Thanks to my fellow Rivet Bangers...

Post by Cherokee Driver »

I FINALLY got to here.

I know it is only a start...but it is a start. I got the momentum right now to keep it up and I owe a lot to fellow Rivet Banger "Painless" for his CONSTANT encouragement and availability for advice. Also a thanks to Brad Oliver, who gave me some kind words of wisdom at the Otter which kicked me into gear. And it goes without saying that the rest of you are great inspiration.

As my signature line says it is a "glacial pace"...but I am having a lot of fun.

You are starting out on a great and rewarding trip. Enjoy it, it just keeps getting better; and one day you get the famed RV GRIN. The fun doesn't stop there it just keeps getting better. ENJOY.

Good job! Now keep up that pace - do a little bit every day, even if it's only 15 minutes. You gotta eat that elephant one bite at a time.

Great job! Just try to do one thing a day, even if it's a small job. The plane will come together before you know it.

Excellent start! I agree, just keep at it in bits and pieces, a little each day. Consistency is what counts; not speed.
