Just wanted to give everyone a heads up on my disappearance as I haven't been around much.

We found out a couple of weeks ago that dad has cancer so that pretty much brought everything to a screeching halt. The original prognosis was good and with the new treatments he would get 3 treatments in a week and be fine. Now more spots have shown up on a scan and they are not sure what they are. If they prove to be cancer then that will be 8 weeks of radiation therapy and a much worse gig so we are holding out hope for the best.

Last month my cousin Angie had a heart attack and didn't make it through. She was a couple of years older than me so that was a shocker.

2 days ago my cousin had a seizure and died, she was around my age so that came as a surprise as well.

Most of the family is in Alabama right now as my aunt had surgery today and they gave her about a 10% chance of making it through. She survived the surgery and is in ICU at the moment so we are waiting to see what happens there.

Needless to say things have been a bit hectic around here and working 10-15 hour days are not helping things out. Not sure when things are going to go back to what passes for normal around here but just wanted to let everyone know that I hadn't completely fallen off the face of the Earth and I am still around.

Thanks guys. I haven't been around much as things have been a little chaotic. I will fill you all in over hopefully celebratory beers soon.

Spotted Doug at the Sprint store at miller and linden picking up a new phone. Still spotting him since he is about 18 inches away from me.

This was installed the day I bought it which was 12/31/2008 and was removed 11/18/2010 when I sold the Jeep. $225 obo for all.

Sony CDX-GT420IP 52x4 channel detachable face CD deck with Mounting kit for Wrangler and prewired with Wrangler wiring harness. Full iPod control with iPod cable included.

Polk Audio DB521 5 1/2" speakers for the sound bar
Polk Audio DB461 4x6 Speakers for the front with the correct Wrangler mounting plates attached.

Yea, what they said!  ::woot::

What time are we headed out there and what time are we headed back? Just curious so I can plan my day.

Matt - Cody had mentioned that you might be willing to give a Jeepless brother a lift to this fine event? That would be greatly appreciated since J9 is taking the Tracker and I don't want to gut the 7 day old Toyota getting there.  :oops:

I do not sir, still running the stock front bumper. However I do still have your freshly repaired hi lift that I still owe you for.

I may soon be among you.  :cry:  The Jeep has come to the point that it is no longer finacially viable to keep as a daily driver. I am spending more on gas than I am for my payment and insurance combined. I can't afford to keep it as Janine is going to need a new car as well soon so it may be moving on and I will be getting something more fuel effecient as a daily driver if I can work a decent trade.

HOWEVER, when it goes we will be keeping an eye out for CJ's, YJ's and older TJ's after Janine gets a new car that we can pick up cheap as a 3rd vehicle to wheel so it is not all bad. Besides, if I am not using a Jeep as my DD I am not as concerned about damaging it so I can wheel it harder. So I may be Jeepless for a while in the near future but it is not a permanent situation.  ::woot::

bring the Warn bag to the next meeting consider it sold.

Yup, that was me. was headed to Lapeer to see the in-laws. Threw a wave and then a honk after I saw who it was.  

Thanks everyone. As you can imagine I have had my hands full and haven't been around much. I am also still kind of recovering as Fathers day I got to enjoy my new son.......right up until I went downstairs to ER due the food poisoning I got from the food in the hospital cafeteria. Needless to say it has been quite the introduction to parenthood so far.  :lol:

That would be better than changing a crappy diaper

Those diapers say they hold up to 30 pounds so.......  

My guess was 6/13 as well but after Janines visit to the doctor they told us that if he doesn't move out on his own before the 17th that he is getting evicted.  :lol: So it looks like if they induce on the 17th that he will probably be here on the 18th so Neil may be the winner on that one, we will see.

Did I mention that the prize in the pool is the winner gets to build me a new front bumper?  

Thanks everyone. No baby news yet. Any minute though so we are a little on edge ourselves here.

Been busy and haven't been around. The event was great even with the lousy weather. Had fun hanging out and chatting with everyone. The after party was fun as well and we enjoyed having everyone over who stopped by.
