HEY! I just made a move that, if it pans out, I'll be in an SRT Roadster about March of next year.
(That is: It's a financial move..)




And I cant see how it won't work... you never know but still, this is like a 2% risk kind of thing.
So, if the Good Lord leaves me on this blue orb (as opposed to my heart bursting and I die), then next spring, I'll need a driver so I can take TWO cars to Fontana.

I HOPE I am doing the right thing - don't wanna talk about it, but it seems like 98% a certainty I am doing the right thing for the long term.
Just gonna cause some POSSIBLE discomfort short-term, but those who successfully make long term plans pretty much IGNORE the short term.

From where I stand now, it appears that the Fall Dragon is a sure thing for me. My nuke job will be in full swing, but if I work some long weeks leading up to it, I can tell them to "get lost" for four days in October.

Sure wish I could bring an SRT with me, but the responsible way is to wait and pay cash for it. Hell, I'll enjoy it more that way, anyway.

This will be a different Dragon for me - no more rum and coke (I'm off caffiene and my one heart med is a "no alcohol" medication).
Nick's jungle juice is WAY out of the question....

Thanks to all of you who have wished me well over this spring's medical ordeal - I must tell you all, that it has changed me in ways I never thought possible - in time, I will regret that I didn't experience this years ago. My priorities have changed, and I don't worry about stupid stuff like I did - life is better, brighter and happier - same can be said for my job.

I have as much chance of winning money in the lottery as I do by paying speeding tickets.


That car is only two hours from me - I already have a driver, ME! I would likely use my Enterprise points (got a billion of them) and rent a free car to get that one with.

I'm glad to read your back on your feet! I lost my grandpa (68) to heart disease and almost lost my dad to it last year! Reading pizza half a dozen times just gave Dominos some business now that I'm back in a crossfire and an srt6 at that no delivery is needed I think I'll pick it up!
Stay healthy my friend!

I cannot say that caffien free and going without booze is "better" but surely am glad your heart is improving.

I look forward to seeing you , Sober or not, in the fall.

And get that damn SRT-6. Don't worry aboutit, I'll still be able tocatch ya

The "no booze" thing is due to possible interaction with the one heart medication.
The "no caffeine" thing is mine - there is some evidence that caffeine (and certainly the amounts I've consumed in the past) are linked to irregular heartbeats; my fibrillation would be a severe, over-the-top version of an irregular beat. The doctor did not forbid me from caffeine.

I certainly plan on being at the fall event. But then, I planned to be at the spring event and we all know where I ended up....
