Good morning folks,Chuck moving gives me nightmares,I reckon that's why I love living in a camper,ain't got to worry about moving you just take all your stuff with you when you move the camper, ......................................

I would like to have a living quarters trailer that way I could just live up front and have my garage right there with me,now to me that would be cool............... ...............................

But that's why it is good that we all ain't a like they would only be one way things get done and to ,me that would be boring ..........................................

Good luck with all the moving and happy happy home ownership day to you my friend.......................... ...............................

Prayers out to all on this sunday morning and I hope it's a good day for all ya'll................. ...............................................................

Good Evening All;

Mike; I totally agree. And, I get to sleep in my own bed no matter where I am.

When we first started RVing, I had every intention of buying a Renegade 40' motorhome, and a 35' stacker trailer. After I thought about it for awhile, I realized it would be difficult finding RV parks with 75 foot sites AND, have drive ways I could get a low slung 35' race trailer in and out without dragging the bottom off......OH, and the fact that the $6.73 I had in my jeans at the time would not cover the gas for the test drive, much less the down payment. So, I didn't.

I am hoppin everyone is doing well. I certainly am. Funny, how I tend to take things for granted. I have been feeling good for a couple weeks now, and I almost forgot how much discomfort I was in. There is a lot to be said for feeling good. Think I will do it again tomorrow.

Ya'll Be Of Good Cheer!!!!

Good morning folks, Ken you are so right about feeling good and the attuide it gives you,I've got to work on my attuide some it's been a hard winter on my old worn out legs, but for a 106 yr.old man I'm good, that's what the dr. tells me about my bones and the aching that sometimes keeps me down, with the bone issues I have my bones are double my age so all in all doing pretty good....................... ..........................................

Well Mannys out of school today we had alittle snow and ice overnight mostly on the mt. but the school system that he goes to covers on top of mt.and below the mt. so sometimes the suns a shining down here in the valley of Cana,and the ground is covered on top of the mt. Funny thing is to some folks down south of us say we live on the mt. ..........well wherever we are Mannys out of school for today,happy happy ................................................

Well hope ya'lls day is a goodern see ya'll later................... .........................................

But at least we had a place to be. Y'all have a gooden. to all the ladies.

Oh, that buddy of mines wife had her surgery and seems to be doing okay considering it was 10 hours long. She's going to have a lot of pain for a while but it looks good so far.

Mornin' all! It's official, I am now a homeowner. Did the walk through yesterday, got all the keys. Took a load of stuff over to put into the garage. A dear friend of mine sent me a card, so I could have my first piece of mail at the new house. I have some work to do, just in packing and moving, but also in some of the cosmetics at the house. I am excited though, to have my own piece of land.

Came out of the house to 3 inches of snow this morning, the wet stuff that sticks to everything. It is pretty, but I'm ready for it to be over. It's still coming down good. I can't see across the river.

I got the rest of the 455 dismantled just about. 1 piston came so far out, the oil ring needs compressed so I can knock it out of the top of the bore. Got the crank out, all 3 pieces of it. 1 of the #3 main studs came out with a chucnk of block, as did both #4 main studs, and 1 of the rear main studs. HUGE crack in cylinders 3, 5, and 7. I broke it good.

You all have a great day!

Mornin Y'all!

Chuck, clean it up good, put a glass top over it and you got a coffee table. LOL!


I am 25933 days old.
Which is 3704 weeks and 5 days.
That's 71 years and 0 days, including 18 leap years*,
or 71 years, 0 weeks and 0 days.
How bout that for statstics?

Well Floyd........er, I mean Mr. Staggs. Wow, I didn't know people got THAT old. But you did a good job getting there. Congratulations. Of the two options, growing old is the better.

Hope you have many more, and continue to race.

Ya'll Be Of Good Cheer!!!

Michelle, I sat in there Sunday, and couldn't believe how blessed I am. I'm about 30 minutes from the track, so I'm looking forward to hosting some friends when we have 2 races in a weekend.

Mornin' all! Over center day, in the words of our dear friend Guy. His birthday was this past Saturday. That's all I got to say about that.

