Well its pretty clear no Insane for us this year.

As bad as I'd like to go I feel like I've been just kicked right in the teeth. crap last year I had heart trouble an they found one of 4 bypass I had done 13 years ago now plugged and the other 3 great but now I'm having chest pain again like last year. Doc figures if they cut me open theyll kill me, he also figures I've got some kind of a disease killing off the small blood vessels on the bottom of my heart,  so i was told walking will help create new vessels snd was awarded 2000 mgs of rexenea a day to help with the pain which  is not cheap, but I got very lucky an got it down to 75 a month. Then o also had trouble with both arms an a leg and maybe put 300m on the bike last year. Then my wife is working now 6 miles away and  she don't drive. Then I blew up my 10 year old rider that I need to use to mow my 400 yd shooting lane. If I get extremely lucky, if the crank shaft is the same I may be able to get a new 19 HP to replace the 20 HP which has similar parts for 600 ducks instead of buying a short block for almost the same money.
 Boy it sure would of been a nice to see yous again and it would of been a great road trip.

Wow, when it rains it pours.....I'm real sorry to hear of your trials...why can't life just be a bit easier sometimes?

600 Ducks is pretty cheap?  Just kidding, no laughing matter for sure.

Although not major issues yet medical wise,  I am sure it is coming one day for me as well. 

_hit seems to always happen in 3's.  2 car repairs and bicycle needs a fixin' as well.  Went to bicycle shop at 10:30 a.m. today and the darn shop does not open until noon.  What the F! Said piss on it, will have to wait I guess not waiting around another town for 1 1/2 hours to accomodate their F'ed up hours only open 12-6.  why not 10-4 would be better!!

Sorry everything has hit at a bad time, Greg. I had to sit out last year's IZ myself. Hopefully things will iron themselves out and you'll be in better position for IZ 2018.

Good Luck!
