    Wow! I didn't see that one coming at all Emmet. You seemed so happy to have the truck, and no that long ago. That trailer had a nice array of early PU iron, for sure!

    Hot-rodding is like malaria.
    Once you've had it it's in the blood and you're never rid of it.
    You'll be back.
    In one way or another.

    Just hope you and your family have the health to enjoy it.
    Blessings to you and yours.

    Thanks, Y'all, I truly believe that the best part of our hobby is the people you meet from being involved in it.

    Reality can suck sometimes. I feel your pain. The '36 3w went down the road about a month ago and one of the Model A's is leaving later this morning. Can't keep them forever, but you can still play in the pond.

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

    I sure hate to see that Jimmy go off like that, but I certainly know what your reasons are. I guess we can just hang out here in the shade and watch the "Pups", and what other "Old Dogs" who can, play, and kibbitz with them about it.

    For those that don't know, I did the same thing last year when we sold our big place and moved; put the '59 on a guys trailer and waved bye to 40 years association; too broken to keep up, even with the usual day to day stuff, some of the time. Life goes on, such as it is.
