It was kinda funny the way it happened. It was summer and I woke up in the morning with my left side of my chest hurting. When we got to the hospital the waiting room was PACKED. The nurse took one look at me and when I said I had chest pains, 30 seconds later I was flat on my back in the emergency room. Talk about fast response!

I guess they take it serious when an old fart comes in complaining of chest pains............lol

That would not be a bad place to be........
I'll just move out there, and take care of all the machining for ya man

Sounds like a good plan. I just have to talk my other half into it!

Once we settle in on the NC property, we're going to rv all over, and your place is one I plan on stopping for a while at


One good part, I hauled 2,400 lbs of sheet aluminum in today too. nice chunk of change. I wish it were sheets of copper though, lol

I have a buddy up in Clarksville Md with an old school one.
That's a fun place for a GTG, test and tune. We always have a ball!

I'm going to keep an eye on this one. I just might bid on it if it doesn't go to high. I know enough racers around here (including my SIL) that it would get a ton of use. For a price of course.........

You'll recoup the money in a short amount of time. Dave stays busy, especially with the tuners
