I think......

Rob, I've known ya for a long time and you have helped me big time over the years and taught me alot. Even when we were squabbling. And I owe ya big time. But I can't lie and say I didn't see this coming when you said it to me last night. It killed me inside a little to see you say "I'm gonna get rid of everything" but I knew it was coming between your health being a constant snowball and your budget being an ever-narrowing constraint. I know from what all you have told me and what we have talked about that its not in the cards at the moment and trying to jump the hurdles just to make it work is just tripping you up more. I know one day you will just have another project in your driveway, but it will be one singular project most likely. I really wanted to see you complete your rat rod as I know that is a big goal of yours and has been for a while but its the furthest from completion. I hope things magically turn around for you, but I know in all honesty, things don't work that way as sad as that is and as much as that brings a tear to my eye. You know I will always talk to ya buddy and I will always try and help in some sort of way. Here's to ya buddy. One of the most knowledgeable guys I know. Even if you don't have a car to tinker with, you will always be helping me tinker with my chit somehow. Hell, I'll let you borrow my junk to work on it if it makes ya happy lmao.
