    Welcome! Did you have to import the Tundra or did you bring it with you (if you retired there from elsewhere)?

    Nice looking truck!

    I'd say you earned that retirement. I hope the pain of losing the 3 yr. old is somewhat tempered by the many lives you saved... Thanks for your service and sacrifice.

    Thank you yes I actually saved my wife last year, after doctors gave her oxy and she fell to the floor at home after surgery, my children had to call the Medics, while I was giving full LifeSupport

    She made it and the Doctor had to answer for the Medical Board.

    And it has been a Pleasure to serve, to help those in need, when they need you the Most.

    That little hope you bring, showing up on Someone else’s worst day.

    children are the Hardest, but hey Life goes on and we took an Oath.
    The RedLine Oath is Sacred to me.

    Step up when no one else does.

    So one needs a getaway truck to disappear into the Beauty of Nature
