    Either that therapy is really fast acting or you decided to pursue other treatment options ?
    Either way it sounds like you're making some progress since you're done with the door swinging. Good for you Glair.
    How's Bretchen ?

    You’ve always had a knack of summing up a situation into a quick , to the point sentence.

    It’s good advice.

    She be Good. Busily painting.

    Might make use of the wasted day on Monday - by delivering the boys Volvo to Savannah, GA. Stay a few days and see why can hauling is such a bad business model.

    Yes - I see Dorian is approaching, I’ll take my Wellies.

    You all be good to one another.

    Need some advice from ya'll since you guys haven't steered me wrong yet.

    Planning on starting to repair my cab over the winter since my old man has cleaned out the shop a bit. Now my plan is to do all the structural repairs and rough bodywork at home, then take it to the body shop to have the interior and outside of the firewall painted and the remainder of the cab primered. Then lowbed the truck to the bodyshop after everything has been mocked up (stacks chrome, lights, horns, rooftop condensor etc) to get the exterior painted.

    My biggest concern is if I get it painted off the frame it might get damaged while setting it onto the frame. Figure its cheaper and easier to fix a base coat of primer than a nice, metallic paint job.

    Thanks for that.
    They’re going for a second opinion.
    He’s lost 50 lbs, weak extremities, can’t talk right, can’t swallow well, can’t barely walk. Been a while since he got that bad, we ain’t seen him in 8 weeks prolly. He ain’t getting better, I can say that surely.
    Nice old guy too.
