Helen was nice to her purely out of respect for me, but admitted to me a day or so after Jim died that she felt I could do better, and that girl seemed to only care about herself.

 

Might that be....Road Rash?

That's the one I was thinking of, shitty graphics even by 1990s standards...

 

Well, how is the alternator install going buddy?

 

The alternator is on backorder and will be arriving tomorrow. It would appear that Pete got me a brand new (not remanufactured) Denso unit from his supplier!

 

As of right now, and probably for about the next 24 hours, my truck will continue to identify as a Tesla...

 

But it's only taking a few minutes to bring my battery to a full charge now, so I think I saved it...

 

Yep road rash it was. The "R" name got me

 

Even better

 

Yeah, he tagged me over in his “Alternator” thread.
I should have asked over there in that one, but I have this thread saved to my “favorites”.

Thanks for letting me know though
I appreciate it.

So, somebody bought the Corvette and paid Helen full asking price. We were not able to get Jim into the the veterans cemetery, so there will be a memorial service at the funeral home on September 16th, and then his ashes will be scattered at some of his favorite places.

I think Helen's daughters want her to move down to Texas so she can be closer to them, because Jim took care of a lot of stuff and Helen is a 78-year old arthritic elderly woman; I had been hoping to buy one of their rental properties as a first place, but I don't think I will have a down payment together before they relocate Helen.

Also, Helen has a valid driver's license and has not been declared unfit to drive by a medical professional, but when Jim was still alive she rarely drove (even her own Corvette) and I got the impression from talking to her daughter today that they don't want her driving anymore.

 

I have been in this exact situation. Nothing anyone says can help. All you can do is process the grief in whatever way you can....as long as it's a healthy way.

Ultimately though....the best way to honor someone is to eventually move foward. Any decent human being would not want to emotionally burden someone.

And remember the old clique: "Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened".

 

Sorry for your loss.

 

Condolences and sorry for your loss. I'm sure you'll find a great way to honor him.

 

Just found out I am getting sort of an inheritance...

A model Porsche 356 that meant the world to
Jim!

 

Aww man. Sorry to hear you've had a sudden big loss. That's rough.

 

A motorcycling friend was killed in an accident in May and was cremated. His ashes were divided and a portion given to several riding friends to scatter at various places they had visited with Jason when he was alive or places Jason had wanted to visit. Little parts of him are on the Blue Ridge Parkway, in the Rockie Mountains, and in British Columbia now.

 

Whawhawhat??!! Feeling envious, I want a new one too! My alternator works fine but still, I want one too!
