Thank you! I was lucky she figured I was a keeper 39 years ago. Through these trucks and our collective interest in them we pass by being strangers pretty quickly. Really appreciate the prayers!

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait

I couldn't imagine going through this. Aside from praying, honestly try this simple thing. Eat a plant based diet. very little or no cheese, dairy, meat. Cancers thrive on animal protein. Its a big lifestyle change for some, but it is more than easy these days. Worth a shot. Tons of documentaries and studies out there to back up this diet and how it helps so many people with diabetes, cancers, chronic pain, weight loss list goes on. Think about it, what is the most important thing for our bodies? Food,air, water. Doctors have their place, but rarely ever ask about what you eat. Bless you, your wife and family.

Well, I fixed a shop roller tire that kept going flat. Pretty lame I know...though at least it was something I did for the Burb.

Tim, thank you! Hope you are enjoying your new project. If you get a chance, please share your progress with us on your build thread.

With all that is going on, we still have some good times when the grandsons come over. They are learning to drive with their Gators.

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait

All the shop time and play over the years is paying off. Oldest Grandson was able to get under there way better than me. He tightened the fasteners on the back side of the license plate. And the younger one held the fasteners for us.
Maybe it was silly, I was really proud of the boys for helping. They did well.

Wife laughed and said...Oh fudge....! Ralphies line in Christmas story when he was helping his Dad change the flat tire, and the lug nuts went flying.

Doug;

I seem to remember that most of us got our start doing the same thing;
I pray that the wife is having some good days with the boys too;
I send a pray to the both of you;
It has been so cold(no snow) just wind n cold.
I have not been doing much in the shop on the build.
Once it start to warm up I have alot of work to do to get started.
Enjoy your time with the boys.as they grow up fast.
