Title: Divorce
Post by: jasontbird on May 06, 2008, 10:15:55 PM
Well, I sort of fell off the face of the earth the past year and a half due to the fact I was going through divorce.  It was final in September of 2007, and I now feel like I finally got my life back.  The poor T-bird was functioning as my family car day in and day out to tote my 2 kids around in.  Certainly not ideal in stop and go traffic with the stiff clutch behind the 5 speed and poly bushings making the ride very rough and no AC. But it held up and started every day, though in desperate need of brakes and struts and a host of misc maintenance that has been getting ignored for a long time. 
  On the bright side I'm now fully functionally, past the stress related heart condition and firing on all cylinders again.  I'm currently checking my dates to see if I can make Cat Jam.  Problem is that it usaully interferes with my family reunion and with a couple of relatives that might not make the next reunion due to illness and general old age, I am reluctant to skip it.  If the dates work out I'll have to get busy getting the bird in shape.  Looks like the format of Cat Jam might be changing a bit from the last time I went to acoomodate the growing attendance.  Kuddos to Eric and his helpers for keeping the ball rolling.  Thanks.  Jason.

Hey thanks.  I'm looking forward to getting back to working on the bird.  I'm thinking this would be a good year to get it painted too.

I'm new here and all but It's good to hear that your making a comeback. Dealing with what you have is not easy. I've been married for 9 years almost and I have just about seen, and been through it all.

Keep your chin up.
