Hi Ralph
maybe it isn`t his but a friends. maybe at a friends house who owns one. but maybe his also. we dont know and not good to jump to conclussions based on a pic. i have some pics of me on a horse but don`t own it. just saying.

you are correct in my ass umption

i tell you what, you get those two boys and dad out to buena vista on memorial day and i'll make sure they have a great time on mine as well as others boats. then I/We can see who are parts are going to.

When I talked to the dude, before I got SCJB involved, and I offered my heads to the guy, he was in tears. Better than that, when I got off the phone my day & serenity level went thru the roof. If he is running a hustle, that is between him & God and I have no part of that. But if he isnt, a great thing is taking place right here right now! In my opinion, he isnt running a hustle and i think what we are doing is pretty frickin great. If not for him, for us. Take a step back and see how great it was to say, "I'll help this guy, I feel his pain".

I have 3 boys and motorcycles across the board. I have been put in situations (or put my self there) and was in need of money fast for mortgage, utilities etc... and not ONCE did I think to try to explain to any of my sons why I am selling THEIR motorcycle to pay for my stuff. I believe that God will provide, and he always did.
Dont look now, maybe he is providing as we speak!

Sorry for the PTL lecture, it is just how I feel about it.

rodbender im glad you feel good about what you are doing and your belief in god, however, i am an agnostic.

my offer still stands, bring them to buena vista.......

You guys are the coolest cats ever, the last time I helped someone out with boat parts (BBC short block) not only did they kick our ass in the river race but they blew it up too

LOL...Still had fun and was glad to help.

I do not have ANY Ford stuff, when you get down to the wire lemmeknow what's needed to get her running, maybe a set of spark plugs or something???

I would do more, but have two non-running rides right now

Ralph, I'm an agnostic too, as was my wife, for the most part. I still beleive in doing what I can, much as Cindy did (She did a better job of it, dealing with and teaching kids with autism and severe handicaps, and loved it), for the less fortunate. I wouldn't be in a financial position to do any of what I've done were it not for her death. (Kinda morose huh?)

That isn't religion, that's Karma, to my thinking.

And yes, if I'm being scammed, well, my own fault, but there's gonna be more trying that that, already has been.
