bad timing
hey guys first time back on the forum for about 2 weeks the title bad timing does not refer to my 300 inline six in my 69 ranger but about me. I had planned to finish up just some minor things on my truck like touching up the inner fenders which I had already painted a couple of years ago and getting the trim polished but life got in the way again. I am just recovering from a quadruple heart bypass surgery so I am out of action for at least a couple of months you don't bounce back as quick at my age I turned 69 march 5th so at the moment everything is in limbo I am not even allowed to drive my car for 6 weeks that kills me not being able to go where I please when I want. just stuck in the house not even able to get in my garden so everything is on hold at the moment I am hoping I don't have to get rid of my baby but only time will tell I am waiting for my son in law to show me how to post pics anyway enough of my rant but its great to be alive

Glad your still with us. Now's a good time to learn more about the computer.
Search for parts you need, uploading and down loading pictures. And just rest.
Your still young enough to enjoy life for a good long time.

Glad to hear you're on the mend.
You can go to Photobucket.com and set up a photo hosting account there (it's free). Once you have an account, you can upload the photos off of your home computer or phone. It will associate a link to the photos that you can copy the link from Photobucket and then post here for everyone to see. (Very easy).
An example photo from photobucket. (There are different choices where you can attach a link for people to click on and it will take them to the photo or, in this example, the link shows up directly as the actual photo itself).

Proud to hear you came though it OK. I know first hand dealing with heat problems can be a scary thing. Hope you have a speedy recovery.
