Dday, my friend, how are you and the boys? Start work on the new house?
You'll never guess what I did Saturday. I fractured a bone in my forearm at the elbow. I was tired but wanted to finish the job and I tripped stepping over something. I have an appointment with an orthopedist tomorrow morning. I have so much work to do around the house and now I won't catch up till Memorial Day. At least it was my left arm.
I am in a calm place with my wife and my marriage. I am thankful for each day with her and the kids. I have no expectations. Day by day is all I can do. Thank you for your support. There's not many of us left from last summer, they've all moved on. Please come visit when ever you have time.
My son asked me for one of the "old" cars I have in the garage. I said sure if he helped me finish putting up the ceiling in the garage first. I was figuring the '65 Impala. I found out an interesting fact about the '65. It has the exact same wheelbase as a 2006 and later Ford Expedition. The width of the Expedition is 1" wider, so only 1/2" at each wheel. That came be compensated for with offset rims. The Expedition has 4 wheel independent suspension and four wheel disc brakes. I could pick up a rolling chassis at a junk yard cheap. I could even get one with 4 wheel drive. Put a 4bt cummins, 5 speed manual trans, manual transfer case and have a 4 wheel drive diesel Impala that gets an easy 25 miles to the gallon. It could turn out so well I'll have to give him the '70 Chevelle instead.
I have truly forgiven myself, I am doing well but I miss you Dday.
