As many of you know I was hit by several roadside bombs during both of my tours in Iraq and have been at Ft Bragg in NC for initial treatment. Well, the Army is sending me home to Sarasota Florida to begin 6 monts of treatment at Bay Pines VA Hospital with hopes of getting me back to my "normal" self.
I just thought I would let ya'll know since I get a lot of email asking me how I am. So, I can't wait to go to a breakfast and show off the new 930 tranny and frame work.

Just droppin a line and will let ya know more in the future. Take care!!
