Thanks everybody for wanting to up My count. I do receive everything said with the fun intended by it. If You can't laugh at Yourself Your likely to not be a very happy person anyway. That's way I have always looked at life. Life's just full of stupid stuff or Me I am doing stupid stuff so I may as well have fun with it. I'm amazed Myself that many read all that I write but, so greatful that you do. I really do try to condense my thoughts but, I just seem to lose that battle. I really do mean to be help and share some insight. Sorry for the length I'm not giving up the fight to shorten things. I'm not kidding before My illness You could not get Me to say 2 words much less a sentence, nothing more than it took to conduct business or to get My idea across as quickly as I could. Wrongly I felt like I just did not have time for people to honestly admit it. Not looking down on anyone just to busy to take time to see what others needed. But, after the first year of the illness I began to communicate more and allot. Doc says it most likely was because subconsciuosly I felt I was not going to have time to say allot of things I wished I had, so I had never tried to work on communication. He says I just began to overcompensate. Hopefully I can slow down but, now that I have taken the time to communicate I really do not want to go back to the way it was. I just got to try and make a conscious effort to find a happy medium.

tower I'm known for being tactful around here but, can be brass if Family and Friends are unfairly attacked. tower You now the Forum tried to talk Me into running for President on here and had picked out cabinet etc. I had some good cabinet folks I think. Then there was sort of a mutiny and I withdrew the acceptance.

I try to remember that when I came here KenP and Dennis worked real quick with Me to teach me the ropes and am very greatful. Maybe We should develope a users guide that when a person signs up to be able to enter forum they go through some does and dont's. Just a thought.

DRYT That 2 tone paint job is on several H2's at My dealer. I'm sure they painted theirs themselves but, as you have seen the lines it would be easy to do. I'm not into body and painting but, do know enough to get Me in trouble if I try it. That paint scheme is fairly easy to tape off and wet sand. Then I have seen some prime and some just paint, I guess it has to do with what paint You use, and others shoot the second tone, then wet sand to finish and then shoot clear. I would think a very compitent painter could do that for You at a very reasonable price. Remember I'm not a painter but, just recalling what I have seen done before. I saw a pewter recently at My dealer painted just like that but, had a different second tone. They shot a darker shade of pewter on it not real drastic more elegant with enough shading change to see the difference easily and it looked so sweet. I think You would like it that way and it would not be such a startling change that it would be hard for you to adjust to it.
I had a sponsor furnish chrome graphics and did a great job. I looked at it for 3 weeks and had it removed. I just could not adjust to the change. So I'm having an artist to do some real suttle airbrush stuff so that We can do something less harsh and more elegantly stated. I want to accent the bling instead of hiding it is what I felt the graphics did.
Oh, if anyone knows how to do this type of paint I'm going to mention next would You PM Me or let Me know on the forum as others may be interested. I have seen and had a friend trying to get the technique but, it is hard to do. I'll call it rain painting. He sands down the rig and after airbrushing or whatever He mixes some small flake in clear coat. He sprays rig down with water and as it begins to run and look like rain drops or I should say tear drops more descibes it, He shoots it with the clear and flake. I have seen a job like it and it makes the rig look like it is wet all the time and glistens really great. If anyone knows something about this please help me out.
Thanks everyone for all Your patience, I mean when I say thanks for putting up with Me. I just look forward to Us all getting together someday maybe right in the middle of the US someplace.
