He's headed for Colorado along with some OLD FRIENDS !
Don't know if I'll get back into the hobby or not???

I'm sorry.

The '56 F100 he is tailgating looks a LOT like mine - At least I think it does - if I could remember what color mine is supposed to be. I think it's red, but it's mostly "rust" and "mud" and algae from the rain around here.

Is Jim Bob the one that Bob found for you a while back?

[CrashFarmer2]

Why is he running away from home?

[wretched ratchet]

Yes, Dave, that is the Jimmy that more or less introduced me to Bob and Karen and I am so grateful for that !

Crash, it's mostly health problems, along with the fact that there was no way that my Wiffy could even get in that truck much less be able to tolerate the ride, so it was time to move on while "he" still could.

Sorry to hear you´re having to let the truck go.

You did´nt try getting Sherry to ride in back on the bed did you ?

Better not with that bad eye she could blind side you....................

"busted" - - - but what I don't understand is that I even put one of those new top of the line $5 WallyWorld lawn chairs in the bed so she wouldn't have to sit on the splintery plywood bed and because I'm so caring, I even fixed her a safty harness out of several bungie straps (very colorful also)- - - jeeze - - - some wimmin just can't be pleased

Im lost W.R. You OK? Whats going on? You had to sell your truck? Is your wife ok ( her eye?) Are You dropping out of the CAR KULTURE hobbies?

Jester

[malc]

It´s W.R.´s eye.

[wretched ratchet]

yeah, P.J. my eye is currently f'd from a detached retina, however, I'm improving daily and have been able to drive if needed. The wiffy, however, is another story and her condition wouldn't allow her to even be able to climb into the truck much less handle the ruff ride. My timing was bad and I should have never taken on a PU build at "our ages" - - - if I should stay in the Kar Kulture, it will be with a comfortable, easily maintaned Cruiser, even if it's a 60's or 70's vintage. I know I'll never be able to pull a engine or tranny again but I can still fix minor things as long as I can get to them and see them hahahaha

[painted jester]

Sorry to hear that W.R. !! I hope your futures are good for you and your wife And you find a nice cruiser real soon

[mikesnyhere]

[35terraplane]

WELL WR you are in luck I just happen to have a nice 46 Ford that I could put you and the little wife in. For a small fee it could be yours. You have my number, oh by the way I'm home.
