Watch a man drive off with my truck today

[JOJABOY]

I've been so ill lately (3 weeks in hospital trying to die) that my truck is just sittin under a tree soaking up the sap and dripping what's probably not sap (trans fluid I think). So I asked a friend to come exercise ol girl and maybe give her a wash.

It's not every day I let another man drive one of my cars. But it looks like it's gonna be a while before I can drive again. I do trust my friend (obviously) but still sad listening to that sweet rumble heading off in the distance.

Get well soon--- I can relate to not letting anyone drive your ride. My son in law would love to drive any of mine. He makes good grand kids----but he aint drivin my stuff (I do let him drive my farm tractor once in a while!!!!

[flashed]

JOJABOY , I hope you are well enough to play with your own toys soon .

[JOJABOY]

Thanks fellas, but I think its gonna be a while. Told my buddy to keep her till I can come get her.

I've been up and down with foot then back surgeries this year. Ended up sick and found out I was septic from an infectious abscess on my spine from last back surgery. Doc ended up splaying open most of my lower back to clean it all out. I'm just glad abscess didn't rupture into spinal sac and kill me.

Sad story but I'm still sad about this ugly memory of my truck going the wrong way! LOL

Well, JOJA, you didn't watch it be driven off by someone who stole it...You HAVE TO get well and get rollin' again.

I'm ordering you!!!!

Another thing that I bet will help: Just one more post to get the "post count" off of the Bad Guy's influence.
Then, watch the sun start to shine thru.

When I read the title that's what I thought--that you watched a thief drive off in your beloved truck. I'm relieved that wasn't so.

I wish you good fortune and highly effective Meds.

Hope you get well. I can relate to back operations they are a pain no pun intended

Don't make important decisions when you're down, not feeling yourself, and likely taking mood altering pain meds. Get your truck back so you can look at it and touch it, and know that the worst it'll get is tree sap vs getting stolen, dented, in am accident, abused, etc.

She's not too far away. Had another Marine who lives here in government housing take her for some exercise. Not so far away that I will cry myself to sleep. I have pain for that. Everytime I think I'm on that road to recovery I seem to find a detour. Now watch with my luck she'll come back with some chrome handles high on the cab behind the door, a Mexican blanket hanging down for a sun visor and a bug guard across the hood that reads El Guapo. LOL

Here's to wishing you a fast, full recovery soon my friend.

^^^ good advice! Its good to trust a friend like,that. But... having it closer to you helps in your mental well being which in turn helps you with your over all phyiscal health. I am sure he would understand if you asked him to return it and come over once in a while to start her.

[Vintage Windmills]

Get well soon! Good that you're set up with a computer and can post here and read the forums.

[JOJABOY]

Thanks for the thoughts and prayers. Hopefully, I will get better fast. Wife got me tablet to help with my sanity. Weird being at home with IV pole in living room. Been thinking of good joke for Ford friend once I'm all better. Gonna fill used IV bag with motor oil using large syringe and give it to him for Christmas gift. I should be long past this PICC line by then.

Got call from buddy earlier. Thought it may have been "feel good" update on truck safety but no.......he just wanted to know if fuel gauge was correct and if so...how many YARDS per gallon it got. Bwahahahahaha

[In The Ten Ring]

I figured you had sold it.

Get well NOW. I will pray for you.

[JOJABOY]

Sold? I thought that's what the called it when you got your truck. And dead is when you get rid of it. LOL

[zicc1835]

Hi joja

[bigsnookmaster]

Thoughts and prayers with you brother! Get better soon!

[DGulliver]

Joja, I hope you feel better soon. Myself, I was laid up on a feed tube in my living room last year for several months, and finally got my surgery in late January this year. I was having pancreatic issues and I can relate to having a hospital bed in the front room. It's not pleasant being tethered to a PICC line or feeding tube, but I got through it and you will too I know! I'm glad you have a good friend helping taking care of your truck, hang in there..
