a little late to the party bill. but i thought the vintage bike meet idea was good. and uncle's suggestion, or the spirit of it, is good too. we all could use the laughs from a good gag gift.

unless he thinks you're being cheap!  ;D

it's also true, that in these situations, either a gift jumps out or it's a real bugger to track down.

doesn't have to be big bucks; if it's from the heart and shows you were really thinking about him when ya got it, it'll work.

best wishes to 440cars sr.  ;)

      Well folks, while I appreciate the ideas, the day has come and all I managed to do was to take him out to eat at Denney's (his favorite place to eat), along with the 2 young men that Brenda and I worked with (It will be James' B'Day tomorrow. So, the meal was for BOTH of them. I apologized to my Dad and He said that My
"Performance" in doing what I DID and AM doing for him, concerning the S & S attempts, was MORE than enough! Of course he already knows that I'm doing the best I can at getting HIM completely clear of THEM and also am trying to get him to see his Cousins, along with a trip to the Barber Museum in Oct. ;)
