What's Up With Uncle Lar???

[JUST 1BULLITT]

Hey All,
GREAT question on TakeDown bein' AWOL! LOL! We'll see what happens...but how's Ol' "Uncle Lar" doin'?!? (I see from other postings he's fighting health issues again and did I read right that he's SELLING his Marauder?!?! :(:depress:) let us know; bad news all of it if true - especially just as Car Show season is kickin' in too! I had a BLAST linking up in early March out at Volo...we outta try that again some weekend soon. :beer: Take care all my Windy City Brothers!

He's smack dab in the middle of a move. I'm sure he'll be around soon. It was good meeting you to!

I guess it's time for some updates so here goes.Health wise I'm not doing so great,the stress from having to move,finding a place trying to get the packing done and the actual moving,which is still not quite finished contributed really beat me down.The heart problems have worsened slightly,I'm having a hard time sleeping and can't sleep laying down or I can't breathe,so I have to try sleeping sitting up in my La Z Boy.That contributes to another problem,poor circulation in my lower legs and fluid build up.My lower legs are swelled up to almost twice their normal size and I've developed oozing sores which won't heal.So I have doctors appointments with my regular physician,the cardiologist and have to make an appointment with the sleep center to do a sleep study.
JustBob or Dom can tell you I ain't my old full of p_ss and vinegar self and the realization of not being superman anymore or being able to do any of the things I used to be able to do and the things we all take for granted is pretty depressing on top of the rest of the stuff.
The MM isn't officially for sale but if I could sell it and break even for what I owe I'd do it,losing as much time from work as I've been doing has created some money problems and of course work isn't happy about me missing days.
To top things off last Friday I stopped by the garage at the old place as I still had the Harley and all my parts and tools in it that we couldn't get moved the previous week end.I stopped by and checked on the garage every morning before work and after work on the way to the new place.there was so much stuff to move the tools and stuff in the garage didn't get moved.Friday afternoon after work I came over to check on the garage with the Harley and all my tools and parts in it as I had every morning and evening since last week end and found the big garage door wide open and my tools gone along with my air compressor and a bunch of bike parts.As it turned out my absolute ditz of a landlady there who had no business going in the garage came over and looked in the garage using the door opener,closed the door and went into the apartment she also had no business going into as my rent is paid until May 1st,stuffed the keys into an envelope along with the opener for the contractor who's going to remodel the apartment starting May 1st and hit the opener button while operating in her usual daze opening the garage door and the scumbags sauntered in and helped themselves.They even used my moving boxes to steal my stuff! I asked her what the he!! she was doing in the garage ad she replied she wanted to see what was left.What an airhead!She also left the top doors in the front and rear of the apartment totally unlocked even though I still had a few belongings in there.
The cops who showed up say she's responsible and had no business in there and she should re imburse me for the losses and I also have renter's insurance with a really good insurance guy who called me and told me not to worry as they'd make sure everything got replaced but let me tell you I was really po'd at the stupid landlady.My buddy Chicken George came over with Mark and we got the more valuable stuff out of the garage along with the Harley Friday night so there's only a little bit of stuff left at the old place to move yet.
So much fun.

Oh damn Lar! I'm sorry to hear of this, that had to be a gutwrenching thing to come home to a open garage door! I would hang her high and dry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wait wasn't my brand new race jack and dewalt 18v impact gun in there? I'm gonna need those back soon................Go get her!

[Quasar3210]

This whole story still has me shocked since you told me about it on the phone. I hope insurance takes care of everything for you. And they hang that stupid landlady out to dry.

[Local Boy]

Sorry to hear, Brutha...

Best wishes, and get well soon...

ALOHA

Hey Uncle Lar, SORRY to hear ALL that!! Man, concentrate on your health first and foremost! The tools and stuff IS a definite BUMMER but you can get those back; your Health and your heart is a one time deal! (Your symptoms sound like congestive heart failure big time; like my Dad had...the SAME stuff w/ SWOLLEN Legs and those sores too; NOT GOOD!)

Damn dude, get better and we wish you all the best! (IF we get to do Volo again I'll cover your Entrance Fee again for sure dude!) What a bummer deal. Take care of yourself and keep us posted!

[TAKEDOWN]

Oh Damn! Sorry to hear the bad news and I'd also like to apologize for not helping you move that weekend. I just couldn't get away!

[Motorhead350]

Anything you need call me.

I should change my name on here to Mr. Softy ;)

[TAKEDOWN]

Uncle Lar does have health issues, but I can definitely say he's out there alive and well!
