    I'm back, and what a surprise!

    I still don't know what to say at this point except Thank You.
    I am truly humbled by the generosity of this group.
    I fully expected to have my Bronco sitting this summer out.

    A special thanks as well to those who helped out with projects around the house keeping things in working order and greatly reducing my "honey do" list.

    I actually got home a couple days ago and had been catching up on sleep and playing with the kids. I was really in no hurry to get to my Bronco because I knew she was broke and wasn't sure when I'd be able to get her fixed.
    I was out running a some errands today and came home early to find another man in my garage with my Bronco. It was Chuck trying to put on a couple final touches while I was out. At that point my daughter spilled the beans and started telling me about everybody coming over to fix the Bronco.

    The least I can do is have you all over for a BBQ so I can thank you in person, hear the rest of the story and see the pics.

        God dammit Chuck! Dont you know what STEALTH means??
        God has nothing to do with this, however I can except the fact I was caught by a highly trained Marine - I am just glad I got away without injury
        Plus there is more to the story - I was told I had more time. Oh well. Flame on!!!

                            Mike,
                            I've never met you and I didn't get the chance to help out on your Bronco, but like everybody else here has said, THANK YOU for your service.

                            I'm sure that you're enjoying every minute of being home, and hopefully one day we'll get a big group out 'wheeling (assuming those of us with basket cases ever bolt our junk back together)...

                              If I ever get around to putting the epoxy floor paint down, it'll be clean and shiny.
