    I am worried about SP. I hope I'm not speaking out of turn here, but Dino and SP were going out over the holiday to pick up a truck, and I'm quoting this from another thread:

    I am very concerned that SP is continuing to have problems. Hopefully dino will give us an update soon.
     
    Big Don Thanks this.

    I'm glad to hear he is doing good. I didn't know anything about this post until now. Very good man indeed. I was curious as to why I hadn't seen him post lately. Now I hope those who have fought and argued with him feel ashamed with this fine vet of the road. Hope to see him back here soon.

    Nana, to be honest i dont have many friends...Southern pride and i hit it off . We have alot in comon. I have always tryed to be a man of my word...and in todays world sometimes it is very hard to do...Sp's wife did inform me that his kids were haveing a fit about him going with me > An i hole heartedly understand, like i told him yesterday he is doing outstanding, the doctors are amazed at his recovery so far...but the man has become a good friend and i respect his opinion and his advice! But he needs to let nature take its course in the healing process...He is the type of person that if ihave a problem on the road , i can call and he would help my dumb arse out lol........He is a old timerer in the biz and full of ways to straighen things out.......Once again i was my honor to me him and his mrs.....they should have a comedy act.. they are just good down to earth people , trying to servive in the big bad world like the rest of us:biggrin_25525:

    I'd much prefer to have a few good, true-blue friends (as I do) than a bunch of fair-weather fakes (as I'm sure we've all experienced).

    Keep up the good work!!
     
    SheepDog Thanks this.
