Thumbs up GOOD NEWS from JO Wilker

I talked with John this morning by phone. He says he's recovering fine & wants to go home. Hopefully it will happen by the weekend.
He is in great spirits and looking forward to getting back in the swing of things once again real soon.
John says Thanks So Much to all his friends and acquaintances here for their support & prayers during his ordeal this past week. It's feels good to have so much support from so many folks.
I say Hear! Hear! John! Get well fast & come back soon Buddy, we'll be waitin on ya Man.

I have noticed the one thing really gets John riled up (like me) is when you start talking of sticking a Chebby drivetrain in a Slick. So, you want to send him right back to hospital, get that topic going a bit... but I wouldn't recommend it for him OR you LOL

I must have a touch of leprechaun in me or something.. tend to notice what gets people going more than most.

for example:

Ask FBp if they made a '64 Unibody Stepside,
Check with the truckfarmer if he still has that 429 Fridge for sale
Enquire of DDavid why he has '66 symbols on his truck
see why Banjopicker is living up in Yankee-land
and ask Garbz how his luck has been going


LOL
feeling like kind of a disturber now

John had to get well! I hear tell that he got reject notices from both Heaven and Hell, -something about being too ornery/cantankerous/crotchety for either place. He has been designated as an FTE mod for eternity...

Ringo is definitely going for that ornery/cantankerous/crotchety label also!

Aww c'mon Torque, I am usually all about the fun

just don't ask me why Ford isn't building more Shelby's, or how to put a wood floor in your Ford truck,


and I will ask you to pull my finger

Heheheheheheheh

But seriously folks, all the best to JW. Turned out to be more serious than originally anticipated, I'm glad he is doing well.
