RJB Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Its been a tuff 3 weeks with this dang stroke, but ive been out n the garage twice now and did some prep. Im a bit slower nowadays, but super really nice to get out to the garage, (Prep Lab). Here is 3 concretions. One turned out to be a BFN!! I hate those, but its very common. I hit carapace on the other two. Im gunna need some time to get these finished, but the good thing for me is that Its practice that will get me good enough to finish up that Tumido I was working on before this happened. More pics later as I get out to the garage and do more prep. RB 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plantguy Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Hey RB, glad to see/hear you are still after them dudes! I've had to ratchet back a bit myself and it takes some getting used to. Enjoy those crabs!! For some reason I didnt picture you going thru the top of the concretion like that...I know I've seen your prep stages before so I guess my memory is fading way faster than I thought. Interesting to see the beginnings of greatness. Keep after them! Regards, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darktooth Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Hey Ron, I would have been impressed for you starting prep on just one crab already. And here you go and start 3! That is awesome! I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludwigia Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 It may be tuff, but you are obviously one tuff guy to be coming back like this so quickly after a stroke. You are extremely lucky after all is said and done, but don't let that happen again! Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

thelivingdead531 Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 I’m glad to see that you’re still trucking along! I always enjoy your prep threads, and you make those crabs absolutely stunning (this is coming from a girl with a phobia of crustaceans). Take your time recovering, and we’re all glad to see you staying active. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJB Posted May 9, 2018 Author Share Posted May 9, 2018 Ok, like usual, these crabs have turned out to be less than B-Grade crabs with lots of problems. It was nice to get these started and be out in the garage, but this is as far as I go on these to dang things! Just the way it goes. These are going into the trash pile. The trash pile is getting bigger. RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Um. Ron, ... I think you should consider selling your trash pile.
