It should have been a cruisy day – the last day of the year, nothing left to do, nothing left to worry about…. Excited for what 2013 will hold…. but happy to wait for it to arrive….. And then the phone call…. just like the song, early in the morning…. news that a dear friend is no longer with us… Such a sad end to the year… Rest easy Hoppy

Thanks pony-tailed roadie dude! Taught once, never forgotten – read this if you do not know how to wind up cables the correct way
