Nice day
I arrived for a short visit to Memphis, two days ago, in wet horrible weather, at 0145 hrs. Not my idea of fun. However, today is the opposite, quite warm compared with Bismarck (38°F here, 16°F there.) I still have not got an internet computer, I lost a massive amount of work by hackers again, and have decided that I must rewrite a great deal before I invest in the internet again. However, I can occasionally get online, and check this forum, and a couple of others on this site. Not much else interests me at present.
Plenty is happening in my life at this time, with promise of a better life coming soon. I look forward to that immensely. I hit the magic 50 this year, and as my life went somewhat wrong in '93 when I hit 40, I am hoping that a new ideal can be in effect; that of 'life begins at 50'
My trucks are behaving reasonably, with the elder surpassing the younger in all aspects, 'cepting one, that of high idle in the cold. My '96 does not do this. I have a growing problem with the new one - there is an oil leak at the back of the engine, that is getting steadily worse, so I must bite the bullet, and take the beast to dealer for warranty work. That I hate with a vengeance, but needs must....
I will be in North Dakota for a few more months, May looks like the last one, and am unsure of where I will be after that. Life is getting wonderful again, so wherever is ok with me. I return to the frozen north in a couple of days time, so immediate replies will probably be seen by me.

Nice day
Theo! 
It is great to hear from you. Sounds like there is much promise in your future.
I understand your dread of taking your new baby to the dealer. That can test anyone's faith.
Things will work out for you and I'm very glad to see that you can still stop by.
