      As you can see from the comments you have a great fan base and support network. We all care that you personally are mending yourself more than making videos! I look at it as one of my favorite shows is on hiatus. Looking forward to 2023! Get well! Be happy! And Happy Motoring!

      Hear, hear! Sometimes we humankind just need to sit back, repair and rebuild OR we collapse. Good on you both for recognizing you MUST take care of yourself BEFORE you can take care of others. We fans are happy you guys are doing this R&R. We're looking forward to the NEW and recovered Flying Sparks Garage 🙂

    Aaron. Your way of talking to us the viewers is so genuine. You Sir are a rare breed. No explanation is necessary. I'm glad and hopeful for your recovery. I quit watching all TH-cam videos that are just for views. If it isn't for learning or education, I'm not watching. Thank you both. You are a smart man with your knowledge.
    Love the vice grip garage hat.

    Car shows on TH-cam are a dime a dozen, the few that stand out do so because of the people involved. A big part of what I've enjoyed here is the relationship between the two of you and the fun you seem to have together.
    Glad you're taking time to care care of yourselves. Thanks for sharing your journey with us.

    Thank you for sharing this. My appreciation for this channel just went through the roof. I quit drinking in 1995. It will literally save your life. It's all about love. The channels I like and follow the most are the ones that share the love. Your interpersonal relationship is wonderful, and I am glad to be able to share in it.

      Hear, hear. Couldn't agree more Lynn. I'm just glad to see this update.. Take that time to yourselves. Post when you can and remember it's not the quantity that counts, but the quality. Your content has always been amazing, especially the relationship between you two (not forgetting the kid :) ).

    Aaron, I am so glad you are getting better. Being 20 years + alcohol free I can attest to the improvement in health (both mental and physical). AA has been a real help. You are not alone. My love goes out to both of you.

    You both have your priorities straight. If you dont have your health you dont have anything. I went through something similar and know what you’re going through so I sympathize. Post when you can and when your ready, I think everyone will still be here. I know I will. Prayers for you both.

  • @akirby4155
    @akirby4155 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    There's a saying, "when you're going through hell, don't stop." That resonated with me through your entire video. Grinding will eventually take it's toll. Loving yourselves first and loving one another through difficulty just means your metal is strong. Personally, I loved your boat series. I wish you'd do another boat, but I recognize that that was circumstantial. It just never seemed like you were "grinding" when it came to the boat. You have my prayers for healing, health and prosperity. God Bless!

    The best and most important rebuilding project you are doing is your relationship. Remember to always be there for each other no matter what. My wife left after 28 years of marriage, I regret that I didn’t work harder. I love and miss her very much. I see the love that you both have for each other, always keep building on that.

    @Stuka87 2 ปีที่แล้ว +27

    I love watching your guys content, but I can't imagine somebody actually getting angry that you guys aren't uploading. Especially knowing what you two have had to go through. When you start uploading again, we will be here to watch it. Until then, I am glad you two were able to take a breather, and its good to see Aaron is getting better, as I can only imagine how rough it has been to recover from that.

      It's incredible how entitled people can get with things that are provided for them by others, for no cost, with no obligation. It's worse when it involves social media personalities or celebrities because those same entitled people tend to forget that those personalities are still human beings, they often act like they're entitled to be rude or attack people because "hey, they should expect it, they're putting themselves out on the internet, they knew what they were getting themselves into". The crazy part is that most of these people think that they are good people in regular everyday life, like being horrible to people online doesn't count or something.
      People can be so terrible.

  • @innerspaceavailable

    Proud of yall. Family first! The channel will be there. Slow down and remember to enjoy one another. So glad yall are moving away from the alcohol. It's a slippery slope and dangerous when things are not going well. Aaron your an amazingly talented man with a wonderful family and spouse. You have nothing to prove to anyone. You have already done that. Breath in and let yourself enjoy being alive with such a great family and spouse. My wife looks at me the way Emily looks at you. That's all you need bro. Everything else is secondary. I miss my 260z that we had with a 327 power glide but we have other toys now too. All the best, Paul and Julie from Mn.

