hey thanks to everyone. I am 69 today and feel great! ray, the ball game was a little one sided tonight, still fun. b j no new toys except a new chevy suv and a gt mustang ( opps I said a bad word) but it's a fun little hot rod. phil, Ronnie asked me a couple of weeks ago if retirement was good and if I was coming to the convention. yes retirement is good. we are doing a lot of hot rod work, just the thing I like. building a 409for a guy in Columbus that's always fun! yes, I am coming to the convention. not sure yet if we will have a car there. it will be great to see everyone again. loren
