Like it says, tomorrow is the big day for the Big Dad, I'll be 69 and can still power shift with the best of 'em.
As I was sitting in my man cave with the 03 on jack stands I thought about all the things I've been through in my life, so I thought I'd put some of these thoughts into a post.
For the past 4 years I've been involved in other more important things in my life to even consider driving the Cobra. The wife has been through Hell with her remaining siblings and it has taken a toll on both of us. Her younger sister had a brain aneurism and survived, but isn't the same person. Her youngest and only remaining brother passed away last July from pulmonary hypertention at the age of 51. She has been in mourning ever since and it has taken a toll on our relationship.
I finally decided to get the 03 back on the streets last year but everything didn't fall into place. I did accomplish one thing though, I managed to get it finally dynoed, which turned out to be what I was hoping for.
On top of all this I'm still trying to finish my Chevy II which has been going on this time for 21 years.
Then to top all this going on the weather has been quite stormy in my neck of the woods lately and the 03 has never been driven in the rain, so I've been waiting patiently for the weather to clear. Looks like that'll happen next week and I intend to make the most of it.
I realize this may be a incoherant rant but I just needed to tell someone, and no I'm not suffering from dementia or "Oldtimers".
Let's hope that next week I'm in a better state of mind and can enjoy crusing in the Cobra for once in 4 years.
