Went to a fund raiser last night.Sometimes life is crazy,with everything else going on in life, my life long bud had an accident in his sprint car a few weeks back. Was in induced coma for a couple of weeks in the US and was brought home about a week ago. Took him off the induced meds and is still in a coma. Every day is a tough day....waiting to hear. Just feeling a bit down right now. Get well soon bud!

Sorry to hear about this. I've been struggling to deal with a friend of mine who was just diagnosed with Pancreatic cancer. He is the poster child for living a healthy lifestyle but that doesn't seem to matter. He's been told he has "weeks to months" to live. He's lost a lot of weight and is now experiencing pain.
Had a ladder twist out from underneath me, and fell 5' onto my left shoulder ... dislocated shoulder. They put me under anesthetic and popped it back into place (instant relief). Now my 2 week "working holiday" is a 2 week "healing holiday" Grrrrrrrr...

Sorry to hear about your friend there Jim, all too often we are reminded how mortal we are and that tomorrow is no guarantee. Have to make the best of what we got and be thankful for all we a given. Here's hoping for a recovery.
Yes you could say that. 28 years ago today actually, it all changed. Was given a 25% chance of making it through the night and IF I survived the treatment would be doing good to make 5 years. I don't take well to being told what I can't do so I'm still here. Cancer free 28 years..

Good on you, Dan. 31 years ago on July 2, 1986 for me. As Winston Churchill said during the darkest days of WW II, " Never, Never, Never give up"! That applies to the bastard, cancer! Sure does change your outlook. I, like you don't take a doctor's opinion for gospel. We are doing OK, Buddy!
By the way, my Daddy gave me the middle name of Winston in honor of the great man.
Bonneville:Update: After two months of hard at'er took a break and traveled the Upper Island camping with the fam. Boys(and wives) made it to the flats. Couple of tech probs( window net,head restraint etc) small stuff. Ready to roll tomorrow! They needed a couple of small things and said I should fly down and deliver them(anyone drive truck for a couple of days?) Sure wish I was there! How many guys can say they ran at Bonneville!!! All 4 units r the gang! The 69 has a sporty LS under the hood.
Have a friend who made the trek from Ontario. Will await his stories when he returns.
Cool! Would be neat if they met up Ken. Is he racing and if so what class. Can FB my sis to look out for him...might need some Canadian help. Sorry for all the posts guys/gals but on pins and needles waiting for the first run!! Boys passed tech and bail out time so we have 3 that can run. She's looking good..hope she runs as good!

After having a set of back up lights sitting on the shelf for the last 6-8 years, I finally decided to install them this weekend during our 30 drops of rain. Needed a small addition to the wiring harness across the trunk so found a 66 Caddy in pick n pull today that gave me a couple of the ends that I needed. I had 5 complete wiring harnesses at home here with none of them having the ends I wanted. Just a small thing in the big picture but my car came as bare bones as it could have been so now as I've gotten old I will give people a little more warning what my intentions are.
