First She Had to Take a Ride on a Boat

[sharbours]

Oh, Steve; I'm so sorry to hear about Pam. Like the others, I have followed this thread for a long time, and have been so impressed with your restoration of Island Girl. It was obvious in your posts how much you loved Pam, and what a wonderful life you had together. I know the last few years were difficult. You gave her a wonderful gift, keeping her at home with you where she was surrounded by familiar things. Thank you for sharing her with us. I hope these posts bring you some measure of comfort; there are so many people here who care about you.

We're keeping you in our thoughts.

Sharon

Steve, you and Pam have my prayers, I'm so very sorry for your loss.

Thanks very much for sharing your life with us here, it has been a privilege to get to know you, and to get to know Pam through your words,

I just put up an ad in the classifieds for my original Princess stove. Time for me to clean out the storage unit I had for the project so the stove is available and free to anyone who needs one for a project.

Decent shape, but I've never hooked it up to gas. I suspect it would work fine.

How goes the war, Steve?

Your thread and blog have helped, zlee. Great job in some tough conditions. Just promise to never get in a hurry with it, OK?

The war goes. Life will go on, but it's very hard at this point. Going to take some time.

Remember where you told me not to be in a hurry...? xox

I wish I wasn't so far away, your stove looks way better than mine.

I've enjoyed following your wonderful work on a classic. I am also sorry to read the very sad news. I can tell that you two really had the best life together, doing and seeing the world. I wouldn't trade that for anything. The best to you and Brissy this coming year.

Hey Z,

Doing OK, not my best year so far, but making some progress. Going to be on the move in a week or so and I'll get a post up on that.

Congrats on joining us fulltimers. Don't have a torque wrench either!

Yeah, it'll take a while, as you know all too well. But great that you're getting back on the road...where are you off to? I'll be on the west coast in April, trying to decide how far north to go--don't suppose you'll be at the NorCal rally at Casini Ranch?

ETA: and -- ha. ha. ha. on the torque wrench.
