Thanks bro! He was gone in less than two weeks after they found out he had pancreatic cancer !

Good to see you getting so much done !

If I can find enough time this weekend I'm gonna try to start a thread on what I'm doing to mine plus I had a another friend of mine give me the beginning of my next project! More on that soon !

I'll be looking to see when you have her tucked safely inside!

Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd.......life intervened......again. That lower back problem from decades ago decided to "Upgrade Itself".....

The old right leg is partially paralyzed. No biggie, as I told DerekDerek today. As soon as the V A. reads the Xrays I'll know more.

So.......I din't empty/sort the remaining boxes of Vette stuff.....and naturally, the pain pills don't help.

I'll be watching for Post # 5115!

It is just my luck that somebody is paying attention to my sequence in posting. I was really trying to keep it covert...but I have been found out.

But seriously...it is just dumb luck that it is happening that way. Kinda weird....but 'cool' at the same time.

It's Destiny.........like today is the Memorial Day of my son's murder.

I needed the day to reflect, rather than drown my emotions by working in the garage----and doing everything wrong.

For me every time my back goes out I'm off to my chiropractor and he straightens me right up ! He has exercises that I do as well that help speed the recovery! Eliminate as much of the sugar intake as you can ! It has a negative effect in your body that can actually be causing you to be misaligned in your spine!

The only other thing that might help would be the top down , the pedal down , and the gear shifter moving in an H pattern for hang on!

Hope you find something that's helps you move to the second part soon!

Tony, there are 6 wheelchairs on new Orleans craigslist 30 to 65 bucks. Everybody sells them, but med insurance usually pays for them so nobody is buying them. AND if you have it there in the corner waiting for you, you won't need it!! You can use it as a rolling tool box-parts holder...

Thanks Derek......I've moved north of N.O. 50 miles and located a chair near me....waiting on a reply. Like you said...the paralyzed part isn't the problem-----IT'S THE PAIN WHERE IT ISN'T PARALYZED THT IS EARING ME OUT!

NOW.....the rolling tool box holder is a win/win sit-eee-a-shunn!
