As alot of you know...my father isn't well and I finally  got a doctor to talk to me. He told me my father has only a few days left.

 So life being fickle as it is has dealt me one kick after another.

 First, Dad's illness

 Second, my wifes car (2000 VW Passat) broke down (Oil Pressure problem) Diagnosis ongoing....

 Third, My 2005 GMC Truck broke down.  Knock Sensor and leak on the intake.

 Wonder what's next....
 
 So we are now driving the vette full time until the truck gets back later today.

 I went and bought a couple lottery tickets last night, I figure my luck's gotta change soon.

Jim, I know the feelin! How much lemonade can one person drink, right?

My dad has to go back in for more cancer treatments...again...
Out of 5 cars, I only have two that are really dependable...the '74 Vette, and Mama's Cad.
I still have no job... Still looking...

I keep tellin myself and Mama, that everything will work out. Some days, I don't really believe it, but...got to keep goin with our heads held high.

Seems like things come in sets of three ( I didn't realize that "The Big Guy" upstairs was such a baseball fan...!!!).

Life is like a ferris wheel going round and round and round.  Every up is usually followed by a down.  Hang on and enjoy the ride...!!!

Sorry about your dad Jim. It's a hard thing to go through, and there's no way around it, so meet it head on and do the best you can. Keep your family close!

Take care & I hope to see you again soon.

I think life is just tough, each day is prepartion for what comes next. So much to learn from begining to end... so much to pass on so that the events weren't in vain.
Each moment as the events pass we learn as well as those who witness them with us. Hang in there bro for yourself and for those watching. You will reap the reward althouh sometime it is undetechtable.
