    Honored a great friend today.

    Lisa and I arrived in St. Ignace michigan on Thursday and attended Josh kabob's memorial today.  His sister told us about a banner they had put up to honor him.

    Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of EarthAnd danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;Sunward I’ve climbed, and joined the tumbling mirthof sun-split clouds, – and done a hundred thingsYou have not dreamed of – wheeled and soared and swungHigh in the sunlit silence. Hov’ring there,I’ve chased the shouting wind along, and flungMy eager craft through footless halls of air . . . Up, up the long, delirious, burning blueI’ve topped the wind-swept heights with easy graceWhere never lark nor even eagle flew –And, while with silent lifting mind I’ve trodThe high untrespassed sanctity of space,Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.


    Thanks Josh for your service and friendship

    If multiple things can go wrong, the one that will go wrong will be the one that causes the most damage.

    I really miss him already.  We had a lot of laughs together.  Took a road trip to Havasu City, AZ to gather up some Mustang parts a few years back.  Joked and laughed all the way there and back.  Gonna miss my friend so much.  Thank you Terry and Lisa.
