Afternoon guys.

Sorry, have not been around much, have alot of stuff going on. Not really that bad, just really wierd.

Mike, I would go for it on that camper. A camper that age does not loose value as long as it is kept in nice condition.

Well, I might as well just spew it out.

My mom dropped a bomb on the rest of the family last night. It turns out that I have a brother. He is older than my oldest sister. My mom and dad had him when they were young, and gave him up for adoption. Turns out that he found my mom and now wants to meet us. Just strange thing to happen after 34 years.

Good afternoon MN!

Hey Lee, we had a similar family discussion a few years back, my older sister is actually my half sister, mom was married before, divorced and remarried my dad. They had my brother and my dad adopted my sister when she was 6.

My sister found her younger brother who is a year older than me who has become part of the family.

That is cool Steve.

After talking with some people today about it, it appears to not be really unheard of from back in those days, just that it was so long for us.

Lee,

I hope that works out for you all. It could be kindof cool. So long as he isn't a Mopar guy.

Hey Troy. I know. I am working on getting a different bed, or box, first. Also, I have that steering gear and shaft on order. I need to knock out that project. Then, it'll feel like mine. Still, I'm not fond of that goofy diamond plate flatbed.
