That's ok, I posted what I thought was good news.
I spent a long portion of my life and fortune on this car.
It was missing in pictures for a number of years.
You can't imagine how I felt when I rediscovered it.
Like a long lost child.
Everyone has posted what they wanted to share.
Maybe you have too?
You found it on July 24th last year too, at least I remember you posting about it... please see:

Hehe, I did not find it then. Just posted about it then.
At that time I had no pictures of it finished. That was what pained me.
Those pictures are what I had taken at different steps of the restoration.
Funny, the story I gave then is almost verbatum of the story I told here.
Enough for me, I'm off my soap box now.

Dremel battery replacement.

I have a trusty cordless Dremel that has been good for me for a number of years but recently the batteries have shown some age. I'm doing a battery replacement but I'm curious if these will be my best replacement? I'd like to have the tabs pre soldered.

Quick update on my battle with Prostate Cancer. Looks like it’s over!!!!!
I had my 2 week post op doctor appointment today to get all the tubes and staples removed- I’m FREE!!!!
Doc also had the final pathology results and looks like he got it all. Margins (tissue around the Prostate area) and lymph nodes cancer free. The tumor was slightly bigger than diagnosed but that’s usually the case so no big surprise. The ultimate confirmation will be a PSA blood test in a month.

This has been 2 weeks of 24/7 painful hell. I couldn’t have made it without the fantastic emails, posts, calls, and prayers. So, I would like to thank everyone for their good thoughts and prayers.

And most of all I thank Jackie who has been just an amazing wife, friend, and partner. She talked me off the ledge several times and never complained. This has been a tough 2 months for her.

I was a bit disappointed to hear that I MUST stay off the bike for another month. It will be like starting over…. Oh well, at least I lost some more weight.

But nothing holding me back from flying!!!! But not a good idea for another week. But I hope to bum a ride and come out Sat morning.

Cheers,

Jim

Great news Jim. When I saw you last it looked like you were ready to go on a bike race.