  • @paulschedler
    @paulschedler 2 ปีที่แล้ว +11

    Aaron my man, By admitting that alcohol became a problem to you, you help ME stay sober as well! For having that courage, to tell so many folks at once, you keep it real about everything you spoke about. I needed to hear what you both had to say, and God bless you both!

    I’m most excited about seeing you guys be happy like you are in this video. More than anything, this is an example of what it means to be there for each other. Your openness and candor is refreshing. Also, cute dog and cool VGG hat! Looking forward to whatever. If you’re happy, I’m sure we’re happy!

    A new subscriber here. Texan born and raised in North Texas. Let God do his work in your lives and relationship and career. It’s ABSOFRIGGENLOOTLEY clear that God is in control of things with you guys. And after watching Sick Ward…..That confirmed it. You guys have brought excitement to the average gearhead like me. My great Dad once said..”Always be responsible but NEVER grow up!” That resonated with me throughout my life. I can see that very quote in your videos. I kid you not! Makes me smile every time I click play! Bless the people around you and you will be blessed ten fold. Love you guys!

    Asking for help is the hardest thing in life. Been fighting Stage 3 Type "A" Melanoma cancer for the last five years. It's terrible not being able to leave your recliner and watch the world go by. Those are my two feet in my picture with my Uranium over on the desk.
    But, I really want to thank you and many others for keeping me motivated and occupied in the last five years. I've taken my tablet to every treatment, doctors, oncologist, test, scan and hospital visit. Feel free to edit.

    I remember seeing the episode where you told us about Aaron being hospitalized. So glad to see you are getting better! You both have been missed! Actually, make that the three of you: can't leave out The Kid! 😄 All of you make Flying Sparks fun to watch! Not to mention the fact that sometimes we pick up useful tips. Keep Flying Sparks comin! GOD BLESS YOU ALL!

  • @daleshisler2955
    @daleshisler2955 2 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    Glad to see you taking a break to work on yourselves. You put a lot of yourselves out there. Take a break whenever you need it, we’ll be here when you are. I can understand Aaron’s adjustment with alcohol. I had a terrible struggle with alcohol (fully functional, but drank heavily every night). Got clean at 32 years old. Was good for 21 years, but about a year ago I relapsed. Was ok for a while but it spiraled out of control again. So, weeks ago, I sobered up again. Hardest part is making the decision to make the changes you need to and breaking the habits you get set into. The money I’m saving is crazy REALLY significant too.
    Thanks for the talk, looking forward to new content ahead for the year! Be well folks.

    As a content creator who has struggled through the pandemic, family deaths, and some career uncertainty I feel this so much. My mental/emotional strain has limited my creative time and energy. Especially since I was recently hit by a car and for the last 6 weeks I haven't been able to walk. That said, nothing wrong with hitting the pause button, taking time to reset physically/emotionally/mentally. Have to take care of yourselves first. So you're not the only ones in this situation and your journey outside the garage is just as much of an inspiration as what you do in the garage. Keep it up!

    I'm glad everyone is on the mend, and we did miss you greatly. we are here for you. If you need any lighting, camera, audio, or microphone advice, please drop me a line.

    I wouldn't say it's disappointment, but it's kinda like not getting a phone call from a friend for a little while. You miss them, and you wanna talk, but sometimes life is in the way. The disappointment is that we don't get more of you in our lives! We miss the content, but we're always here to support you!

  • @PedalBox
    @PedalBox 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    It's got to be so frustrating having to stop yourself doing things that you used to do like second nature in the shop, and not being able to do it is doubtless disheartening to say the least. A break to step back, reassess, reorganise and restart with some things offloaded (editing) must feel so great. Glad you're getting back together, content be damned, you're better off looking after yourself first.
    It's sad that people gave you grief for not uploading, especially having said "hey, things went sideways, we'll be back!"

