tennis, cars, and where did the summer go

[paul cass]

hey guys
ok, i finally have a chance to sit down and check club cobra. can't believe the summer is gone. here's what i've been up to since my so called retirement. up at 7 and home by 8 or 9. in between i teach tennis to about 100 people, and work on restoring 2 cars. when i can i try to run a little, go to therapy for my neck-still has a ways to go before i can do what i want, work out, do tennis drills with a friend of mine, see my wife ocasionally, and travel to see my son and daughter play tennis tournaments. i'm trying to set aside a couple of hours in the middle of the day to rest my neck. started the summer with a call from a marlon cook to repair his wrecked cobra. turns out he wanted to have his insurance company total the car out and i got caught in the middle. without going into a lot of detail, the matter was finally resolved after a lot of discussion with the insurance company. took over 4 weeks before they finally paid for most of the work that we did before it was totaled out. he lied to me saying that he wanted it fixed while behind my back he was discussing with a supervisor to total the car. watch out for this guy. he conned the insurance company and me. found a 66 gt mustang convertible for sale that belonged to a friend of mine and while it was in really good shape, it needed detailing. after about 4 weeks it was ready and i gave it to my wife for our 36th anniversary. found a 65 ford-you'll have to wait to see what kind- i decided to restore and keep for a daily driver. its at the paint shop right now. should come out this coming week. a friend who knew that i had retired from the school system asked me if i would be interested in finishing his 67 shelby gt-500 fastback. since i wasn't building anything at the time i said yes. turns out it needs a total restoration. almost finished with installing the suspension and then its off to the paint shop. i hope to have my 65 finished by the end of september and the shelby by the end of october. those that make it down to my event will get to see all of the cars. whew! thats why i haven't been visiting club cobra or for that matter much of anything else. maybe things will slow down here soon. anyway, hope everyone is doing fine. the details for the cobra by the bay event will be posted next week. look forward to seeing ya'll next time out. have a great weekend.

That is quite a "retirement" you are pursuing.
I bet it is a whole lot more interesting/fun doing
what you want to do and the car projects appear
to keep you busy - no boredom there.

Maybe in a few more years I'll be there too!
I'm working on it.

Paul,

Now you know why I went back to work. I could only stand 3 years of retirement, I may never retire again LOL.

They need balance. Lift a full circuit of medium weights at least once a week. Especially your butterflies, lat pulls and military presses and such. And consider real aerobic cardio-kickboxing as well..I kickbox 3 x a week. I take DHEA, essential oils and high grade nutrients as well. Start out slow and work your way up on the workouts. And see a chiropractor. Learn to set your neck yourself if you eventually dare (My father was a chiropractor BTW) And:

If you have joint or muscle pain : Take a table-spoon each of honey mixed completely with apple vinegar 1 to 3 times a day.. be ready to wash this nasty mix down with something like water, juice or beer...this rids your body of excess uric acid. Drink lots of water as well..
