But I've been so sick for so long that 70 miles of freeway drivin' just wiped me out. I never took the truck over 75
I'm really feelin old!
Good thing Zofia told me she wants to drive it more
I'm going to a cardiac rehab class at the gym starting in the next two weeks
It's still good to see the looks on folks faces when you pass em in the fast lane!!!

John Did you like the Gort film clip? | | | | | Joined: Jan 2000 Posts: 175 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2000 Posts: 175 | Jim, good luck with the rehab. We want to see you here for a long time to come so go easy and don't let some overzealous tech push you too hard.
I think you should put the P/S in it as soon as your ready. Do whatever it takes to make it more comfortable. Remember they don't give merit badges for suffering with less modern amenities.
If it was me I'd be driving that Corvair - everywhere!

Glad you are out and about more. I have been getting things re-situated myself,,,,

There is enough good in the worst of us and enough bad in the best of us that it does not behoove any of us to criticize the rest of us.

Old trucks and cycles are the best therapy.
I never had any back problems but every member of my family is dead,all from strokes and heart disease,some lived to 85 some to 55,I might be on short notice,ya think? | | | | | Joined: Aug 2000 Posts: 523 Member | | Member Joined: Aug 2000 Posts: 523 | I wasn't suggesting that you see a Dr.....I guess it's like the piston thing but I'm not going to dwell on such stuff
Honest you family history is like mine. Please make sure that you are doing everything you can to stay around. We both have great ladies that need use to stay alive as long as possable
