Re: Goodbye my dear friends
I echo the sentiments of the below posts of gold...
It takes courage to have faith. It takes absolute strength to walk in it. As others below have mentioned, I don't even pretend to anticipate the date/time of the "end", as mine could be tomorrow. So if that's the case, the SRT-6 will have to do as my escape pod.
I support you in your decision, though, and I will always consider you a friend. Swing back in from time to time and say hi.
Blessings,
I don't feel I can plan for the end of life or know when it will happen so enjoy each day until there are no more.
What always has been important to me is to not have any unresolved differences with anyone I know.
Be sure that there are no people in your life that you won't talk to because of that big argument you once had that made you never speak to that person again.
Make peace with everyone who is important in your life so when it ends there are no words left unspoken.
My best to you and I know some of my friends here know you well.
I wish I had gotten to know you too.
I may better understand what you are preparing for.

Curtis it was a pleasure to drive with you during the times we had. You followed what was in your heart when you moved back East and you must follow your heart where it takes you today/tomorrow. I agree with Mark in hoping it is not the end as you feel as no matter the times, there is always real hope the proper change will in fact come about in this country and even the world...knowing humans however, I fully expect they will somehow continue to screw things up.
I hope your health continues to afford you the future you are looking for.
Best wishes my friend and be safe.

You sir will be missed. You were a positive contributor to this Forum. I wish you the best and most certainly will not mock you (they mocked Noah) I will always respect a man who makes choices and decisions based on convictions. I don’t think anyone could argue with you based on your observations. Unfortunately we are not the country we once were, I hope and pray that we can return to the greatness we once were. I would not choose to live anywhere else; however I share your concerns. We as a society I am afraid will continue a decline until we find it in us to return to the basic principles that made us so great. We to often are unable to take care of ourselves and our fellow man without the constant need to rely on the government. My greatest concern is that we will turn on our fellow man during a disaster natural or otherwise. Just look at how we behave in some areas after a Hurricane. There is already in my opinion an element of our society that will take a life over a tank of gas, prescriptions, or a freezer of food if the government is not there immediately to provide it. With that said and I’m sorry if I declined this into a political post. It was not my intention.
Gary, your thoughts were very well said. We would all be best served to put those words to practice. See many of you next month.

Hey! Psalm 4 is a good reference to add to your life. James 1:2-4 is God's Word about how to respond to our troubles. Rejoice in suffering is how we walk Brother. Our strength is not of this world. Read-meditate on Psalm 116:2-19! The Lord is our shelter in sunshine AND rain. We learn from Job chapters one and two that NOTHING touches us without God's express permission. This concept is how we are able to obey Scriptures such as those I mentioned in James (above). I KNOW it's tough.. I have a weak heart that can fail at any time and disappearing savings, but my God is greater than any of that! I will not become depressed by the threats of the devil. He is a defeated enemy. In over 62 years and three open heart operations God has never once failed me. Be of good cheer! He has overcome the world! Now put your spiritual armor back on (Eph. 6:10). He knows where you are; and He is able to deliver you from anything that hits the fan in this world!

Re: Goodbye my dear friends
Pooly, you will be missed my friend. I am not quite to point I am heading for the hills, but I am prepared for the most part if something weird would go down, and you know what I mean. Next year, we will return to gardening, and such as well. But, either way, financially, I am keeping my toys for now. I can still afford that, but putting away some things for emergencies is never a bad idea...you just never know. I am confident the right people will rise to bring us back the country we once were. There are just people out there that want us divided. The will wake up someday and realize the lies....good luck my friend, and drop us a line and let us know how you are doing...and tell the son he is welcome to join us as well...

Re: Goodbye my dear friends
It is sad to hear this Curtiss. But I know you and what is in your heart.
No one can claim wisdom about the coming future. We each can only follow the light we see.
Good luck, and God's grace be with you in your new life direction.

Re: Goodbye my dear friends
Well my son just drove off tonight and is going to test drive it tomorrow with his g/f...who LOVES the car BTW. I'm so fortunate that Nina will remain in the family and perhaps one day I will buy her back.
I feel so connected to this car, unlike any car before and there's been alot of them. Its like selling off your favorite dog. But its been 4 years of the coolest memories and friendships with you folks that will live with me forever.
The sale should be final next week. Now to let my sportster "Vanda" go to the selling block. had alot of fun with her too but man, its just not in me to want to ride her anymore. Anyways, I will TTYL everyone

Happy to have her still in the family! Thanks again to all of you, my friends, for litteraly EVERYTHING these past 4 years!
Love ya all;( not in a gay way though
