The car I mean.. I just totaly became a hot-rodder when I seen this movie.. I loved that car Elvis had.. I have one the same in my barn for over 25 years now.. And Alas.. For me my time has passed. I still have the car, but I don't have the Human body to ever see it on the road.. But you heard of those guys .. "I'm gonna fix it up some day"" just not sure of the day.. maybe one of my grand kids will.. It was my first love..

Chuk...you still have it Brother, all you have to learn is pace...one thing a day for the car, that's all Bud. And in no time at all it WILL be finished.

right on . Slow and steady does it. When i was a young un it was work on it till it was done no matter how long it took. Now i have kind of mellowed, or just realised what my body was telling me. My chevvy is still a work in progress and progress is VERY SLOW. Its been since 1976 and now its a question of who will be finished first, my body or my car. But i still plug away at it.
Words of encouragement from rochie though and i am hopeful for more driving and shows this summer. Chuck,, i realise you have had a tough year but just an hour or two here and there and progress will be made. Hang in there bud.
Skipping the sob story.. But I just don't have it in me anymore.. I am not sure if I will pass it on to one of my grand kids or what i will do with it .. Haven't had a lot of interest in much of anything since my old girl and partner went into long term care with dementia.. I struggle just to get through most days.. and damn glad I still have my dog.. I don't know how I would have made it through this last year with out my best friend Riley.. The shop has no interest to me anymore , I have not been in the shop except to make sure the water is not froze since last fall.. If you have not walked this journey you have no idea how tough it can be to lose your best friend.. I am struggling just to move on each day.. .. No tears for me it's a natural part of life .. it's not often we go together , one is always left at the end of the journey.. but it's still tough becuase we can never prepare
