I hope I am half the husband to my wife that you are to yours jim.


great pictures to document it all too!

Exceedingly few are half the husband Jim is proven to be by these photos.

My hat's off to you Jim for being the human that you are. If there's a "big book" up there somewhere your reward is assured.

Me Too! rain drops trickle down my cheeks, Aggie looks pretty GOOD sitting in that Truck. So glad you can do this I'm betting she still has a Smile Ear to Ear. By the way looks like your dropping a few pounds what's your secret?

[Advanced Design]

Great idea Jim! What a fun and special way to spend the day together. Good to see you both enjoying!

Thanks joedoh and Dan. To me it's just being a husband, I know in my heart, that if I were in her place, she would be right there. I guess we were just made for each other.

Thanks Ray, she was just so happy to be going someplace other than a doctor visit. When I took here back, she just cried and said she was so happy. Made my day. I'm trying to stay below 200, just don't eat as much and work out a little.

Thanks Kees

Hey guys, can't put to words how great it makes me feel, that all of you have responded to this. All I can say is I never knew years ago, that I would step-up when the time came. I know in my heart that each of you would do the same. We just have to deal with LIFE, as it is pushed toward us. God bless all of you, and I appreciate every word...Jim

Strong work, both on the truck and in life. You are an inspiration. Keep up the good work.

[BAM55]

You are a hell of a man. By the way it is a truck story, the human beings behind them are important also. Good man.

[ChuckDriver]

Awesome!

Hey everyone. We did our fall run to Gaston's today. Weather was in the 50's by noon, so it was a nice day. Took a few pics of the cars in our group, some brought their daily drivers, but still had a few classics. Got to watch a couple planes take off, and a couple land, before heading home. I'm also showing my GPS with the milage.

This was my last outing this year. HOPEFULLY, next week I will start tearing apart the truck, and getting things ready for the repaint. Will post up some of the pics along the way...Jim

[joedoh]

looks like fun jim, thanks for sharing!

fun fact: that v-tail bonanza was nicknamed "doctor killer" because the "ruddervators" were extremely sensitive to weight and balance and even a coat of spray paint on the magnesium would induce flutter.

[lower50's]

Not bad for a last run, nice the weather was good for you guys. How much fuel did you use?

[Indian113]

Who owns that AD parked by the Porsche? Sure is pretty down there, Bet you had a bunch of Fun. Have a Great Thanksgiving Jim,Wishing the Best for You and Aggie

[Advanced Design]

Well that looks like it was a fun day. Thanks for sharing the pictures. Happy Thanksgiving to you and Aggie!
