colterphoto1 Posted May 31, 2010 Author Share Posted May 31, 2010 Thanks for the support all! Neil, can't believe you recall that dinner- that was the day you cranked up LSI in the parking lot with the power from a laptop, wasn't it? Christy, I'm not supervising anything south of the Mason-Dixon line babe! Iain- great job too mang, must be all that lifting of atomic furniture? Noah, thanks for the thoughts mang (and for using my word - mang). The others will catch on. Bruce, congrats on your upcoming nuptials- a double winner eh? Ben, sadly none of the gigs for now includes using my gear. It's all 'briefcase' gigs. Maybe springboard for getting some of my own though.

thebes Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 45 lbs! My god you're melting away. Quick you must hurry to the nearest Five Guys and restore your natural balance before you melt away. An iinfusion of fries, cheese and beef and you'll be back to normal in no time at all. Hey, it's the least I could do.[] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groomlakearea51 Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Colter is the first person I actually met/ spoke with on the Forum back in 2006 when I was trying to fix an eBay Heresy disaster that I bought... Great guy, Crazy in the best way; keenly sharp wit; a great heart, and an immense resource for Klipsch fans and photographers. He's been down here a couple of times and on his last trip last month, I will say that he looks alot better these days!!! Of course, now he's got him a hot babe, great pro-level road gigs with more coming up, lotsa' good friends on the Forum (and in person)! Michael! Life's good and will only get better. Stay with it bro'!!! [Y] See yah' in the fall hopefully (if the "we're all doomed" predicted hurricane season does not remove our pitiful and insignificant hovel from the face of the earth!).

RT FAN Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Nice to hear that things are going your way, Michael! Who would have thought that losing your job would have had such a positive impact on your life? Glad to see that the light at the end of the tunnel was not an oncoming train. Let's see, New girlfriend, lost weight, working in music again, opened "Roadies", persuing your photography, sounds like the theory of "Change is Good" worked out for you. As we get older, I seem to hear less good news, thanks for sharing some positive info with everyone here. Don't be a stranger. Stephen.

colterphoto1 Posted June 1, 2010 Author Share Posted June 1, 2010 Colter, great goin! Also, is this the wrong thread to ask one more time for Hammer of Thor? I should have your addy here. Burned the CD's eons ago and intended to make neat inserts but never got around to it. The music still works. M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilbert Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Congrat's on the weight loss Colter, 45 lbs is the exact amount I've been trying to loose since forever. It is difficult as hell, and that is an accomplishment. Have fun in Key West, and don't get impatient when driving down there from Miami. Expect slow traffic and plenty of troopers waiting for those not so patient. Key West is a happening place this time of year, hope you don't have any tar balls to deal with on the beach. Cheers to you MC, [8] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted June 1, 2010 Author Share Posted June 1, 2010 I was in the keys late April, just before the oil incident. Took time to go snorkeling the last day I was in town (before driving 7 hours to GLA51's). Hopefully the Gulf will still be there next year, but just in case....

JL Sargent Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Minus forty five? Great news, but remember this. It is a life long struggle. Don't let up! Now for new avatars with that girlfriend in em.[] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted June 1, 2010 Moderators Share Posted June 1, 2010 Key West is a happening place this time of year, hope you don't have any tar balls to deal with on the beach. I would think that would hurt even if you weren't on the beach. [:|] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal Blacksmith Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Loosing the weight will indeed make you feel MUCH better! I lost 180# and it is a different life.... REALLY! The down part is I did manage to put about 15 back on (it is normal for people with the surgery to add back about 10% from their lowest weight) but I don't feel comfortable any more so I have lost 6 of it and am working on the other 9. Keep up the self improvement, you will be the biggest benafactor of your efforts! Congrats on the new life situation, things are looking up for sure!

deafbykhorns Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 I can see you were in the keys since your still wearing the "Keys" shirt and smile in your avatar. Keep living the keys life (I swear by it) and congrats on the weight lost! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colterphoto1 Posted June 11, 2010 Author Share Posted June 11, 2010 DBK - you're right, my early thawing out in FL (GLA51's place followed by KWSWF) has indeed been one of the keys to regaining my smile. Don't know if you guys knew this but I lost an incisor about two years ago and have been going through the very arduous dental implant proceedure. So there was a couple of years where I showed no teeth. Or maybe it's the girl in the picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
