    @Judge I don't like reading that and I'm sorry to hear it's gotten to this point, it can be hell on the loved ones as well, best of luck man, it sucks, I about lost my mind when my dad passed. All I can say is keep your head and try to move forward as best you can.
    I resorted to a large amount of alcohol for awhile..dont use that technique, please, it doesn't help.

    It don't come easy @Judge .
    I remember my dad was the strongest, badest man in the world.
    I went to see him at the VA hospital in Iowa and he didn't know who I was.
    A year or so later, they said he was dying. I hauled ### to Iowa, but I couldn't stand to see him that way. So I parked at the truckstop, walked across the street to a hotel, got drunk, and went to bed.
    The next morning he was gone.

    I don't know, man. What's better and what's worse? I know this much, my dad visits my mind almost every day. And I guess that's all I get.

    God bless.

    Sorry to hear. My dad has actually rallied a bit over the last week. But I wouldn’t call it a recovery.

    We have awakened.

    It's like 0200 here in normal time.

    Have you ever noticed when you get home, you have a bunch of stuff to do?

    The OM has gone into yowl, which shouldn't be confused with growl.

    I got a new water pump and belts for the TriPac about three years ago. The OM says those are to be installed today or tomorrow, or today and tomorrow, which is a hundred(100) percent unfair.

    Dale Thompson never around when you need him.
