I thought about that, Mike. He is once again thinking about the price. Says he would be OK with an HD Street. He is worried about leaving my sister and me something when he passes. I told him to spend i all on hookers and booze. Well....I told him to spend it however he wants and not worry about us. If we can survive without any support now, we can when that time comes.

Marcus I think most of us who are parents want to leave our kids something that puts them in a better position then when we started out. Sounds like ya got a great Dad there.

That is the way that I think. It is his money, he earned it, now it is time for HIM to enjoy it while he can.

I ain't leaving nothing for the kids! The get enough while I am alive!

He can spend it on the Grandkids! Of course they don'tneed anything, either.

He told us a story last night of his CO in Vietnam driving his jet into a ditch during takeoff because of a mortar attack. A story about him and a buddy in Germany being too drunk to fix a firetruck and laying on their backs looking up at the stars on the flight line. Good times

Thank him for his service!

10 years Air Force then 10 in the Navy. He got out of the AF and they rarely take any prior service folks, not even their own, and couldn't get back in so he joined the Navy. Retired from the Navy in 1988. Still worked after that.
