I'm retiring out of the Parts Business!

Yepper. 10/17/2018 is my final day. 41 years selling Ford parts is coming to an end. RIP my parts career. Born ?/??/1977.........Died 10/17/2018. So I won't be able to run part numbers on Ford's parts locators. But still the rest. As of right now I don't know if I will have more time to hang out here or less. Myself and my Canadian girlfriend will be going back and forth between her places in Calgary, Phoenix, and her condo in Puerto Vallarta. "TOES IN THE WATER, A$$ IN THE SAND".

If you do it right you will have less time on here... Life is good today. Bikinis and palm trees take priority. I just got back from PR. I could retire there.

Smells like Mexico... Love that line

10/17... I should remember that. It's my wife's birthday! Thanks for the unintended reminder!!!!

When you put your A$$ in the sand, be careful of the sea shells. Enjoy yourself. Congratulations.

Thanks Rich. I enjoy doing things with my hands. But I will learn how to relax AND get things accomplished. Both.

True story. If I get cut I bleed Ford Blue. In oval droplets. I'll be around. Prolly just not as often. I'll have to get used to Jackie's laptop.

Thanks Gary.
I'm aiming for actually working on my 68 F250C/S. Now I will have both time and money! When we are in Phoenix that is. 1st time since I bought it in 2013 I believe.

This is a bit of a blow, Jeff. Bittersweet is the word. We are unhappy that you are leaving but glad that you have a better place to go to enjoy your declining years.
I never met you but I feel I know you well. We are brothers who are cut from the same fabric and we think alike.
You have helped me many times over the years with technical problems. Your correspondence has always been worth reading.
I wish you the best, wherever you go, whatever you do, all your life.

Respectfully,

Semper Fidelis

Cougar John

I do feel the same way John. We do think alike. I will pop in here and there when I get a chance. As I said above, I'm not giving up my Crown (2). I will miss reading posts by people in need of help every weekday. Posts from guys like you who come in with info none of us knew. SOOO many guys on here with SOOO much knowledge and experience. Too many to list here. I am glad to have been part of it all these years.
