Hey Edward,

It's Friday so you are allowed to ramble.    Sounds like you're filling the
void left by your job.   Many
retirees return to work because they cannot find anything to fill that
void.   They are the hard
workers that actually work at their jobs.   Whether they like it or not
they are addicted to their
craft and whether or not that's a good thing is on a case by case basis.

Really good that you are persistently getting your 87 in good shape for
safe reliable/comfortable
travel.   From what you've posted, I hope you can get it to a more secure
location as it sounds
like it may be a target for more vandalism or worse.....

Rambling on myself...

Steven
91 Westy
