Thought I better do an update - I have no progress to update.
Ive been not much more than a breathing veggie most of this month (and probably a good bit of next). So I have conceded that my desired completion date will not be met.
All in good time...

Re: '82 R100RS 1MK Restoration
Thankx SteveD &Me109,
When I was inspecting the tank & bits, I had the overwhelming thought of - Fuck me, I just painted that !
Yes... still a huge mountain of work to do.
I was a bit skeptical if I would even get her finished, before I was... but last week I was diagnosed with 100% cancer free kidneys
Looking forward, with new vigor, to clocking up the pinnacle 7th digit

Re: '82 R100RS 1MK Restoration
Joe, that is lovely. You've got that smoke beautifully placed. I'm looking forward to seeing the red go on.
You mentioned being "a bit crook". Then we find out that you have been battling the Big C. Bloody hell, mate!
You have probably been going through all sorts of horrible medical indignities, way beyond being "a bit crook".
Keep on keeping on, Joe. I raise me glass to you and Betsy.

Re: '82 R100RS 1MK Restoration
Thank you Charlie, daz,
I made a public post elsewhere about the modern medical world & practice... and my take on it.
Many have very strong opinions to either side of the debate... as do I...
One could say "Ive been an airhead on an off road Adv"
This was my post -
Huge News Flash !!!
... that big brother & his pharma brothers do not want you to know !!!
Medical Cannabis completely kills cancer cells, tumors & cysts !
My personal short story -
3 years ago I had more than 17 tumors, cysts & multiple kidney stones invading and killing my kidneys to the point of complete renal failure.
Several surgical procedures later, a total of 7 (less than half) tumors were removed, equating to removal of 28% of my left kidney.
My prognosis was drugs, dialysis, drugs, waiting, drugs, transplant, drugs and a life of more lifeproviding debilitating chemicals & drugs.
3 years ago I completely stopped taking all forms of pharma meds.
Even whilst in hospital & home recovering from surgery's I refused the specialists insistence of antibiotics, chemo & other pharma drugs.
The only exception was the extremely rare use of a Dr's prescribed opiate based pain killer.
I choose instead, a regime of self medication using only Medical Cannabis Tincture... combined with life style & dietary changes.
Yesterday late afternoon I was given the results of blood tests and scans taken earlier that day.
Scans show ZERO Tumors & ZERO Cysts remaining in my kidneys !
Blood tests showed Kidney, Liver, Prostate & Lung functions are that of a 35y/o non drinker / non smoker !
I owe my life, as a living example, to the Undeniable Benefits of Medical Cannabis.
It will then come as no surprise when I now say -
I herewith dedicate myself to the ongoing promotion, support, research & education of Medical Cannabis.
I wish to publicly thank each and every person that has a been a part & continues to be a part of my life's journey, You are a vast many.
I am extremely grateful to you all for your sharing of love, joy, happiness, sadness, emotion, compassion, spirituality, humanity / commUnity, intellectuality, encouragement, inspiration & enlightenment... crossing the span of daily encounters & communication, intermittent meetings threw to many inspiring people I have met but once... including many I have not met in person at all, some im sure may not even remember me.
I Love and Thank You All
Peace - Love - Light
Namaste

I hope they did not find it necessary to remove them to determine that...... Those guys get a knife in their hands, and they can get a little aggressive.

Awesome, Toga!
Call me Mel. Some years ago- never mind how long precisely- having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me at home, I thought I would ride about a little and see the other parts of the world.
