What's new?

Hey Guys,

Well, I guess I'm back.

Except for a short period last year, I think I've been gone about 2.5 to 3 years. Had/have some health issues, my wife had some serious health issues and my head just wasn't in it....

Was talking to my good freind Bobby Thompson a week or two ago and was deeply saddened to hear of RandyJack's passing. He was a great guy and helped my out several times with design issues on my truck - even helping me to copy his nifty flush hood handles.

Any other changes here? Are all my old freinds still here? Dewayne, Penn Dick, Cousin John, Axracer, Kevin, Andrew, Nathan and a few who's names excape me at the moment ( it's been a while).

BTW - when I was last here, I was trying to wire my truck and having lots of grief with it. It's now 98% wired but I actually had to break down and pay someone to do it. While they seem to have done a great job - it was not without some problems that I'll need your help with to fix.

Anyway, I'm back. Missed you guys.


RMF

Great to hear from you Robert. My absence was a lot longer. Most of those you mention are still around, at least part time anyway. Cousin John had a few orthopedic issues (surgery). He comes around typin with one hand now and then. I was on hiatus playing with my Mustang for a few years. My truck is ready for some re-resto now so stopped back for some advice and stuck around.

Let us know what the wiring challenges are. Surely we can work through them. Look forward to seeing some of your creativity around here again.

Fergie ol' Buddy,

Glad to see you found your way back in the door. See, I told you there were some of the old scoundrels who remembered you.

I'm willing to help with the wiring whenever you're ready. I'm no whizz but I can usually muddle my way through it.

Welcome back
Bobby

I'm still around. Had a near death experiene on top of mountain SE Kentucky last fall but other than that never exciting. Good to see you back. I always wonder about the old guys stop showing up.

It'd be nice if.there was a way to let us know if a member hasn't been on for while. We could check on the person make sure everything OK. This group is one big family. I know if something happened to me no one from family would let you guys know.
