Another reason for us to keep in touch with our friends and do the required "maintenence" to keep friendships strong. All of my old-days buddies are down in California but I try to see them as much as possible when I am in town. I just had lunch with a high school car buddy on Wednesday when I was in Oakland. We went over to Kragen after lunch and they had Wieand blowers, Holleys, Edelbrock intakes, Cherry Bombs, headers, etc. in the store! It was just like 30 years ago except that that none of that stuff had been touched in years. Mr Gasket header gaskets, B&M shifters, Hurst shifters. It's the Pinole/Hilltop Kragen off of Appian Way/I-80 if anybody wants to go take a time-warp look. Anyway, it's great to spend time with old friends and it must be hard as hell to lose them. Call your buddies and say hello.