    I'm so glad you guys took time through your struggles to slow down and regroup. It can only improve things going forward. It makes me sad that you and other TH-camrs have people randomly dropping by. It's sad that people don't know better and can't understand boundaries. Can't wait to see what's coming on Flying Sparks Garage, you're one of the most wholesome and humble automotive TH-cam channels.

    Proud of you guy's I kinda went through the same situation but I was a addict and changed my life around but my wife didn't want to change so I had to get a divorce and move to another town. Life is a lot better now met my soul mate and it changed my life and as a car guy and a full time mechanic just off on weekends with 10 projects at home I'm just burnt out and don't feel like working on them. But I've learned if we can't count on each other nothing else matters and now that I have that I'm a whole lot happier you guy's take your time and I happy for you your true fan's will always have your back.

    First of all, thank you very much for sharing your life and this video with us!
    For 2023, I wanted to unsubscribe some of the 372 channels I was subscribed to.
    I got it down to 100. One of those channels was this one, I now have 101 because of this video.
    I'm crying my eyes out right now. I'm grateful for finding the time to reconnect with you dear ones!
    I hope you and your dear families have a wonderful new year! Lord be praised!! P.S. I was born in 1958.

    I just found your channel this week. I really enjoy the real, honest tone of your videos and the respect that is given Emily by not focusing on bikini shots etc. As you stated in a boat video this isn’t the place for that. Remembering that we can only give what we have within, your absence to recharge was well spent. Thank you for sharing both your joys and struggles. Showing that life is challenging yet so rewarding. You are appreciated

  • @SpyderGarage

    Take your time guys! I can relate after this past year with my gf of 6 passing away, and my father. Took a while to pull out of the rut and drinking became a problem so much so I ended up in the hospital for a week. Still working on getting back on my feet so I can start posting videos again, and the real ones will stick around and be patient.

    I wouldn't want it any other way. Not that I wasn't wondering how y'all were doing, but I think it is awesome that you two took time for yourselves. I say take all the time you want, after all, the most important thing in your lives is you two, and being healthy for yourself and for each other is the only thing y'all should have to worry about. I for one will be here keeping both of you in my prayers, and I'll be here when y'all start posting again. It is good to see you both doing well, and hearing that you got away from alcohol. I did that 7 years ago, and it wasn't easy, but it was worth it. Much love, peace, and respect.

    I know that all of us have missed you. It is really great to see you again and glad that things are on the mend. I quit drinking way back in '89 and have not a single regret so hang in there Aaron, it only gets better! Emily has shown her wisdom by delegating the editing part of her job. That will take an immense weight off her shoulders and give y'all more time for those important things that you love so much. Best of everything for you!

    Extremely happy to hear you guys are refocusing and taking care of yourselves. It is extremely hard to do but very much needed for one's self being.

    Aaron and Emily, it seems a lot of genuine people who happen to have a TH-cam channel are stepping back, analyzing their past experiences with content production, and regrouping. That's a necessary healthy thing and we appreciate you being candid about needing some time off for that. Wishing you the best and looking forward to you next TH-cam video's when you are ready. Love you. Thanks for Sharing!

    The time away is what you needed and anyone who is pissed about it are not true fans. Glad you guys took the time for each other. Looking very forward to new episodes, but don’t over do it. You guys are awesome, and we’ll be here.

    Nobody should ever knock you for taking care of yourselves. A break (even when forced) can breath new life into you. I just started my channel a couple of months ago. I can totally sympathize with amount of time spent editing. It’s crazy how much work it is. Glad to see you guys. 😊

    Love your videos and enjoy the great chemistry that the two of you have and share with your viewers. Sure enjoy the engine transplants you have performed in the Z-Car, Love Truck and hope you do more of that work. I have learned a lot just watching what you do and am amazed at how brave you are to attack some of the complicated projects without a lot of training and a learn as you go technique. I wish you much success and financial rewards, you deserve it.

