Just Plain Stupied

[doorgunner]

More good news! The video of Testing the SBC Engine and 700R4 transmission that's been missing for 7 years has been found on an old CD. I posted the video on page #6 and a couple other places throughout the thread.

Here is a pre-flood pic of the Streetrod and my fabricated Harley Davidson.
I installed a 1,000 lb. winch on the front bed-wall to pull the Harley up the ramp.
I raised the tailgate until it was level and took the Harley to the beach in Biloxi.
Later I added the adjustable air shocks to level the bed for future trips.

Talk about folks slowing down on the Interstate to get a good look.......

About 6 months after I had to leave the TRS Forum this happened to our neighborhood. This is a friends house...the water was too deep to go any further.
By the second day floodwater was up to the door handle.
The 3rd day it was 5 feet deep.

The good news is...we sold our house 5 months before the flood and moved to another city.

This is our new house being built with a few pics of the '89 Streetrod parked out front.

After we built the two=story house we ended up selling it to take care of my wife's parents in a different city.
Her parents needed 24/7/365 care. They both died several months apart about a year later.

Neither of us could handle the losses.

I was so sad and worn out that I ended up making a BAD DECISION------I got Just Plain Stupied....

I sold the '89 Streetrod....It had 245,000+ miles on it

I've missed it every day since.

About 4 months ago my wife and I were driving along a curvy country road one afternoon when my Streetrod came flying around the curve from the opposite direction. By the time I found a safe place to turn around to chase down the truck it was LONG GONE! It still shined like a candy apple.


To quote another TRS Member........................................................

RULE #1...Never sell something that's PAID FOR.
RULE #2...Always tell friends before you sell something SO THEY CAN STOP YOU

Maybe we'll win the Lottery and I can track the guy down and buy it back

DG!!! Glad you're back with us!
Here's some pics from your Houma part of the TRS Banner in 2010!

WOW! A Blast from the Past. Thanks for saving them!
By the way...notice how the windshield wipers park themselves...

They only do that when I go faster than 95

It's that time of year again...getting seriously teary-eyed about my son Blake....

Here is the short version :

According the "the rules of our new President, Blake's killer has been removed from Border Patrol's Most Wanted", decriminalized and probably will become a U.S. Citizen with a clean rap sheet in the next 2 years.

I'm hoping to NOT take a mental plunge in the next 2 months....but who knows?

Hang in there Mr doorgunner.

There are so many things wrong in this world today.

Thanks Guys....you'd think it would be easier to deal with by now.....

"It ain't".

There was a guy in the Good Book who dealt with his son's death for 20 years...
I got 4 more years to go.
