Hi All,

Yes I'm still alive and hoping you're all doing well. Just a thought, The only good thing about the big stinking pile of **** (really "p o o p" is censored!!!) called 2020 has been alcohol and or drugs. Oh and my 2 favorite shows Roadkill & Roadkill Garage. Lets all hope 2021 is a whole lot better.

All my best, be safe and to semi-quote Bill & Ted "Let's all try and be excellent to each other always.”
“The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.” ~ Mark Twain

    Oh, Listen here mister. We got no way of understandin' this world. But we got as much sense of this bird flyin in the sky. Now there is a lot that bird don't know, but it don't change the fact that the world is happening to him all the same. What I am tryin to say is, is that the course of your life, well its changing, and you don't even see it- Forest Bondurant
