Beating Heart

My apologies for staying away for so long!

(I can see you rolling your eyes, Sam...)

Every time I get in my truck I can't help but think of ALL OF YOU here on FTP!

I really don't have anything to say other than I have been enjoying my truck immensely (as imperfect as she is, I THOROUGHLY enjoy driving her!)

Current challenge is obtaining a gas pedal (the kind that bolts to the firewall made out of pot metal - hence almost irreparable) snapped, at the base in two. Can you believe that crap? Anyway, saw them on M50s for about 40 bucks. So WTH am I doing here whining? "Shut up already, damn"- Prince

Friends, after these trying times of mine - you know what I'm taking about - my Wife and I are having a BABY! Speechless is an understatement!

God is good - F U N N Y - but definitely good!!


Paul

It's amazing how far you have come, now a baby on the way. Wow!
It looks to be a ways off, but be sure to tell us about your new baby's first ride.
