I have been making it a practice to drop in on Ivan every few days. Yesterday I got Thunderpig patched up and roadworthy again 
. Decided to slip away from SWMBO (after helping with the dishes 
) and take a short putt. Went over by my friend(
) Jeff's place. You remember Jeff. He is my buddy that ran over me with his Gold Wing a couple of weeks ago. Lined up a ride w/him for after work today. I am going to put him out front where I can keep an eye on him .
After touching base with Jeff, I was only a straight shot away from Ivan's place, so I decided to spread a little sunshine in his life. When I walked in the front door, after waking up his lazy butt (sheesh it was only 8:00 pm
), I was pleasantly surprised to see the kids hand him a set of sticks(crutches) and after a mighty heave.....The Silverback Stands!!!!!!!!!
Funny I don't remember him being that tall............
Anyway. he stumps out to the drive to check out my repair job, with one of his drape apes bringing up the rear with a chair for him. Looking at my calipers which were rubbing slightly, he starts barking out orders. In no time, he has wrenches in hand, a son holding a flashlight, and is delivering a scholarly lecture in the art of caliper maintenance.
I have been on this earth for over half a century; and in my travels, I have met all types of characters. Luckily for me in this case, I have met a friend with character.
