Fred,

Glad to see you and your wife are recovering. When you're up to it and feel like it, I'd like to hear what happened. That little truck of yours is a mess.
My wife Elaine hit a full sized Ford PU with her Nissan PU back in 96. Did $5,000 in damage to it. It was fixed and she's still driving it. But, I think your truck is kinda ruined.

Sorry, I guess I'm late to the party - but glad to hear he's back to being the same ol' Fred !

At least it sounds like him - I think he'll talk to a tree, if noone was available.

As Blaine might say, He's shore a sight, for sore eyes.

Morning guys, I am taking in all the commemts. Insurance paid me almost 75% of original purchase. Did hold its value, maybe because they don't sell a small one any more.

You know, it just occurred to me ...... that self portrait of OS's office worker lounging around by the pool ..... why isn't she at work? They say that while the cat's away, the mice will play. OS, you better check up on your office!

Merengue is a pretty fast dance for you to be attempting just yet. Try the cha-cha or a nice salon tango.

Broke a fumur back in '78. They put a stainless steel rod in it for a about a year. Even back then, it was a bit of a hassle getting through airport security. I wouldn't care to try it these days!
