    I understand.
    I'm lucky. I had my youth. Baseball, hunting & fishing, the ripping of two stroke dirt bikes, started riding at 10 years old. I also was a September boy, 1958. At 25 I developed psoriatic arthritis. I was a sheetmetal HVAC man eventually owning my shop in Sonoma county in 1999.At 35, my bones starting singing, a bad song. Crash. Fought that skirmish. At 45, crash, sold shop, house...divorce. Another battle eventually won after four years. There is my pattern...Ten Years. At 55 I met a second significant gal, we took an old laundromat and built it into a flaming good BBQ joint. Hog Wild, Placerville. That lasted only four years. Sold joint, sold everything. I miss the Q, hot rod nights every spring/summer Mondays...
    So I'm battling back. My disease has morphed into ankylosing spondylitis. My Swedish father had it, my Russian grandmother had bone issues.
    I hear you. When people ask how I'm doing I segue eventually into another subject.
    I'm not whining here my friend just sharing info.
    I was a self taught lead guitarist, I used to sport-tour my 2001 Kawasaki ZRX1200r Eddie Lawson, BAJA and throughout Mexico was the best month long ride. BAJA is magical. Now I get my kicks with my bright yellow rally striped 6 speed Tremec MRC 6gen2ss. Oh fuckin' A.
    The thing is my bad boned brother ( that could be a name of a band) , "The Bad Bone Brother Band" heeheehee, is this: Keep fucking fighting, battle after battle, never fucking give up!
    My next chapter, move to the Palm Springs area, buy a funky older deluxe trailer in a 55 an older mobile home resort. The dry warm climate helps, that Canadian weathered must be difficult for you.
    Okay, install on your bucket list BAJA . I grew up in the Redwoods in Humboldt county, I used to think the desert ugly...not true. Im heading south with the rest of the snowbirds.
    Keep the vids A coming.

      Thank you for you reply, i appreciate hearing other peoples stares of struggle and triumph, it encourages me that i am on the right path and all the hard work and pain is only a flicker in the long run. Owning a small town restaurant has always been area of mine!

    It takes courage to tell such a story to what may be millions of viewers. A noble thing indeed.

    You're a strong person and that really means so much! I've seen quite a few of your videos and you're always nice to everyone even if they are trying to be over smart.
    I subscribed today! Thanks and take care!

      Thank you for the subscribe, the internet is full of hatred and trolls, sometimes showing them some common courtesy means more to them then we realize.

    Thanks for sharing, you're a trooper!! Glad the doctors were wrong, we should enjoy every minute of life we are given to the fullest and from that testimony, sounds like your doing it. We are never promised tomorrow... Peace.

    I'm so glad you ovcame these errors
    And focused on positive things like cars
    I like how you don't let these
    Stop you
    I'm so glad you didn't think
    That you were useless
    I'm 19
    My hobbies and interests are video games
    Golf and fishing
    Cars computers
    I started watching your
    Channel
    Because of Camaro's
    I have been diagnosed with
    Attention deficit disorder
    Dyspraxia
    Dyspraxia is a rare neurological
    Disorder that affects coordination
    I had to go to ot and pt
    I had these two
    Ot lady
    Pt lady
    I hated both
    They followed me around
    I was kind of a
    Stubborn person
    That doesn't like to be different
    I was in the sped room
    All the way through high school
    I was always a hard worker
    In school
    At work
    I hated
    The sped room
    Because the way my brain works
    Is that it gets distracted
    By everything
    I remember
    When I was
    Trying to
    Solve a math
    Problem
    I was like what do I do
    And some kid
    Was making car sounds
    I could not focus
    This has been hell
    I would get anxiety about school
    Because of this
    These kids were so loud
    And distracting
    Ot and pt
    Ended at 6th grade
    I learned how to drive
    I was not good at sports
    But if I tried I could do it
    I still struggled in school both socially and academically
    I was in a low level math class and English
    With kids
    Who would have been labeled
    They would make weird sounds
    I thought I hated math
    Until
    I went to math help
    And I got better
    My motto
    Is work hard always work hard
    Fuck
    Losers who say you can't
    Believe in yourself
    😁
