Morris:

The 56 is on the shelf till hockey's over. Hopefully we'll be done by the end of March. I've been doing a lot of research ( this forum is awsome ) I also picked up some needed items on-line, which got me in severe trouble with my wife. I promised her I wouldn't buy anything till hockey's over, OOPs! I forgot. We're kinda low on funds during the hockey and holiday season. I hope to install the drive-train, power disc brakes, steerin.g column, shifter, and what ever else I've collected. In the mean time I just moniter the forums and dream.

Hello Great White North . Visiting up here to ask a favor. I've got a buddy that collects license plates. His neighbor (autistic/special needs boy) likes license plates. Last year my buddy decided to try to help the boy get his own collection. The list at the bottom is just what he needs to finish it off. ANY & ALL plates are welcome. If you can help, please P.M. me for his address. He'll gladly reimburse postage if you want. Just include a note saying so with your name & address. Thanks!!!


<center>AK, DC, ID, IA, KS, ND, OR, SC, & VT

Other plates will gladly be accepted as well.

He only has 2 Canadian plates at this point (NS and QC) so they would be greatly appreciated from our Canadian friends too, or the members from overseas even!
</center>

A rubber mat is an excellent idea, perhaps a tall stool to rest on occasionally.

Do you guys stretch at all?

Stretching daily will make those pains and aches vanish, or at least reduce them by a ton, regardless of age.

The only thing I've been stretching lately is my right forearm to sharpen my pencil when it needs it.

Lots going on right now... I barely have time to chat with anyone anymore! This saddens me...
