Just a note to my friends at NGW. Yesterday I had to put down Sadie. She was my loyal friend and constant companion of 13 years and 1 month. She lived a good healthy life for all but the last month. She was always there to help with every one of my projects, keeping a constant vigil for a stray glove or boot. I will miss her! Rest in peace my dear friend!

Leaving the home at 7:45, picking up Jakes gal in Rochester at 8, plan to arrive at Al's at Noon. Jump on the new 993 and see what she has left in her. Get those numbs off the tires on the first left (the right side does not matter), and no looking back. Moment of Silence for Sadie as she was a treasure. Fred is not going to be too far behind I fear.

I had the opportunity to spend a short time on 2 different occasions with Sadie and Ern and came away blessed knowing the love a dog has for her master and the love a master has for his dog. So sorry to hear Ern. I remember you saying she hadn't been feeling well.

We have them in our lives for such a short time but they leave us with such lasting memories. Remember the good times and that she had a long and lovely life.

So as many of you know, last Fall i decided to sell the LTD. I tried it on eBay, but could not get it done in the Fall. I put it on again this Spring. No sale, but lots of calls and emails afterwards. It appears that I have it sold to a guy with a motorcycle museum in Homer Georgia. Here is his info: Keith Campbell http://www.vintagememoriesinc.com/home.html Delivery and full payment should occur next week. I'll post final info and a pic for the thread to tie it all up. It was lots of fun and I WILL do it again! ;)
