I was not expecting to win anything , just wanted to participate. I am happy for this, but I was the only one running in a wheelchair, and when I arrieved at 6:00am at EPCOT I told my self , I AM CRAZY what am I doing here?.....here are a few photos......Above and Beyond...Barbo

Great work ..John, You are a good example of that old saying "Sticks and stones will hert my bones, but words will never touch me" I have also recieved negative words from those that sometimes we think are the best...Doctors, teachers, and some called friends and I have learned to loose to gain more. I am thankfull for having a great family that always say to me "You can do it" and honest friends to complete my goals. Perhaps for many ,this is dificult to understand in life. I remember when Gegg came to Puerto Rico for the first time to our event a few years ago. He was still recovering from his accident , and he made it, it was a long trip. He inspire me in a great manner when I saw him at the airport. A battery must have negative and positive poles to work at its BEST. Its all about Believing...congrats...John....Above and Beyond.........Barbo

Hi..guys, WOW..you realy made it MrObsessive ,I am proud of you. Keep up the good work.........Barbo

Thanks...Guys, life is not easy , its all about believing in your self. And you will see great things happen.........Barbo

Hi..when I started to work in the new company a year and a half ago I had a weight of 185 pounds , size XXL - XXXL and a waist of 46"-48". The distance between the parking lot and my working area was too far for me . I am handicapped and walk with crutches. So I used my wheelchair , but I was too fatigue and tired every day. I determine that I had to do some changes in my life. I started with my eating habits , healthier food and exercise by running around my neighborhood with my wheelchair . Now I am size XL, a waist of 36" , a weight of 147 pounds. And running 1.5 mile once a week. All you have to do is "Believe in your self"............Above and Beyond........Barbo Before and after

Thanks.................Barbo

Thanks to all..........Barbo

I never got to finish my Diorama , but now I did. Jada just made a new series of Diecast , the "Battle Machines" in 1/64 and 1/32. This is my my Diorama with the 1/32 Diecast Chevy Camaro 69............Above and Beyond...........Barbo
