True .... I guess I should have just said "Lucky for you you're a dentist". That being the case, why are you worried about how hard it is to pull combat wheels apart Dave? ..... and why are you doing that work yourself? Just have your servants do it

Ah the "Myth of the rich dentist" has reared its ugly head. Let us slay that dragon early on in this build. Gentleman, the modern day dentist is a proud warrior of the oral condition I am proud to serve my fellow man in the great Satanic battle against oral disease. It is like rust in the hat channels of life. It never sleeps. My job is that of constant vigilance. I will not quibble that dentistry has provided me a good living. In the paraphrased words of Chico Espuella "Dentistry has been very good to me". I will counter this with the fact that the only time I am making money is when I am at my chair saving another tooth for Jesus. I could make a ton more....but NO! I take time out to make informative "How to" videos for my family here on theCJ2Apage.com to help my friends avoid the pitfalls of Willys restoration. I take time out to do the work myself so that you all could come to respect a guy who has "done it himself". 
"Hey there's a guy who has been there, done that and wants only to help a brother out." Yeah, someone might think that.
To think that my idols, the guys whose very words I hang on, whose camaraderie I covet would think that I would rather spend my time at the prestigious Buffington Hills Country Club throwing back some Johnny Walker Blue with the Mayor and the Governor after 18 holes and have my servants do all my Willys work then I guess I'm at fault for sending the wrong vibe.
Oh its easy to be hurt....and I am.... but I will redouble my efforts to send a better message.
Look! We all have our baggage to carry. Its not how much we carry but how well we carry it. See you all in Effingham. Is there a country club there?

WOW! That will tweet!

...... but seriously, when you are at the country club, do you still speak with that northern accent or do you use something a little more British?

There is a restored MB at the Airport.  It wasn't in my hangar when you were there. If you need pics of anything in particular let me know. I think it is a 44.  Did you see the Machine gun mount when you were at my hangar?
