Well, I'm sorry if some of you feel slighted for whatever reason. I never intended to disappear forever, so the thought of saying "goodbye" never occurred to me at all. In fact, as I now realize how long it's been since I last logged on here, I actually wonder where the hell all the time went. Time flies when you get old.
But the bottom line is that the past year-and-a-half or so has just been a whole lot of "shit happens". I really don't want to get into all the details in public... but a big chunk of it was still fire-related. After 4-1/2 years, it is still the "gift that keeps giving". Fortunately, I think the final chapter of that saga is quickly approaching and we will be able to move on. We had our day in court and the outcome was favorable. Finally.
Having said all that, I also began to lose interest in my Mustang along the way. A series of mechanical issues conspired to prevent me from even driving it much. I didn't have the money to do what needed to be done, so it just sat parked for a long long time. And we haven't been down the dragstrip in a couple years. And with the Mustang being a very low priority, my time on the forum faded along with it. Nothing personal... it just is what it is.
Actually, what I have is a serious "Love-Hate" relationship with that car. When it is running well, I love it. When it isn't, I hate that f'n car. And when I'm in that mood, I seriously contemplate selling it. But, after I calm down, I don't know if I actually could sell it. As I sit here right now, it is NOT for sale (however, if someone offered me a big pile of moola, I would consider it).
Anyway, I can't promise that I will be on the forum everyday, but I'll try to pop in from time to time.
If you are one of those that are still pissed at me...
