Sorry to hear about the Rally being postponed. I have read and seen plenty of photos about the great times to be had at the ECFR. I will be attending that Rally in 2015.

Kev,

You could throw some bags on Candy and come join us for a ride through hillbilly country next week. Central Rally in Arkansas

Hey thanks Fred and Scott.......I suppose I should also come clean...I have been trying not be a kill joy so I have not been entirely forthright and open about some things going on.....I had such a perfect plan for myself in November of last year........I was sailing along wonderfully and everything was perfect..... I was going to go to Australia.....hang out for a month....come back home to my job (waiting for me........my crew was able to keep working for me with the contractor who hired me while I was away-arrangements were made).....so I was supposed to be making money even while I was away. I planned to come home.....in March.......go get Candy's new modified port and polished engine drop her off and have her ready for May(she was ready only last October so it made not sense to throw the engine in her just b4 before winter's arrival  :mail1:)
   Then something happened while I was on vacation........I came off the Blue Tuna...not a big deal right? Wrong....... !!!!!! I came home to find out my crew had quit the day I left.....and I was unable to return to work for 6-8 weeks minimum.....no problem right? Wrong.......my Union......declined me short term disability because it happened while I was on holidays !! So I have had to play goalie until I was fit to return to work (zero income for the last 4 months!!!!).......I got clearance from the Doctor 3 weeks ago........ So then it was time to put a new crew together and then find a house........so  after posting ads for finding a new crew.....and then finding a new Contractor.....I was finally able to put it all together.......and started working again on 2 new houses a week ago.......the shoulder has been stubborn.....but we are finally able to swing the ole mallet again........ :good:
So......in closing.........CanD should be ready to ride by the middle of August ( I miss here terribly)... and I plan to make up for a lot of lost riding.......I have some priorities that need immediate attention......but I think these storm clouds are finally moving on. I have missed this place and the friends I have made here.....but this whole ordeal has made me a better man !!!
I am finally in a good place again and will enjoy finishing my trip report Down under......It really means a lot to me that you would extend an invite to join you.... I will do my best to one day have the pleasure of meeting up .......thx  :drinks:
