i believe the way to go is,become a divorce attorney and advertise in the national dragster.you will be wealthy in no time,then you can simply pay somebody to do all the things you didnt have time for when you were married......
SFI 25.5 depends,no leak,even at 213 mph....

Tell me all about it... We just moved. It took me 67 days to finish the '66 Coronet 500 Convertible interior project and hidden stereo install, revive the '66 Coronet 440 model car that had been off the road since I was short pants, get the red Charger out of hibernation to move it to the new shop, sell a truck and our winter beater '66 Charger, and move all of the contents of our house/shop (Including something like 47 house plants, a 25 ton Dake press, etc.).  I feel your pain. I know have a 24x48' pile of unlabeled boxes of car parts over, under and surrounding my cars and somewhere (god willing) all of my tools in mixed in there. To add to the irony my friend that owns the machine shop keeps asking "when are we going to finish line honing those blocks?" Jerk.  Stay calm, that is what I keep telling myself. This is simply a transition phase. A 15 year phase is all...

My wife keeps referring to "When you move out" as she points out homes for sale along the road...........she knows that's the only way I'll ever get any car project done for myself.  And she's right.

Ok Boys it's been a long time since I've been here but, My turn.. I work out of state drive home on the weekends to a honey do list. I have a Son that is going to collage this fall a Grad party to pay for, with collage fees.. Trying to get to the track once a month is hard to do but I'm making dew. Maintaining a trailer/40' motorhome, and taking care of the soon to be wife. I'm running out of steam already.Only been to one race.  Back to work 200 miles away. But I have to say always make time for the ones that you Love.

Sorry for the bump... approaching the end of the week and I'm having another spell of the    coming on over all the same sh!t I started this post about.
You mean round 2... or is it round 22....
I'm pretty lucky that my wife likes cars... and she
knows when I kick off she will have another... or
she will sell it off for the coin(but this one started
out as her car when she bought it new)

My junk is sitting in the garage with the engine and trans out of it since I was injured in a car accident in 2009. I do little things to it here and there and could probably have it running in a couple of days. Sometimes I start to feel enthusiastic about getting it out to the racetrack again, then I talk to the Neurosurgeon who has operated on me 5 times in the last 4 yrs and he becomes very good at letting the air out of my Sails.  Oh well, went to a new quack this year and heading for another round of surgery in July. I am 61 yrs old and would Just like to get one more season in before I call it quits for good. When racing is in your blood it sure is a hard thing to kick.
WOW, you`ve been throught the ringer for sure and sorry to hear this so you definately deserve that last go around and hopefully the new doc can keep your sails up and happy.........   Our health is all we`ve got at the end of the day and I work real hard to stay healthy and in shape for the journey ahead...............stay strong. 
Thanks for the kind words Thumper...I was not looking for sympathy,just trying to get the message out to enjoy your life while you can. Do all the things that make life worth living. You never know when that day comes when you can't do those things anymore.
