Whew! I was concerned you might be thinking I was busting your chops!!
Reminded me of years back at the USN air base in Corpus - had a gas truck driver named Hector that must have tipped the scales at 450# to 500#I mean this guy was so big his gut hung into the fuel truck steering wheel, so he had to pull the wheel through the fat to turn around the planes, and he NEVER wanted to get out of the truck!! Saw him pull through the gate one morning in his old '56 Chevy, sagging about 6" lower to the driver's side
Funny thing was, he stopped at the Navy Exchange to buy some junk food for breakfast, and as he got out of the car it STAYED THAT WAY!!
The DS springs had been so severely overloaded for so long that they were totally flat!!
Sorry for the hijack, old memories!!Roger
Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.
I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