    Good job! I struggle with ptsd and some new found depression, it’s tough to get out to the shop lately and work on projects/post videos. One day at a time… sometimes it’s one minute at a time. Being honest and open is a great healer. You guys are a great team!

    YOU guys matter to each other first! Much love and support from my wife and I coming your way. You guys are wise beyond your years… took me twice your age to realize sometimes I need help and sometimes needed to learn it was ok to ask for help. When I was young in school with many of us struggling to learn, a teacher said “Life is hard be the yard, but by the inch, it’s a cinch” he said sometimes you need to stop, step back, reevaluate and take the problem on in smaller bites and even team up when allied for solving a problem or reaching a solution. I certainly lean on family and friends when in need and higher places when the going gets tough and too heavy to carry alone. Never feel guilty putting y’all’s well being first… we got your back. I will wave and smile if I see y’all at Iola car show in July. I took lots for myself from your video so you are still helping others.

    Aaron talked more in this video than in all other videos combined and then he says I sobered up and that explains
    EVERYTHING Good for him. He has been reborn. Remember who is large and in charge and it ain’t you Aaron. You’ve been given another lease on life.
    You and Emily are the BEST TEAM in LIFE and on YT

    Glad to hear you all took time. I lost my 13 year old daughter last January unexpectedly. It’s over said but a tragic event like what Aaron went through or what we went through changes your perspective and priorities.
    Good for you to figure that out. Do what you want and what you love. We’ll see that and I bet the channel grows more when you are having a blast.

    I came across your videos when you bought the big boat and have only been able to watch sporadically; but, I love watching your videos. You seem like great people and have a close relationship. I give you so much credit for putting yourselves out there, especially in a video like this. I had no idea about the health issues. I'm really glad to hear you're doing better and are moving forward both professionally and personally. I look forward to continue seeing videos. Thank you for letting me, and your other viewers, into your lives.

We are here for you and support you in this fun journey!! GOD Bless you guys!!

    Could never be disappointed if neither one if you keep it 100 and 10% of yourselves in every episode and that is why people love you y'all are real and I'm proud of you it was a lesson I had to learn as well how to let go of some things and let others do it and it's still hard to this day I was affected by a drunk driver 11 years ago that changed my life so keep up the good work and love what y'all do

    Good for you two to take time for you. It should be encouraged. Tavarish is a great example. That man has had a rough time lately, but he took some time for himself and his family, and he's just starting to get back at it. Hopefully he's doing well, and I hope you two are doing well. Cheers to you both.

  • @dougdickson6849

    You folks are such an inspiration. I am glad you have put your health and relationships a priority. Delegation is one of the most difficult and rewarding things you learn in business. Giving others the chance to work with you, to feel like they own their jobs and can be creative has huge benefits for everyone. Not everything works, so you execute, assess, adjust and execute again. I have built a few small companies in my 81 years on earth. Teaching and learning keeps one young. Being in sync with each other is the best. Taking time for meditation, exercise, reading and prayer will even out the hills and valleys of life. God’s Blessings on you and your family.

    This whole concept of sharing your lives through TH-cam is an experiment and there are many lessons to be learned on how to do this and still have a “what we call an school normal life”. Keep your focus on the things that are most important and it will all work out great.

    Thank you guys for sharing this! I’ve gone through some similar changes in my life (ironically around the same time - my wife and I were literally watching this with a “wow, that’s been us!” kinda feeling). Appreciate the candor and can’t wait for more episodes on your time, your way. It’s the most important thing, I believe, to creating a genuine, authentic channel like you guys have created. Also, having friends involved and help who believe in the mission (and don’t just care about the camera) makes these builds so fun. Hope to see you guys around soon!

  • @Rick-O-Shay60

    Everyone has to take a "time-out" once in a while to refresh, refocus, and reflect on their lives. You guys have that chance, which I appreciate. It's encouraging to see that Aaron is doing well and has made the right choice to lead a healthier lifestyle. I wish you great success and am eager to see the new videos you guys will be releasing on your channel. Good luck to you all and stay healthy.
