Thanks for all the wisdom you have shared. It obviously sucks for us that you are stepping back but taking care of yourself is more important. I wish you the best on working your new plan.

More hot sauce? And more T-shirts seem to be the current requests?

Thank you Jim for all the work and wisdom you've given to the barn over the years, it's really important to take care of your health. Relax and enjoy retirement.

sorry to see you have to make this decision. Too bad you could not have mentored someone to take over. If I were closer I'd probably be hanging out at your shop enough to do it. We were lucky Bill took over the shock business and then found someone to take it from him. Louie Trinque passed on a lot of knowledge to Bill but I'm sure he took some with him. Good luck with everything ahead of you.

Jim,

Best wishes on your heart procedure and for a fast recovery. Take care of yourself. You don't want your distributor out of time. Thanks for all the help over the years. Keep us posted, check in here when you can and let us know how you've been.

Yeah, Jim, just make sure you keep firing on all cylinders.

V8 Bob · 02-18-2020, 11:20 AM

Jim,
Best of luck and much better health in the future. I enjoyed the "spam-o-rama" gatherings during the Good Guys shows, and the first Ohio Mile ECTA meet where you introduced my group to Kentucky Bourbon Ale!

Take care and stay in touch.
