Back, At Long Last
OK, it's been an eventful year. When I was last active last March my truck was stolen while I was having cardiac surgery 
and I said I would replace it. My wife said no way but I kept looking 
. The end of June I had a heart attack 
and three days later she filed for divorce, and I still had not had a settlement from insurance on the truck and was stuck without a vehicle. So I bought a 2011 Mustang GT in August 
, hard to find a good 7.3 on short notice. October the same dealer received a 2001 7.3 on trade with 70K miles, dealer serviced, garage kept, so I bought it . I didn't want to cause issue with my divorce so I kept silent, though I did buy stuff from Clay. Well, yesterday my divorce was completely final 
(judge signed it) and none of that matters now. I have just renewed my supporter status for three years. My old truck was stolen with 370K miles on it and I bought this one with 70K miles. Great to be back!

Thanks to all, it's great to be back. With all that was going on bad, the Lord healed my heart. The docs all said my Ejection Fraction could never improve from the 20 (15 is heart transplant qualification) that I was at (my first heart attack in '03 was vicious). Through prayer it is now a 45 and 50 - 65 is a normal heart function. So I made it through on the positive side.
