    Feeling a little better so heres an up date.

    day before yesterday felt pretty good so, took a small ($200) load of copper to dothan. then back to panama city to buy a scooter for $200 for my daughter Morgan. turns out it was a 12 hr day in a cramped nisson back seat. turned out to bne a little much, a little too early so had sort of a re;aps yesterday.

    back in 69 bwhile I was still raceing, I kissed the wall with the front bumper and did a few endies. The cars wern't built as well then so I broke a few bones. two of them fractured vertibay took me about a year to heal enough to go back raceing. then is 72 at riverside the same track I did it all over again and broke a few more including 1 in my back and one in my neck, It basecly ernded the raceing bit for me, was never able to get compettitive again. any way they were painfull for a few years then ya kind of get used to the pain, so didn't let it bother me much.

    don't know what the Doc did in that operating room but it tore my back up way worse then the crashes did. the pain has been almost unbearable.



    as I mentioned whale #3 called the other day and I sort of stood him up once already with 5 or 6 storage units full of towers I thought it wist to go see him today.

    what a kick in the Nutz, he had the 5 units but vmost was useless junk, the whale turned out to be minnow bait. [I] ended up with 5 towers, 6 Dtv boxes a box of mistulanious cords, drives etc. and another lond day.

    hooked 4 whales so far but only landed 1 but the bright side, if it was all good it would be very booring.

    Olddude, don't push yourself too fast too soon. The stuff will be there when your ready, if not then it wasn't meant to be,,,

    Good to see you up and about olddude, but take time to heal first. I know no one wants to miss a deal, but don't forget your health, it's more important. That being said, I'd probably be doing the same thing you are!

    Dude, seriously take this time to chill and heal. I was in a wheelchair and/or on crutches for 2 1/2 years! I always over did it because i got too anxious and ended up in the hospital too many times. You can learn from this young guy....... just like you have always forced yourself too work your whole life, you have to force yourself to let your body heal. Unnecessary pain slows down the healing process. before you know you'll be right back in the game!
    Determine never to be idle. No person will have occasion to complain of the want of time who never loses any. It is wonderful how much may be done if we are always doing.

    I know it is hard for you to do, but slow down and heal.

    Go slow for a little while. Like the others said the short cut is to take the time to heal, Mike.
