Good luck with the surgery, and lets schedule the trip when both you, and Chief are available.

Big Texxan, are you around Buford?

Well at least if you spend that kind of money on your truck I might feel bad about the 390hp crate I want from summit.

Done that plenty of times, and 1 time (will never do it again) I got blackout messed up, and rebuild the top end of a Mustang... Everything was flawless, but I dont like not knowing when someone thanks me. Drinking calms and helps me think better when Im on a very intense project, or organizing my project plans

heres the 63. Back burner, restorations come last to my daily work at the shop.

Got it sent to paint at 5 tonight. This car was a nightmare, especially when insurance doesnt believe you when you say the pillar and hinges are bent.

I am still alive,

We spent the last 2 evenings at the birthing center at the hospital. Since Monday evening the wife suddenly has high blood pressure and has had a splitting headache. They run a bunch of tests, give her a shot or two and then send us on our way. As long as the little guy is not under any stress they are going to try and ride it out as long as possible.


The last 2 afternoons I drove like a mad man from Ft. Benning back home. I got the call yesterday afternoon while I was heading to get the second round of shots in my knees and then the race was on. I made it in record time yesterday, 2 hrs and 14 minutes from the hospital at Ft. Benning to Rome. The boss called last night and gave me today so I can take care of the wife and not endanger other drivers on the road!!!


Sorry to hear about the tear Hugh, leg problems really are the worst.

So you were driving like everyone else. Hope the wife is ok.

I want to try and stop this developing trend of a scope on the knee every year. After I get well from the lt one then we get to look at the rt one. Already got the cortisone shot on the rt one.

1 floor jack, no dollies, and 2 people, and a **** ton of stuff scattered. I found some old Chevy engine parts, a couple dodge engine parts, etc. I have too many engine parts, trans parts, exterior things. I need to clean or sell