Thanks all for the congrats on the house. I am excited to move in, and not worry about putting a nail in the wall to hang a picture.

Susie, I hope you have a great time at the Fling. If Jared Pennington is out there, you have to meet him. One of the best guys around.

Floyd, I hope you celebrated well. Congrats on another personal best.

Good to see you Allen. I think it's awesome you're staying on budget. I hope it all goes together well for you, and you're back on the track soon. If you wouldn't mind, send some warmth up north.

Mike, get you a diablo sammich and a diet Dr Pepper.
Or anything spicy, to chase that cold away.

You all have a great day!

Good Evening All;

Well, sounds like everyone is doing OK. That's good. Things here are good. Been getting a lot of small tasks done around the house. Now I have to start with the paint and trim on the shed. That will be a full days work, and the way I work, make that two, maybe three days.

So, I've been logging on to facebook for a couple months now, but today, I logged off, and I think for good. There is just too much drama, politics, agendas, "likes", and self rightous people on there. This is not a facebook problem, just a me problem. Facebook is what it is, just not for me. Damn, and just when I get unlimited data, and could afford to surf on there, I get tapioca. Oh well.

Anyway,

Ya'll Be Of Good Cheer!!!

Ken Gasbarri

Good morning folks,Ken I'm with you on the FB thing, I lasted about the same amount of time you did, way to much drama on that site for me,so I'm glad to have my friends here on the Drr GM thread,not all that kings and queens of drama here, or atleast I hope it never gets that way.................. ................................

Suns a shining this morning and I'm ready to get after it I'm trying my best to get out and sweat this cold out and do what I do best, not much but enough to keep the wolves from the door......................... ................................

Well hope ya'lls day is good and hope ya'll are Duck Dynasty Happy Happy................... ...................................................

well ,it's good thursday!...
i'm blessed today with life,health,and strength!..
good to see you feeling great mr.Ken..and i hear ya on the fb thing...i keep a close eye on my account cause i'm like you...i aint gonna tolerate the riff-raff and drama....my page is family,reputable friends,and racers only....before i accept any friend requests i send a message and make it clear that i wont put up with hate and discontent....my son thinks he is a thug and was an fb friend for about 30 secs....then he wanted to try me and ....well...i layed hands on him he was healed!!
guess the old man fooled him.

wish you was closer chuck...i would hook you up with int./ext. paint ...i got tons of stock piled up.

glad you had some mannie time micheal!..

mornin' michelle,mouse,mr.Floyd,and who-ever all else....

i gotta run all over the county today and get payed up for the month and cut out to panama city beach....i get to see alaina bug this weekend!..been awhile!....britneys man is settled in now with his new office and is on his way practicing his dentist gig.

ummm...oh!...mornin' susie ...111

Mornin' all! My Friday, spending tomorrow cleaning and packing.

Ken, I hear you on the FB thing. Just like this forum, I take the bad along with the good. It's disappointing to see the hate and nastiness and drama. Life is too short for that. It is a good way to keep in touch, and up to date. My older brother is in CA, and my youngest sister is in SC, plus my friends I meet through traveling to races, and local friends who post up pics of new babies and cute kid stuff, they make it worth it. Don't mean to sound like I'm on a soapbox... just wanting to say that for me, the positives outweigh the negative.

Mike, I hope you get rid of that cold quick. You know our friend Guy would say get you some Los Dos Mexican food!

WAO, I'd take it too! Not sure what will get painted what color yet, but just nice that it's all my choice now. Glad to hear the family is doing well, and you get to Alaina this weekend.

You all have a great day!

Good morning folks,looking like a good easter weekend except for sunday says big chance of rain here, but as Manny says Dad you just never know ................................

And Chuck I agree FB was fun, and I got to speak to people I hadn't seen in years, but it's funny I had more drama with folks I know and neighbors than any of the folks I hadn't seen in a while, I quess the folks you see more often just want to be in your business more than the ones you don't see, and family picking through every word, well that's another day all together................ ..................but all is good in the Drr GM world or atleast it seems to be................. ..............................................

Well have a great day and well try and see ya'll tomorrow.................... .....................................
