Coming back from Maryland

[dougdel]

Been off of here for quite a while and returning.  It's been quite a while and my family and I have been stretched in many directions.  Last year ordered a general steel building for my new garage.  Broke ground last June, then it never quit raining.  Finally placed the concrete in September, began getting everything ready for assembly.  Winter put a hold on that.  Then, We lost our son ( no parent should loose a child) to severe complication from open heart surgery. He was a good kid, 26 years old and loved life a lot, and was quite proud of our cuda.  That took quite a toll on us both.  Finally got my head straight and am now ready to fly in the steel this weekend.  Have a lift and boom truck ready.  I may actually get the new stable for my pony ready to use in the next two weeks, depending on weather.  Took the Cuda out last Wednesday gave her some fresh gas and a tune up and proceeded to melt some tires in my sons honor.  At his celebration of life dinner one of my friends designed a dream catcher in his honor and now I would like to paint it on the gull Wing.  I just wish I knew someone that could airbrush it for me.  Hopefully this will be a better year and I can make some cruises and Carlisle. 
Thanks for having me back, I hope to be around here more looking for parts, advice, to gain molar knowledge and make some new friends.  So, who here is around tha Annapolis Maryland area?  Let's have a cook out and a beer.

So sorry to hear about your son.  Do you have some photos of him you can share with us?    If you don't mind talking about him, we would love to know about him. 

And post some photos of your new building too!

I'll also try to upload a few pics of the garage progress once I find them on my iPad

I am so sorry friend.  I loved the video where your son tosses a keg.  He looks like a strong kid.  Was it full of beer?  I'm not sure I could lift one off the ground.
