Gentlemen, it has been a great pleasure. (zbillster's farewell post)

[zbillster_imp]

so here is my submission to playgirl magazine ...



thanks for all the warm and fuzzies. okay, maybe not my LAST post here ...

depending on the condition of my cb ... its journey ended in a field so it may not be too bad ... i may be posting it for sale here after repairs if the insurance company does not total it. i will also have some gear to get rid of, and maybe the samurider tall seat to sell separately. i will post updates ... will look at it tomorrow with a friend at the impound lot.

so being self employed in my late 50s, i have to deal with health insurance challenges, rising rates and shrinking options, client ups and downs, and risk assessment ... i have some coverage for this incident but it will probably be a large financial hit. i think a helicopter ride to the hospital was involved. cha-ching!

given my situation, before this happened i was hoping for one final arkansas/missouri ride in the fall before reluctantly selling the cb and accepting my fate as a cager ... but then ...

i will consult with a lawyer but given that there was no vehicle impact and the rural mailman may be an independent contractor, and it is a federal agency, that route looks doubtful.

again, youse guys are great! thanks!

btw ... always carry a phone charger with you ... luckily an S2Ki forum friend stepped in and sent one to my hospital room.
