Happy Holidays (OT)

Hii all, I just got the laptop from my wife, of course the battery is on empty, but I just wanted to wish every one of you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy Holiday Season. We are still in a shelter but the insurance company's have said the checks are in the mail since Dec 8th. The holiday mail is always a little slow and having our local P.O. closed until this last Tuesday just added to the delay. But heah, I'm pleased. They say we can now access our property, so I will take a better pic of the F1 for those that were interested in a better pic. But this post is not about me, it,s about the holiday's and all the support and generosity that I have received and continue to receive from all of you. You have made our day to day needs obtainable, our hearts full of love and hope, and we are so very grateful. Well the battery is ready to cut me off, so as always, ROCK ON, and remember to pray for Paul (imsoquazy) and his beautiful family, as he approaches his latest health challenge. "jimmy"

Merry Christmas Jimmy to you and all your family.
Great to hear from you.
Yes, please send a few pictures of your truck when able. Who knows, some of us have brought total rust buckets back to life with nothing but a frame and a set of pedals to start with. Maybe some of it can be salvaged? Someone here might be up for the challenge. I know I would if I wasn't 3,000 miles away from CA. We could call it the Phoenix.

Merry Christmas Jimmy! If you see my friend Eric Bowden from Austin and his family out there
in a shelter … say hi to him for me. Let's work on getting you back into a truck when you get back
on your feet & get settled.
