Barb ROCKS!!! Even (or should that be especially?) when she catches me in an embarassing turn of phrase!

thanks bob and you can turn a phrase every which way but loose. evolvo when i was in baltimore i was 7. wish i was there when i got older. you learn alot in the city really quick. the track i am going to is the richmond dragway in sandston va. just a few miles from me. the big boys years ago used to run there before nhra got too big for the smaller tracks. the ihra runs it now and it is a great place to get your car dialed in. though i know that i can never beat a vette that can take a cts-v i am going to do at least one pass. if everything holds together and i do not end up burning the tires off my car.

Give it heaps,Barb...that big ol Caddy will grunt hard..
Ohh,and Lynda wants to remind you...If you have a pulse,you have a purpose..

Barb,
It’s nice to hear you over come some hard times and as some of the members said before that’s what can make you a stronger person. You wanted to have a good family of your own when you grew up and it sounds like you have that also.

I have been following your engine swap and it finally got me to get out and try to get my truck going. It’s not easy with the injuries but if you want something bad enough you can do it. Thanks for the motivation.

Barb, I have always admired your attiitude and participation on the forum. My wife experenced the same before we got married. I saw it go on as I lived next door,not realizing that some day I would marry her.

She knows nothing about cars but supports my love for them. I had a 32 3w/cpe. when we were dating and it was the first car she had ever driven as I taught her how to drive, that was before drivers Ed. It just didn't (cars) take with her.

We too have lost our mothers and really miss them.

Thanks for sharing and good luck with the change over.

tell lynda i said thank you. some days are harder than others to remember that. Richard I am glad that i motivate you. you guys do that for me alot of days. Don it is nice to be a survivor. I have always belived that you have to go through alot of crap so that you know a good thing when you see it and to cherish it. If life was easy we would take what was valuable for granted. I have tried to instill that in my kids. It is always a better feeling to get something that is worked for than to have it handed to you.

Amazing story from an amazing lady .......... you're something else Barb
