Default Well, it finally over

The divorce is finally over. We settled on the 23rd and I cant tell you how revlieved I am. I can finally move on with my life. The way I see it now is that she is his headache now and can bleed his wallet dry or once the "arm charm" factor wears off he will pitch her off for the next "young un".

The only downside is not seeing my kids enough. But hopefully that will change in the near future when Sailer gets a little older.

I could tell you guys alot of things that have happened over the past few months but I'll save you guys from that. And since she still likes to check up on me on the websites (at least she still worries about me enough to do that...how touching LOL), I'll save her the embarrasment.

As far as moving on, lets just say I have "upgraded", BIG TIME. (but at least I waited until the divorce was final....man that was tough).

So its time to start turning and burning on the race car. To bad the wallet wont support a rebuild now so it will be one nut and bolt at a time. So I figure by the time my son is old enough to drive it should be running again.

Oh, and you guys should start seeing more of me. I dont know if thats a blessing or a curse....LOL!

Welcome back to life buddy. As tough as it was to get thru, getting divorced was the 3rd best thing that ever happened to me (marrying Linda a few years later was #1, having our son was #2).

Now get that hunk-o-junk running will ya?

Need to get with that other old man running around here to get my load moved to a more appropriate location to start work on it. Since I dont have the money to get anything major done on it right now it will be alot of busy work just getting it ready for the major stuff.

Take it to the Bonneville 100 in June?

Maybe you & Bill could go in on Jeffs Vette as a team for a while so BOTH of your sorry asses could get back into the game? THen you could take the motor next year for your car & Bill could have the car to fix up or sell....

Considering Bill just bought a house.....wait whats one of those? I think I had one at one time but for some reason it slipped through my fingers. Anyways, I dont think his Mrs. would be to keen on another purchase that would be nothing but a financial sink hole.

And hey, I was in the game all last season.
