Glad to hear you're recovering, don't piss it away! 
You better put a little “lunch” in the GTX or you’ll be operating off the back of a tow truck. Lol - looks like you’re running her on empty.....So today I decide it's time to get reacquainted with the ol' girl.
Now, nevermind the fact I'm under orders for "no physical activities" and "no lifting over 10 pounds"....
and nevermind the fact my wife has already ripped me a new one for sneaking out and doing light chores
around the place already.
No, it was time, ready or not.
I tell her I'll be going to town to run some light errands and I'll meet her for lunch at 1pm.
She assumes I'll be in my cushy Ram with a/c and power everything...
After all, it's in the 90's and hot as hades. Surely I wouldn't be so stupid as to take out the GTX....
Yeah, well, step into my office:

Here goes nothing...
I get to all the joints I need to and by the time I get to her place, I'm a puddle of sweat and audibly wheezing.
Oops.
She comes around the front of her workplace and sees the GTX and about has a conniption in public.
Good thing lunch was right next door.
Recovered in the a/c and belly full of the best little burger in town, I head back towards home.
Yeah, it was hot. Yeah, I pushed things a little. Yeah, not the sharpest tool in the shed sometimes.
But - it needed done. Imperative, even.
Added bonus: the car did great and I'm starting to trust her a little more.
Biggest bonus: I caught myself grinning like an idiot going down the little highway towards home.
Literally smiling to no one but myself - and to Him, of course. Even got a little emotional....
It was flucking GLORIOUS.![]()
Naw. Just another victim of the "can't find a good repro sending unit".You better put a little “lunch” in the GTX or you’ll be operating off the back of a tow truck. Lol - looks like you’re running her on empty.....
I don't suspect for a moment you intended anything untowards, Ghost. There wouldn't be anything to be gained by doing so.I didn't mean to hijack the thread. Thanks, we are all well and happy.
Very kind of you MM. Thanks!Don't know how I missed this thread, but here I am a day late and a dollar short, as usual! LOL. This is a very inspirational thread and I hope it continues to bring about happy endings. I am not a really religious type but have witnessed too many miracles not to believe. None of us know what our purpose is here on earth. We must not forget to be thankful for the littlest things that we take for granted everyday because everyday is a gift. Keep fighting the good fight Ed and God bless all of the good folks on this site and in the world.
What was that old movie? "God Is My Co-Pilot" - Seems kind of fitting here.
Thanky kindly Bob!Ed, a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY too you and many more!!

The night before the surgery, I wasn't sleeping (of course) and I stepped outside to do what rednecks do out here in the country - namely, take a wizz.![]()
