Default I'm Back !!!!!!!!!!

First day looking at the Barn!! Good to see all the problems haven't been solved nor have all the parts been sold.

I sincerely want to thank you members for your concerns, kind words and prayers. Your postings were read to me each day by my wife, Mary. Your comments got me through some pretty tough days and nights.

I'm on the mend and hope to be back on top soon. In the mean time, no trips to the garage for under body inspections.

Thanks again, You guys mean a lot to me.

With gratitude, Don Rogers

Good to hear from you Don! You think we'll ever get all our V8 problems solved? Nah! I hope you can make it to Auburn in August.

Great news! Copy that garage restriction. Keep it moving but, keep 'er in low and second for a while. Those therapists can sometimes have unreal expectations. The thing is, show up, and keep haulin'.
