Holy smoke, Joe waxes poetic. Must be snowing.
I certainly agree with the sentiment, and yes, I've got a lot of spots that
don't tan and my tie rod ends have too much clearance. But I got the timing
for that final broadside totally wrong. I voided the warranty on almost
everything 20 years ago.

"LIFE IS NOT A JOURNEY TO THE GRAVE WITH THE INTENTION OF ARRIVING
SAFELY IN
A PRETTY AND WELL PRESERVED BODY, BUT RATHER TO SKID IN BROADSIDE,
THOROUGHLY
USED UP, TOTALLY WORN OUT, AND LOUDLY PROCLAIMING: WOW.... WHAT A RIDE
!!!"
Richard Taylor and Bill Babcock come to mind here.
I remember seeing some asphalt tatoos and a walk of constant correction
exhibited by at least one of these guys.
(I lost one body part, a couple years ago, but I hadnt left the garage
yet)
A stab of the brakes, release of the mainsheet, a flick of the wheel are
all
decisions that make the difference between disaster and another day to
play.
And they belong to us. Joe (A)
