    Well, we are getting the house back somewhat in order from the 12/26 tornado. We lost 3 cars to falling trees and debris flying around, but the 3 of us and the dog survived. I will never look at the sky the same way. A sad thing to mention is that the garage ceiling got wet due to a part of a missing roof and it fell in on the 40. Took it to the detail shop and he did a good job buffing it out but somebody wanted it more than I wanted to keep it. So,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,considering all things, such as health, age, etc. I have decided to hang it up. This has been a real great ride here on the HAMB and I have really enjoyed it. Car people are the best people ever. Adios, Marty.

    terrible thing to go thru - but, all of you being OK is most important - as for not having an old car right now is not a reason to leave - we are a pretty easy group (most of the time), and have plenty of people without a ride for one reason or another - have to admit that you can not find this type of entertainment for free just anywhere - never know , another old car may drop into your lap some day in the future
     
  7. Say it ain't so. We'll miss you so don't be a stranger.:)

    Sorry to read this and causes me to think a decision like yours will face us all at sometime. Hope when this happens for me I can handle it with the grace you are!

    Best wishes!

  11. Marty - sad to hear - hadn't know of any local HAMB guys that got hit by the storms - can you still hang with us a while ?
    Lost a buddy off the bridge during the storm - you know the one over I-30....he was an old school buddy - at least we got together for our 40th in July of that last year.....hang with us a little while - will ya ?
