time to move on

things change, not always as you expect, but its time to clean out the shops. Red 56 going first.

It is sad to all of us when one of our brothers is forced to sell. We wish you good luck in all your future endeavors.

Good luck Sam, life seems to throw us curves just when we aren't expecting them.
I was in a similar position years ago so I think that I can relate to your pain. There is usually a silver lining to every cloud, here's wishing yours comes soon.

Did you have a build thread on this truck Sam, can you give some of the particulars on it? Are the pictures of it that you posted as it sits today?

Sam, Just because you sell your truck doesn't mean you won't be welcome here. You were/are such a integral part of this place for so long. I do hope whatever humps in the road you have bumped across recently are not insurmountable. If you ever need someone to just talk to that has hit a few potholes himself, feel free to PM me, I'm a good listener.
