Be very careful who you get friendly with. I will leave it at that. There is a lot of history with certain characters on this thread that is causing the emotion. A lot of it is not good history.
Some are playing nice, and they usually aren't. Some are playing bad, and they usually aren't. Some are playing bad and they usually are. Be careful. And since this thread has lost most of it's appeal, I'm going over to Hardcore sledder in the general section. Atleast with those brutal battles I don't know anyone. |

Oh yeah, you don't build anything, you just talk the talk. There's one on every Internet site. :popcorn: |

Dan was correct, i was at a wake for a friend of mine, which tends to put things into perspective.
My friend Nick, was a father of 2. I met him about 15 years ago, when I worked for the state of illinois highway department back then. I was just a kid, out in the workforce, Nick, had been there for years at that time. He took me under his wing, schooled me, and overall made me part of the team. Anyhow, the guy worked two jobs his entire life, one working for the highway dept, the other as a part time police officer. He was a family man, and took good care of his wife and kids, putting them thru private schools, and all that. He recently retired from the state, and continued working as a police officer. His kids are now grown. He saved and saved his cash from his side jobs, and just this spring, finally bought himself the classic car he has wanted for so long. It was a 69 impala, clean car, nothing super fancy. He was so excited about cleaning up the original 327, and taking it to shows. He even had a vanity plate made for it, which said "My Time". A month ago he went to the doctor with stomach pain that was bothering him. Come to find out, he had liver cancer. He spent the last month, in the hospital, getting all kinds of treatments, until there was nothing left to do. He was released last friday under the care of hospice, and died in his sleep the next morning. 6 weeks ago, he was waxing his dream car enjoying life, and today, he lie in a casket , leaving behind his wife and children. And yet, we are here, arguing like a bunch of spoiled kids (myself included) over the best way to make horsepower for our offshore high performance boats. Nick would have gave his left nut, to have any of the engines most of us have, let alone a boat. My real regrets tonight, are not being able to shake my friends hand one last time thanking him for being a good friend to me, before he passed. Sorry to get off topic, and debbie downer this party, but , its where im at in the moment. Nick thought it was "my time" , and it was, just in an entirely different manner. Rather than continue arguing on this thread over nonsense, I will step back this evening, and be thankful for what I have going. |

horsepower1,u and i did not see i to i when you first appeared as horsepower1.i have been sitting back and reading what you post.i told you i am not one to jump on the band wagon and i form my own opinion,well sir you have proven to me that you are for real,and that you post good,factual information.my advice to you would be ,don,t let people like zone suck you into bickering.some people can be shown in black&white but they will still believe what the say to be correct because when someone thinks they know everything they can no longer learn anything.i want to apoligize for posting what you sent me in a pm,i was wrong for doing that and i will never make that mistake again.i have not been posting much lately because i am tired of listening to the bs that has been flying around here lately.
