Its been a while guys.
« on: February 18, 2013, 12:16:45 PM »
Hi guys. I haven't been on line too much recently.

Married life is ok I guess. I'm still married so I tues its going ok. She was.busting my chops dor a dog. I didnt really want one but she was making me crazy. So I told her to stop the big search and if the right dog came along then we would do a reacue dog.

Well low and behold a little 3 year old shih-tzu turned up in shelters in newark NJ. So we now have him since Oct and its the best thing we did. This lil guy was skin n bones and had hair down to the ground. He's black and white nd the guys at the shelted named him Mario. From the video game.

Mario in now a healthy 17 lbs from a scrawny 11 lbs.

The 65 GS only needs the trunk pan to start priming and getting it back on the frame. It's been sitting for about a year or more.

I was not affected by Sandy thankfully. Lost power for 9 days.

I have been working like crazy. Some work due to Sandy. I'll try and stop by more often. I miss all the guys and all the gossip lol.

I'm working at Gramercy Park in NY right now. Doing a 12 to 12 today.

Talk soon and hope everyone here is doing ok.

It's good to hear from you Joe! Relieved you escaped Sandy's wrath... thought you and your GS got swept into the Atlantic!

Joe! Welcome back! Work is good.... And keep us posted on the car.
The dog thing, it's one of those "compromise" things. We had to let our first one go
About 4 years ago, she was 16. I tried to put off another after that, but had to give
In. The one we got, a shelter stray, is just a gem.

Welcome back Joe!! :hello2: :occasion14: I've also been wondering where you've been. :dontknow: Glad to see that work has picked up for you, even if's Sandy related. Even happier that Sandy did not adversely affect you.

Dogs sure can take over ones heart, which is why I haven't gotten another one. When that itch needs scratching, my bro and sis-in-law have two who will gladly take care of that!!

OH yeah, some of us have acquired new rides, like me. :headbang:  :thumbsup:
