Hello Everyone

Sorry I've been gone so long.

Had trouble with the wife.

Left me for another man, moved to san jose, then sent me divorce papers...

Simple things like that...

Hope to be here more often now though. fingers crossed.

Looks like I have a lot to read. there be changin' goin' on here.

Let's hope for the best.

Let me say that I have been there brother, and I can totally empathize with you. Trust me when I say that it WILL get better. Keep the faith, it will.

Secondly, welcome home to the Norcal Chapter. Yes, you are correct when you state that there are some exciting changes. There is alot of interest in making this thing work. I am confident that the chapter is just in it's infancy and that there are some good times ahead. If we all work together, we can do something really good with this opportunity.

See ya on the boards and at the chapter meets.

Good! Wives come and go, but a good truck is hard to find!

Everything is going as well, as to be expected. Got the house halfway done, doing it in sections. The bathroom is like a swamp, so there is a new toilet and floor in it's very soon future. Just did the living room floors, and 2 of the living room walls. All wood, put a coat of sealer on them. after that just a few gallons of paint and the interior is done. Then this summer sometime a fresh coat of paint for the outside. Then the house should be done.

As for the truck, it needs a new power sterring pump. The old one is making noise in the bearing. There is nothing else wrong that a new paint job wouldn't cure. She has minor paint faults all over the place. Still as long as shes shiny I guess. The old girl is in great shape, but she's not show quality, would like to get her there someday.

Thanks again guys for the support.

Sounds like a plan. Glad to hear that the truck is coming back together.

That truck was in pretty good shape too. Sorry to hear about the roll over.

All I can say is that, in my experience, trucks are a much cheaper hobby to support than marriages. Welcome back.
