Teri and I appreciate all of the cards, notes, calls, and emails from our GMC friends, most of whom we have met in person. It has been a long winter but I have no complaints. Not once have I been sick through this entire ordeal. Zapped of any usable energy, yes, many times. So thankful that I have not been physically ill one time. Not even when my gall bladder got pierced. Now, that was pure pain for 24 hours, then it was gone. I have had more prayers offered up for me than you can believe and I appreciate every one.
Some time back I removed myself from this net as I was tired of being jumped on by a couple of new folks who know so much more than I do. With my problems I just don't need any added stress. I don't offer technical advice on here. As a small kid on the farm, I had lots of responsibility heaped upon me. That continued on through my stay in the Air Force and then throughout a 29 year career. Putting folks in jail was never difficult but I tried to keep the publics safety in mind and never took it lightly, especially when releasing them back into our neighborhoods. When I retired I promised myself no more responsibility, just a smile as we travel in our GMC. As long as I offer no advise I am not responsible when a wheel falls off ones GMC.  Ken B says things are much better on the net so I am glad to be back among friends. We can all disagree but we can do so without demeaning one another. If I have upset one soul here I am sorry for my behavior.
So, our gmc is in the driveway waiting to make lots of short trips this summer. Part of the headliner is down but who cares. I can't physically put it back up yet, however it is heavily insulated.
Bob Drews and I have similar problems however we have been treated a lot different. Right now you can not tell by being around me that I have a physical problem, as long as I take it easy. I am very saddened by Bobs ill health. I have no clue what lies ahead for Teri and I but I have no complaints. I retired on my 52nd birthday for a reason. The memories from the last 7 years will always be with us. Best of all, we have met most of you in person and y'all have treated us very special.
I care about what others think about me. I can't help it. My dad instilled that into me as a small child. Believe it or not, I was not always such a nice guy, , as I am now. People just seemed to not like me during my "criminal" career. As Harry Truman said, I had to stop the buck in my office no matter who thought what. Today, I am passing that buck right on out to my friends, you guys.
Have a great weekend and come see us.
