That is bizarre, my brother-in-law was just released from St.Luke's and he had basically the same thing. Pulmonary embolism. They could not figure out why he had it but they got him fixed up with blood thinners and antibiotics. It was Friday to Tuesday. Gotta get checked out for a couple of months on a weekly blood test. Keep us posted on his recovery.


Sinic, what size tires???? I got old 14", good tread to slick, your call. Still mounted. Can get them removed for $5 ea.

ah that sucks... well now we can reassess our scheduling then.
btw I'm up for whatever and its likely that I can sneak away from the fam some time after christmas to meet up with ya. Don't know if I will have a new trans in the car by then and I don't want to drive across town in 4th gear and/or battling 5th more than once :X (synchro for 5th gear is dead!) either way lets get together so you can at least have an idea of what a B powered car is like.

Well it blows that VP is out, but if thems is the apples let's make it earlier, say 8. I would say 7, but if some folks are coming across town that's going to put them in the worst of the traffic. Everybody cool with the Wings n More at 8?

John, I hope your dad makes a speedy recovery and you have a good holiday.
