Jeep = gone.
I've thought of parting with my '93 GC Limited for quite some time now, I have no use for the 4WD as I'm no longer able to walk more than a few feet and I'm afraid to go off road for fear of a breakdown, even a flat is now beyond my ability to repair. I get around by mobility scooter now and I kept the Jeep because I liked it and because it had a lift on the back which made hauling my scooter easier but I wanted a van to allow me to keep the scooter inside. So, the Jeep is gone and I have a van. I guess I'm gone as well, it's been fun, sort of, and very educational. I credit this group with teaching me all about score files and kill files, I never would have learned if not for a few very obnoxious people here and, believe it or not, I'm grateful to them for forcing me to learn. So take care, I'll check in from time to time to see if things get any better in the future. -- XS11E, Killing all posts from Google Groups The Usenet Improvement Project: http://improve-usenet.org |

Damn!
Sorry to hear it. How did you end up in a scooter, and worst of all a van? K. "XS11E" > wrote in message . 236...

"Arthritic degeneration of the lumbar spine" is the official diagnosis, it started very mildly in my early twenties, became painful in my fifties and semi-crippling in my seventies. I guess that's why they call arthritis a progressive disease? It's progressed steadily over the years... -- XS11E, Killing all posts from Google Groups The Usenet Improvement Project: http://improve-usenet.org |

That's a damn shame.
I'd have never thought you to be old enough for that, *grin*, here EVERYONE looks like a young pup. I'm sad to think that you can't go play with your Jeep any more, but hey, don't be a stranger. Maybe you can live vicariously through some of the stories and lies that get swapped around in here. K. "XS11E" > wrote in message 36...

I feel for yea brother!
After 20 year of seeing Doctors 4 to 5 time a week for my bodily ailments, it turns out that I may have a very rare form of cancer which keeps me from doing anything. 2 cracked ribs (For no apparent reason) 9 blood clots in the left calf, extreme swelling of my feet... And a whole alphabet of brutal pain killers that don't do ****. Just driving over a man hole cover at 15 MPH is enough to send me into spasm/convulsion for 20 minutes at a time. In the 20 hours that I am awake... 15 hours are spent in a wheel chair. So much for restoring another Austin Mini or modifying our Liberty... It's driving me nuts! I have an ARB front bumber,winch, and a choice of 12 pair of lights to mount on out rig. Oh well, I guess not... If you folks don't hear from me in a while? It's probably because I'm stuck in the ****ing hospital again. Enjoy your Jeeps folks!
