If you don't have heartburn regularly then suddenly start getting heartburn, you might want to go to the doctor. Posted from a hospital bed because apparently I had a heart attack.

locals brag it's worth it for the weather.. just a bad joke

You for sure know about your weather as you live there,, just kiddin ya some my friend

as for the prices of homes on the coastal side of California ,,where so many people are selling and moving to other states because of taxes ...here is a google photo of a house in Los olivos that just sold for $825,000 ,,in a bidding war.. Here where I live it would go for around $250- 300 ,but again it a bidding war is all over our area as well due the people from other states moving here.. here is a photo off google of the house and property

Email her name. We may be best friends or even relatives.

**special-K** · 09-16-2020, 01:33 PM

My sister was going to give me their information. I'll catch up with her and let you know. I know his people are from Texas, but not sure if the aunt is his family or by marriage... or what her situation is. Like widowed and moved back, or what. My sister only said 'aunt'. I'll find out.

Killer Bee · 10-02-2020, 05:20 AM

now that's more like it!

Haven't talked to my sister yet. I sent her a text last evening, but it was too late for her to talk. We'll be talking today.

I've been wanting to bring this thread back. Glad you did, KB. I grilled some steaks last night, made mashed redskin potatoes, and white corn on the cob. I enjoyed that meal. Over and out

Yeah ! lots could go wrong with that Merry -go -round ..reason I know a bit about this sort of contraption is that when I was around 10-12 years old my dad took a car hub and mounted it on a stump next to our house and bolted a long board on it for us kids to sit on,,,other kids twirled us faster and faster..

Most of the time no one got hurt but some times teeth were knocked loose and bruzzas were an every day event..

So yes ,,this king size merry-go-round and moving to boot ,,Oh Yeah ?

Killer Bee might ride it though.. you think?

**davischevy** · 10-12-2020, 09:19 PM

I've been melancholy the last couple of days. I mentioned a while back that my friend John Watkins was fighting Pancreatic Cancer. John lost his fight Friday night.

He is in a better place now, but it makes me think about the purpose of life. John was a good husband, father and successful business man. He worked until less than two years ago, and retired to focus on his family and hot rods.

We have been going to Good Guys Des Moines with John and his family for several years. This year our kids wanted to go to the Rockies, so we went that way. John called from Des Moines while we were on the road, and we had a good talk. I don't feel guilty about not going to Des Moines this year, but it would have been nice to be there for John's last car show.

Rest in piece John.

**Chevyland** · 10-12-2020, 09:34 PM

Rest in peace John
Larry, I know the feeling
I lost 3 friends this year to cancer

I say it everyday to my wife
‘Life is good’

We only have a short time here on earth
Don’t take it for granted

I'm sorry to hear about Dave. It sure sucks when death becomes a better place, but I get your meaning. Certainly not what he deserved.

John, buddy, you will be in my thoughts until I hear better news. I know you're a survivor
