Well I am back... For Now...

[Big Jeff]

As some here know... For the the past year or so my Dad is fighting stage 4 lung cancer. For the most part he has been doing as best as can. Dee and I came back for an Easter visit and for the first week things were ok. On our second week here, my Dad began having more problems. On top of that, my mother came down with severe pneumonia and was hospitalized for 3 days. Over the next two weeks, there were many sleepless nights trying to take care of both my parents. It also became quite clear that my mom couldn't take care of my dad by herself.

So Dee and I decided to come back and help for the time being. Since my job doesn't entail me working at an office building, or at least I am not tied to my office in Columbia. They graciously said I can work up here for now, and we'd review the situation in a year. If I need more time we'd work it out.

To bad it wasn't under better circumstances, but we'll be able to make some rides and functions this year which will be nice.

With all that being said, I have to make an unplanned move up here with all my stuff soon. I plan to rent a 24' moving truck, which should be able to get all my stuff except the bikes. Does anyone have a two bike trailer they can let me borrow for a week so that I can bring my two bikes up when I make the move?? Should be in a couple weeks.

jeff you can borrow my open trailer with 2 wheel chocks in it to bring them back. it has fit my 636 and a sv a few times so should work fine. tows great. just registered it and redid the lights last year so it works great. let me know and ill give you the key for the tongue lock.

BTW sorry to hear about your father, i understand the strain a long term illness can have on a family, if you need anything while your up here do not hesitate to ask i am home all day during the day.

[VTRDarren]

Well, glad to have you back, just too bad it wasn't under better circumstances.

I'll be out of town with my open trailer from May 11th to the 16th. Russo's might be a better option if that time frame conflicts with your schedule.

[PFFOG]

The two rail open, or the 6x10 enclosed should be available. The only exception is I have a track day at Calabogie June 19 and 11th and plan on using the enclosed for that

[badkitty]

so sorry to hear about your folks...but happy that you will be back in our world for a while!

[Big Jeff]

Thanks Guys... I wish it were on better circumstances too.

Russo/Richard, I'll be in contact as soon as I have date when I want to make this move. Not sure yet if I want to pull the enclosed or just pull russo's opened yet. (I would be pulling with my expedition) Either way you guys are awesome. :)

[Evil Jay]

Damn...sorry to hear, Jeff and Mike. I hope everything improves.

Post up if you need help unloading, Jeff. If school and work aren't kicking my ass too bad, I'll lend you a hand.

[Steve]

[Jonesie]

Jeff,

So sorry to hear about your Dad. I can't even imagine.

[Jackie Chiles]

Very sorry about the circumstances, Jeff, but glad that you are back.

[99zx6r]

Sorry to hear about your dad :(. Glad you'll be in the area for a while tho. Glad your job is flexible enough to allow it :)

[jaja111]

Welcome back. Sorry the circumstances aren't ideal to say the least. Hope all goes well.

[Big Jeff]

Thanks for the well wishes and offers to help unload!! Not ideal but glad to be back to see some old and new faces, and to get out on some rides to clear my head. Hopefully dee and I will be able to attend some track days up here too..

[russo]

jeff anything i can do for you or bring back that will fit in the car while i am down here?

[Big Jeff]

Nothing that I can think of right now Mike, but thanks for offering!

[russo]

no problem if you think of anything before saturday let me know i plan on leaving early sunday morning provided everything here keeps moving in a positive direction.

[jpracecraft]

LMK if i can help

[badkitty]

I think Big Jeff and Russo need to go out with all of us for some destressing when things stabilize. We love u guys! kisses

[jason]

I know I can't really offer any help but if you need to hang some Friday or Saturday night and have some beers, I am here for you guys.

[russo]

thanks guys. i am up for beers on a saturday when i get back. ill be coming home monday morning if all goes well. dad will be in the ICU until then. I guess I have been a real help he feels comfortable with me so he does not have as amny episodes while I am here so hopefully he will be OK after I leave. if not ill be right back and figure something out with work and school. family comes first

[Motoman 1000]

Sorry to hear about your dilemma. I lost my step dad to the same type of cancer last September and can relate all to well. Keep your chin up and stay positive Jeff, it makes a difference to those that lean on you. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

[tittykaka7]

Damn Jeff sorry to hear it man.. thats tough to deal with. Hope all turns out well..
