Default The Bubba plan for now ......???? Jim Linder

Been a long couple months for me and just now getting home and kinda dialed in.
Early April ( my 70th birthday) i was put in hospital with Eosinophilic Pneumonia, after a couple trips to and from hospital kidney numbers showed stage four kidney failure. (short story)
Seems my oil pump is fine but the fuel pump and filter has quit. ( Maybe Charlie could help me here?)
Just finished my 6th dialysis treatment yesterday and looks like i will have one every other day for ever . Pretty happy just to be here discussing this

Havent been to the shop since i got home (thats on my thursday plan after treatment) but heres my plan of attack.......

1-I have a few unopened boxes and orders that i recieved while in hospital, those will be returned to sender . (sorry maybe later )

2-All other orders in shop have now been processed , cleaned and ready to reassemble by Terry my part time guy . Those will be completed in due time as my health allows , but my goal is to get them all done !!!

3-I will try my very best to respond to any questions as time goes on......

Hey Jim:

Thanks for letting us know. Sorry to hear about your health issues, but glad you are to report to us if you catch my drift.

Health and family are priorities #1 and what you need to do to take care of either is what you need to do.

I wish you all the best!

Tim

Jim, sorry to hear of your kidney problem. I too, go to dialysis 3 days a week, I've been going since the end of last August. I go at 5:30 AM, and I am usually out by 9:45 AM. It gives me the rest of the day, if I am up to it. I am 78 years old, and I still try to do whatever I can, although a little slower. Do what you can. If some customers are in a hurry, and can't wait, tell them to go elsewhere. Your health is your most important thing for you to worry about, not some one's parts. Do what you can, and be thankful for the dialysis treatment. I don't like it, either, but you know the alternative.

Jim, feel free to contact so we can compare notes. I don't like the treatments either, but I prefer them to the alternative. I have had good days, and bad days, but I am thankful for the treatments. People ask me how long do you have to do this. I tell them you have 2 choices, do it, or die. Then they get the message. Things could be worse. again, feel free to contact me. nick.

I have a friend in one of the Model A clubs I belong to, that has been on dialysis for 6 or 7 years. He is in his upper 70s. The last several years he’s been using a machine at home, which still is time-consuming and it slowed him way down as well, but he still going at it. He’s in the middle of restoring a late 31 wide bed roadster pick up. Life’s not over, but it definitely slows you down. Best of luck. Check out the home machines!

Hi Jim,
I don’t know you except through this forum and your postings. I have always appreciated your genuine willingness to share your knowledge to help others with their ignition woes. I am so sorry for the current medical challenges that you face. I know that our God has a plan for each of our lives and only he knows what it is. I hope that you and your family can find comfort in the following verse from the Book of Romans 12:12, “Be joyful in hope, patient in tribulation and constant in prayer.”

May God bless you and keep you in his abiding grace always.

Russ

Made it to the shop today , got some emails caught up.....tomorrows a treatment day wont be back until friday .
First item out the door is the backlogged delcos that were pre ordered and paid with pay pal. Just a little assembly and testing to ship. So if ya have a delco ordered they should get shipped this week.
If we have your distributor and a crisis let me know and i will do my best to pull it out and put it ahead ( some have emailed and said take my time on their unit)........
Cant tell ya how nice this feels to be out in the garage (even if just for a short time this afternoon) ........

Sorry to hear about the health challenges you are having. On the bright side it could have been a lot worse! Very happy to hear you can still get out to your shop.

Some would say every new challenge is an opportunity. Perhaps this will give you the time to find some new outlets for your ingenuity and creativity.

Have you ever considered writing a book about identification, refurbishment and modifications for Ford Distributors? (Heck maybe you already wrote one!)

Best of luck, and I hope every week brings a continued improvement to your health.

Kirk

Sorry to hear about your health issues Jim. Follow doctors orders to the T. I believe everyone here has you in their prayers. I certainly do.

God Bless.

Jim, I dont know what sort of dialysis your on ,or if you have an option ,But, my wife Carol is, we were all set for the hemo dialysis but opted for the PD dialysis.best thing we did.
She has been on it for 7 months so far, no drama ,easy to do over night,free days,good health ,way better health than before,
BIG thing is ,its portable ,and ,I have set up our caravan with some lithium batteries and solar panels etc,so we can still travel away in the 33 and caravan, last month 2 weeks away out west ,great ,next month up to Mt Isa for the rodeo,about 2-1/2 weeks away.
PM me if you want some info.
BUT stay positive.

Special thanks to all the comments and help. The emotional side is the bad side of this so far , however with all the emails and comments i am whipping it so far.
Went to the shop today had some help from my 18 year old grandson and he moved some parts from the barn. Goal is to catch up with the current in house orders and then ebay a bunch of cool old ignition parts as we go thru the barn....
Mission is to clear and inventory the new mini barn , paint all the shop floors and get the orders caught up.....my shop days are now monday, wed , friday. Actually answerd the phone a few times today............

Well it has taken me a couple days but i finally got them ready to test on the tester.
I guess these three are special using vertex condensors and Accel contacts... More than is needed for the flathead but Ebay had a deal on them and i didnt feel like going to napa today.........
