Hi All, I have returned.  It's been a long tough year, especially with a broken FJ staring at me, forelornly.  But that is soon to change.  2 ea FJs going to Modesto for a little one2one time with Randy.

More to follow, I promise.  In the meantime, Hi again :good2:

Glad you are back Ed.  You were missed at this year's WCR.  I'm sure Randy will get you sorted out.  Hope to catch up at the next rally.

Thanks everyone, for all the kind words.  I missed being here, among friends. 
     As I stated earlier,  it's been a tough year.  First the FJ broke, leaving me stuck in Flagstaff.  Eventually got home (trailer ride  :ireful:).  Then Sue's car went south 3 weeks later.  Then I lost a job, found another job, still looking for a REAL job.  A few months later, the replacement job started going bad, with layoffs all around.  Then a reduced work week.  Then a new job, and then my father passed away on July 7 (our wedding anniversary). 
     So, now I am getting my feet more steady under me, working graveyard shift, and waiting for Randy to sell my Dad's FJ and get my FJ running again.
I hope to a more regular presence here, and maybe even offer my input and even start riding again sometime soon.

Thanks again for all the support, my friends  :good2:

I wondered why I hadn't seen a post from you in quite some time.....................
Sorry about your year...........sounds an awful lot like the year my wife and I had when we moved to Denver from Phoenix, 2 years ago.
I can relate, cause I lost both my parents that summer................Sorry about your loss. Must be hard to let that FJ go?

Anyway, glad you posted back to keep in contact, and hopefully I'll see you at next year's WCR........... :drinks:
