It's been five years...

Since you guys saved my life. I will always remember all of you for what you did for me this day five years ago. You all are like family to me. Thanks

I think I had a mini stroke today....

David, old Son!
Good to have you around.
Five years? Really!
Let's see that was a 914 and an MGB ago.

Good for you David. You are one of the ones that actually listen to others and act on their advice. Certainly a good quality to have.

LOL damn near, I found Jimmy Hoffa in there when I was cleaning it out. I'm thinking about adding cow horns over the grill and pistols for door handles..

So glad it worked out so well, Bro.

yeah I know. I haven't done an "on the bench" series in a quite a while. Actually I have rescued anything worth posting. Mainly repairs and their no fun to watch. I have a Meriden SXS that i found a year ago the is a worthy candidate so after Christmas I may do a feature on that..

Glad to be here as well..

So, I guess Jack's Fox Sterlingworth isn't sponge-worthy

All the best David, I am so delighted we get a chance to share this anniversary...to many more, Salute.

David I wasn't "involved" in that thread but I did read about it later on and, as others have said, we're all glad you posted it and followed the advice given by fellow pelicans that day! You did the right thing and that was five years ago.....super glad it worked out for you!

How is your health as of late?

I'm good. No cigarettes for 5 years now. Cigar once in a while. My Dopplers every 6 months are clear as a bell. Been sleeping with a CPAP on and it has changed my life. All in all other than turning 66 in January all is well.

Jack's gun was too easy. Just a re- finish. It's done already. Looks new. Waiting on the sight for your Browning. They should both be back home by next week.

Just kidding, my friend.

Now, rest assured I will be posting pictures

I hope Rick V. chimes in...he was fairly adamant on your behalf.
