I spoke with pops a little earlier, he is hanging in there. Mom told me(cause pops was driving) that when the funeral ends they're going to play take me out to the ball game.

There is a Angels hat next to her picture, Grandma was a big baseball fan, Mostly Dodgers until the last few years then mostly Angels. haha

I took her to the Dodgers vs Angles game at least once a year. She dug that big time.

Then it just got to much for her to go to the games she was still young at 90 last time I took her.

Never could get her to go to a Football game with me, or watch it for that matter.

She would watch the Lakers.

oh crap, sorry for going on.

Ed

Ramble on all you want Ed. Sometimes it can help to talk, or write, about it.

Thanks guys. Trying to stay busy here at work. Waiting for a call from pops to see how it went. I'm sure he is a mess.

me and pops are real close. we see each other at least twice a year and talk to each other four times a week.

Thanks again.

Ed

Howdy, All.

I'm typing this quickly since I've got to go help mom set up some tables and crap at church.

Sheldon: What kind of dump truck how many axles?

Also did you get anything at Ritchie Bros? We don't have a Ritchie Bros. in this area. Our major auction house is Petrowsky Auctioneers.

And I got a box wrapped up in ISSPRO tape today, but haven't had a chance to open it yet. It'll get opened when I get home.

Edit: Well long story short everything was set up when I got there.

I got my box opened up and it has my pyro and trans. temp gauges + ECM and what appears to be lead wire for the Pyro. I'm hoping that the boost gauge is going to be in one of the other packages that is supposed to be headed my way.

I can't wait at all.

I've got mom down to 2 months in Pinkie as long as I'm on good behavior. (I complained long enough about the roof leaking and it not having A/C) That is opposed to 4 months she was thinking of previously.

Now I'm just waiting on my Boost Gauge, 6637, one of other Pete's covers, and CCV parts.

The driving school says my test should be some time late this month or early next month. I'll know next Monday or Tuesday when it will be.

Thats a good story Pat. Did she feel bad for giving you such a hard time?

Mark, you get the wrong idea. I never said I wanted a big ring. Heck I'm still not even sure..well lets just say it'll take me a long time to even get used to wearing one. I'm not a big fan of how how rings feel on my fingers.

I'm not sitting here waiting for some big expensive thingie. If he has that idea, he got it from himself.

Ed,...I know it helps to talk it out, and I don't mind one bit. I know its tough to loose someone you love. Real tough. You'll see her again someday.

Complaining, when executed properly, can be very persuasive.
