Completely off topic

[pgermond]

Okay, I know..... this is completely off the topic of cars, motors, brakes, lights, fluids, etc, etc, etc, however, having met many of you, and knowing what family, friends, and life mean to you - I thought you might appreciate this. If not, then disregard.

It's not as much off the topic as you might think! One of the more enjoyable pursuits that I presently undertake is driving my 289 FIA Cobra. This past Friday I underwent an exploratory surgical procedure as they determined that I had a "high probability" of bladder cancer.

They found nothing, nada, zip, zilch!! With TREMENDOUS relief, every meal since then has been savored, and I just got back from a 100 mile early morning Cobra ride, and it was very exhilirating. Love those stop signs, it's another chance to go through the gears!!

Thanks for posting the topic .. it is really very much in line with owning and ENJOYING a Cobra!!! Have a great 4th, 5th., 6th. and every day you're fortunate enough to be above ground!

Phil, Thanks for posting this, it is a very nice reminder. Matthew and I played golf today, he has wanted to for weeks. I'll be too old to play this stupid game too soon.

Thank you, PG.

All too easy to get wrapped up in the pains of the day and easier still to forget to live.

Good stuff, amigo.

Yeehah

Good Brent--dang good-will-alabama you all have helped me along today-much thanks.

Great message Phil After I survived cancer back in 1988 I got the license plate for my truck and still have it on my Expedition LIV LIF (live life) we try to do it daily, it is a gift we need to make the most of.

I'm glad all of you saw the value. Brent - yours is excellent as well. As for me, well we just got back from a coule of days of fishing on the North Fork of the Yuba River and at Upper Sardine Lake (between Sierra City and Greagle). Spent the night in Downieville at a real nice Inn on the river, and got to know some of the "locals." We know have a standing invitation to camp at real-life, full-blown gold mining operation on the Yuba. I didn't spend the whole 84,600 each day.... but I came close!
