Thanks for the invite. Let's see what happens first. By the way, how did you know that Tennessee was home? I spent 10 years in Bristol Tennessee and then 10 en Memphis during my formative years. When is the running of the Dragon? Any chance I get to drive a little? I could show you my braking technique. Wow, I haven't used that line since high school.

I have identified my "Red" and now I'm in process of contacting them all to iron out the specifics and terms and conditions. I guess I should explain that I specialize and concentrate in one area of the Island and to go it "alone" I need to cover the Island with my services. There are lots of professionals out there but getting new clients is difficult. Thats where I think I have excellent prospects. Important people in my industry know my wife and I and are aware of our work. I may end up with more than I can handle.

Tomorrow I'm headed to Sabana Tire which has an extensive inexpensive line of used tires. I also made a contact with a person that brings performance tires from Europe of all places. Seems the TUV demands tires be changed that are still good because they may be marginal before the next inspection. I'll know what's available soon. I can't justify $1,500 (with shipping) for Michelin Pilot Sport Cups until I have "moved on" and have secure prospects for new business.

I want to thank everyone that has generously supported me in these last days with kind words and encouragement.
