About 10 days ago I had a minor but temporarily debilitating surgery, so I've been mostly housebound for a while. Well, today I revolted. I cranked up the ol' truck, took the grandson to get fireworks, went to the local fruit stand and stopped to visit a friend. I was out in the TT for about 3 hours.

Best therapy possible!!

Good for you Henry.

I wish you the best!

Well done Henry, Hope you feel better.

I mutinied yesterday too.
Just had to get away from the wife, her daughter, the 2 grand daughters, their 2 Jack Russell Terriers. My daughter, her 5 year old and his 50# Golden Retriever puppy for a few hours.
Just got in the Model T, and split. Didn't tell anybody where I was going. Went to the local car show and hung out with "da Boyz with the toys" for a while. A man has his limits.

Somtimes you just have to take matters into your own hands.

Dennis (& Henry) - A bit "off topic" but maybe a good place to expound a bit on a similar family situation I have like yours Dennis:

My #3 Son, Capt. Daniel M. Schwendeman, U.S. Air Force, retired after 20 plus years, and daughter-in-law Naoko, grand daughter Kiana (12) and grandson Nikolas (10) and their 2 Maltese puppies, Mochi & Dixie are temporarily staying with us as he has several job applications, one of which has very strong indications of a management position with a large transportation company, once this company decides just where in the "lower 48" they'd like to position him.

By the way, just prior to Dan's retirement, he was awarded a medal and citation for his major part in the planning and emergency evacuation of approx 9,000 people (military famlies) from Japan due to the earthquake/tsunami/radiation disaster.

Anyway, yesterday, our local Model T Club had a tour in which I participated in by riding along with a friend in his Model A roadster. I think we had 8 Model T's, and the one Model A roadster. An excellent day for all concerned, except that we had one vehicle break down, and it WASN'T one of the Model T's! Anyway, it made for a long day for me, as it took quite a bit of time to get the "cripple" back home in the shop, now awaiting repairs.

However, as Paul Harvey used to say,......"the rest of the story"!

Some good comes from even the unfortunate event of a breakdown; it was neat to see how the club guys rallied together to come up with a truck and trailer to get the cripple home, and it's owner has already had the offer of 3 or 4 transmissions! That's what clubs are for, right? I think the comraderie (sp?) is the best thing of all,........harold
