Hey Jimmy,

Good to see you postin'. I've been just watching for the past couple of weeks myself; But good to see that you're puling some of us out of the hiatus.

There might be a few sore days, but it's the attitude that keeps things moving.

Hey Jimmy,
We miss you! I still remember you posting a pic of your exhaust
project with like 100 exhaust pieces & you successfully put it all together! I've got 2 teenagers who had their wisdom teeth out this week - you know there are some things make you glad you aren't a teenager any more. Hang in there!

I was wondering why we hadn't heard from you!! Getting old-guy symptoms can really suck... Getting old does, however, beat the alternative of not getting old!

Hey Jimmy! Glad to see you around. Missed your presence. Gonna go ahead and send up a prayer for you. No sense in "saving" them. Get better my friend.

Nice to hear from ya Jim. Sorry to hear about the aches and pains... i can certainly relate.

Words I've begun to live by-
"Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "HOLY S***... WHAT A RIDE!!!

On a good day I work on my c4 prodject, wich is coming along, and yes Im taking pics. Well thats it, I just didnt want you to think I bailed. Ill be on the board ASAP. Miss you guys.

Hey Jimmy, shortly after my last post to you I suffered an aneurysm. I find myself in Sac town under the care of some special people here. I guess 6 days had gone since my last post. This is my first chance that I opened my eyes and I cant remember if I've said my prayer for you or not. I hope all is well with your RA. I know i'll pull through my stuff. Stop by if your in town I'd love to meet you. Wish it were under different circumstances.
Paul
