New Old Guy
Greetings from Cedar City, Utah! I like the way this site is laid out and my thanks to Edge for getting me hooked up. I am a 58 year old fart that has been retired as a catskinner (30 years) for the past 3 years! My wife is also retired (school teacher) and we live in Cedar City, Utah. I build custom motorcycles (choppers) and run a business repairing HD's and other American V-Twins under the name of Iron County Choppers. As incentive to quit a 40 year tobbacco habit, my wife (Marsha) bought me an '04 MCS that is loaded with every custom option including a complete JCW performance package. The mini is in showroom condition and keeps a permanent smile on my mug! I do all of my own wrenching and look forward to learning more about this incredible ride. I will post pics of my sled when I check into the site more. The name Doof is short for Doofus Dave and you should be able to fill in the blanks! Later

Hello Dave,
You will be a welcome addition to NAM! Sounds like you've got a nice car, send us some pics when you can.
I quit 15 years ago and it's one of the greatest accomplishments in my life. Hint for the day. Do stuff often where you wouldn't use tobbacco. I took my wife to the movies every night for a month. She loved it!
Good luck, I'm rooting for you!

Welcome Doof. I quit smoking quite a few years ago on the 15th attempt. The thing different about the 15th attempt I acquired from an Alaskan logger . . . (tired out and converted to Alaskan logging truck driver by the time I met him). . . any way what helped me was focusing on the pleasures of not smoking. The pleasures: The way taste comes back, especially the good taste of your significant other (for example, don't wear white socks after August); smell, especially the smell of chiles roasting in the supermarket parking lot in September (you'll have to drive your MINI to New Mexico to experience it); pride, making one's own decisions instead of having an addiction make it. Oh, the other trick, I drank a beer every time I wanted a cigarette. This pretty much assures you'll be thrown out of the 7-11 and won't be able to buy cigarettes.

Thanks for the warm welcome and support on the cessation I'll be confronting next Monday! I just want it to go away with me being in charge for a change. My sweetie (Marsha) and I have been together for over 40 years and maybe I can clean up my insides and enjoy what time I have left with her, my kids (3) and my 10 grandchildren. Marsha and I are going to take our tent trailer and camp out in our beautiful mountains for a week without the smokes interrupting everything I do. My question is, what do I do after sex if I can't have a smoke? Anyway, cheers to you all and I'll keep you abreast of my success. I'll send some pics of my Coop, fam and choppers when I get over the first month of the withdrawal. Doof

Well, I got my first speeding ticket(40 over) in 43 years of driving and the fine is more than the new tires I just bought for the Coop! I don't have a track nearby to rid the testosterone levels, so, I guess I need to install a governor on the motor or a good failsafe fuzzbuster! Young cop that busted me acted like he hadn't had sex for a long time. He told me that if I didn't shut up (I was pretty unruly) that he would handcuff and arrest me and put the Coop in impound. I went off the chart after that and told him that he better get some backup since I told him he wasn't going to do it by himself! Anyway, he called for another officer and luckily I knew him and he calmed me down and I only had to deal with the citation. I feel pretty lucky after the fact! Anyway, just needed to vent here since my nerves are all fired up:impatient Later- Doof
