Good morning Wayne: Just to update you on my position.. I am not going to let the site dissapear  by any means.. Just my personal life has had several major life changing episodes in the last 5 years that has changed much of my life, time, finances, health etc.. I just have a chit load of other things that came into my everyday life and time.. that has changed so much about how and what I do.. I have driven or even started my ride in two years.. You know I had that damn flesh eating infection after cutting my leg on one ot the pads on my hoist, turned into a night mare for well over a year, then My wife was suffering with dementia, I was trying to keep it together with my leg and take care of her and still try to work in the shop to finish up a couple projects that needed to get finished.. I was having a lot of trouble to keep up the shop and maintain my own stuff lawnmowers, (I have 5 acres of grass to cut) my poor old mower is 20 years old and it seems like i work as much I use it.. this last year we had so much rain I was cutting almost every 6 or seven days and it takes a day  to cut..

I have just not been able to keep up trying to keep involved as much as previously.. I was getting a bit concerned that it seemed like,  if I was not trying to keep some hot button conversations going, about anything the board was slowing.. So my thoughts were to possibly pass control of the board to somebody with more passion to rasie some cain, maybe they could get the fire burning again.. I am not going to shut it down and I am not in any hurry to find the right person to either help with moderating and or promoting the board..

And a couple other things on my mind, I have lost 17 close friends this last year, family including my kid brother, 3 uncles, 4 aunts, some cousins and several good car Buddies and friends. And just on the road I have lived on for over 40 years, I have lost 5 neighbours, One close to a really horrible accident in his shop almost directly accross the road from me.. All this has kicked my ass and set me back a bit with just not feeling so great, or enthuseastic about chit.. We won't even go with all this Pandemic chit that seems like it will never friggen-end..Despite all of this .. I am getting feeling better a little every day this last couple weeks. I am back on my bike for 20min every morning, 

I just got a New Dog, lost my mini Scnauzer Riley 2 years ago on my Birthday.. If you have and love your dog you will understand that emotional loss without my explaing and how it hits you.. Life Was tough after my wife went into lont term care but at Least I had Riley untill he passed.. I just a new to me Mini Scnauzer, he is a rescue dog He was supposed to put down on Aug the 7th the day  I picked him up from the Vet in Georgetown/ville ?? he was supposed to be put down and I got notice about him and went and got him.. His owners tortured him so he has major fear problems of people and "was a biter" .. I have had him now for 4 months today, he bit me once and now he has space to run, play and he does not bite anymore he still has night fears and on some nights when it gets dark he will hide under a bed or , where ever he can find a place to feel safe.. but he is great and I love the little monkey, "Hudson" he has breathed new life and energy into me as,  he needs walking, playing, fresh air, Huggin he takes a hour or two everyday and in ways he is a pain in the Tranny but, he keeps me busy, and he is just making me feel a lot better about everything.. great company,

So here is hoping for everybody as this year comes to end I hope this spring all this doom and gloom in the world and all the crap and stupidity spewing from our Governmets lockdowns, restrictions on any and all events leave with the winter.. I am sick of hearing about Carbon taxes, Climate change, fossil fuels for our "hot-rods"..   and COVID.. Merry Christmas to all and to all A Happy New Year!! we need to get our lives, hobbys, eating out, some swaps, Cruises, and get back to life.. Couple more months and we will soon be looking a new and busy Spring .. I guess I have rambled on enough.. I just want to assure everyone I am not going anywhere, and I am not burning the board. I am just hoping more of the members,brothers rodders of all makes and models keep involved and postingand sharing information, good times and bad.. I can't do it alone I need the members/brothers to keep in the loop. for some of us our best days in the shop are past and we are now spectators, advisors and Critics..lol
