This is a testament to a dauntless geezer. Good to see you are doing as well as can be expected. At 56, I would still be struggling with the damage. Look forward to reading your future installments. :)

Your '15 roadster may be a bit twisted up now, Steve, but your restoration tips and videos have helped me put my own '15 back on the road. Many thanks.

I got "the rest of 2023" posted, but the combination of age, TBI, and changes by the hosting company are making it hard to post the start of 2024, especially a page with a picture. This old dog may learn the new tricks eventually, but it's tough sledding so far.

Joe took this picture of me sitting in his 1913 in Weiser ID. The building is Weiser Care, the rehab center there where I spent three weeks of my recuperation. Of the several pictures that day (December 17) this is the only one that isn't hopelessly blurry. The camera I recently got to replace that one seems to work OK so far.

Continuing the HTML battle, I think I've finished 2023 and January/February 2024. The hangup has been getting all the links working. Now that I've done that (I think), I can concentrate on March and April.

It's taking forever, especially getting all the links to work, but I think I'm caught up now through March. I doubt that I'll try to post every day, but by the end of April the blog should be pretty much back to normal, even if I am not. :D
