Like you I'm on a high right now! I may go TP your old house just for fun!

What I saw at the track? A bit of this :catfight: and a lot of :grouphug: you've got some good people in your life and I'm glad I was able to be there.
Love you buddy!




Well I'm sure as hell not dying in an effort to make you feel like the trip was worth it! Fawk you! LOL

We ALL have the best people ever in our lives because we're all right here!!

I am feeling rather "special" right now though... :>)

We are all big tough guys and intimacy doesn't come easily to any of us... to share one on one is huge - and to publicly share is just over the moon.... I love you buddy! I love each and evey one of you and all your support behind the scences has been overwhelming.

Gwen has finally been introduced to our community and she is just blown away by it. For whatever reason she just had no idea how tight we all are.... Sad that she had to take so many years to find out but WTF.... now she knows and we start a fresh perspective from her.

Little known fact...THIS is the Lat-G theme song.

:P





All kidding aside, thrilled at the news for you and your family Greg. :thumbsup:

I thought we were having a Hawaiian shirt themed bon-voyage party for GW?!? Well dang...

Hey, if that marvel mystery oil can fix a ruined liver, Ima buy a case!

:popcorn2:

The car is totally different but works great. The ass end started to come around on me in several spots but would recover instantly. I told Ron about it and he has a solution for it. I also need to get used to the brake pedal travel. Ron is prescribing a different diameter Master Cylinder to suit how I like the pedal to feel. Lower gears and the new engine pulls hard. Fun car that I can change to my liking and then return it to T-Rex when he decides he is not leaving us and needs his car back.

Greg,

Glad to hear the good news of your fight. You have touched many more lives than you know. Keep on racing!!

First off the damn floors were spotless. He says he works on cars in the shop. I'm not sure, 2 lifts, no cars, and a floor you could eat off. Hmm.

If you ever rode a crazy cart like the small one for kids, its a blast. These were the adult version. Wow they were fast, and I had to get off cause I got dizzy.
Damn they're fun.

LOL! what a son-of-a-bitch, to do that to us. He'll probably want me to go to Charlies and pick the car back up, so Gwen can relax. That of course would be the happiest day here at lat-g community. Just let me know when!
Greg you looked great this past weekend, and I'm looking forward to hanging out again in the future. Keep up the fight! We all love you.

P.S the low fuel light isn't a warning. its just a reminder to start looking for stations.

wiedemab 08-12-2016 01:55 PM

Wow - -I got busy at work this week and hadn't checked in on what was going on with the Lat-G community.

I'm beyond ecstatic for you! As you may know, my wife is on her own journey to prove the medical community wrong.... we are both absolutely convinced that she will. I shared your success with her!

Now go buy some more tools! ;)

Glad you didn't make it up ---- I get these terrible stomach cramps that cause projectile puking...... and seeing you would be sure to set one of those off. So thanks.

See ya at THILL dickhead!

Funny --- I used to see certain cars in the RV mirror --- and I'd just pull over and let them by.... now I roll up on those guys with as much vengeance as I can muster.... and I think maybe "I" have become one of the cars they see and pull over!! LOL

SEAT TIME and SUTTON SAUCE!

I drove two or three sessions on Saturday and had an absolute blast! Sunday -- Saturday's activity was a bit over the top and the cancer kicked my butt Sunday morning -- so I just rode with MattA and Rob Dickey.... and we had a great time. Charley took over duties of driving the old worn out POS on Sunday. Bob Braga and Sieg then took the trailer and Mustang up to Charley's for us on their way home.

Very many - too many - poignant moments.... and that was a bit emotionally draining. But damn we had fun!

Greg you have no idea how stoked I was when you jumped into the passenger seat. After watching you kill it on track on Sat I just couldn't bear to watch you sit idle without some Sunday adrenaline pump. I loved passing by the flag station seeing "#36 hands in the car" on the message board.:clap:

Thanks for the track pointers. It don't see how a future track day will top the experience of my first time on Sonoma Raceway.:headspin:

See you at T-Hill.

clill 08-12-2016 06:32 PM

I have been googling "Rick Simpson oil" and there is some amazing reading. Anybody out there fighting cancer should at least read about it.

When everyone is done reading what they find on Google, be sure to find out how to vote to legalize marijuana in your state so that this plant can be studied more for its medicinal potential.

Trey --- You have no idea how hard it has been for me to gain information - get advice I can trust - and obtain what I need. Ridiculous!

This is why I PROMISE to document in a thread what I had to do - supply line - my life during etc.

Right now I'm in So Lake Tahoe cruising with Gwen in her new super car (LOL) and feeling 100% healthy and I'm looking forward to doing stuff next year! I will give 100% credit to the RSO/CBD for getting me to this point.

glassman 08-13-2016 08:18 AM

Fascinating, truly hits home. My oldest is close to his doctorate in physcology and his professors want him to be a physchitrist, he has specialized in brain activity for the last 8 years. He said our bodies have natural hemp receptors in them and "some" people need the chemicals found in certain "weeds". Funny, being an adhd spaz growing up, I was a pothead for about 5 year, but hate the feeling of "stoned or drunk".....

It will be an interesting few years coming up as we find out how certain natural plants will be beneficial when managed properly....

P-car, hmmmm, good choice.

Greg, so good to see you this last weekend and such great news to continue to hear.....when you've got your health, you've got your wealth!! Definitely a balancing act.....Cheers, enjoy the trip (OF Life).....

Greg,
Newbie here trying to learn from you veterans... I'm up in SLT as well, let me know if you need any recommendations on restaurants, hikes, etc around Tahoe and I'll pass along my favorites.

Adam! Dang --- Ended up making a reservation at The Landing --- right! For the right DAY NEXT MONTH --- WTF -- So we stayed at Harrahs and did room service. We just woke up this AM pulled on pants and shoes and beat feet!!

I'm only couple hours from Sun Valley now - rolling at a HIGH rate of vibration up US 395.

Welcome to the boards!

Big money pharmaceutical companies can't turn a profit on the stuff. Beer wine and spirit manufacturers will fight to the death to keep some weird reefer madness stigma out there so recreational use doesn't cut their market share.

None of us will really know the whole truth in our lifetime of the benefits or lack of of using cannabis based treatments.

Who will pay for multiple studies to prove something so easy to cultivate and process actually provides the benefits of drugs costing billions to develop?

There are some published studies and in Israel, for one, many clinical trials do exist.

What is obvious to me is; as a treatment it provides quality of life. Greg is evidence of that. He's a little more goofy than surly these days but he is living life not feeling like **** while chemo and radiation kills his body in an attempt to fight the cancer.

None of us know what time we really have left so the most important thing is to make the best of the time we are here.

If you A-holes had ANY idea how sick I was mid May ------ and if you could SEE me now..... you'd be blown away! You would bet me big money to prove I DID NOT have cancer, because that's the way you'd feel if you saw me.

I drove most all the way home today --- that's about 6+ hours of driving. I only hit 155mph once..... then Gwen turned green.... LOL

F CANCER!

GregWeld 08-14-2016 07:34 AM

So after a whirlwind 9 or 10 day trip - which included tracking at Sonoma - lots of late night (for me) activity --tons of fantastic friends etc.... Then we ended up going to Napa for a couple days -- played golf -- ate dinner at The French Laundry (important only because it runs half the night and is rich with lots of sauces and that sort of thing). Then Gwen got the wild hair to act on my suggestion of driving a Porsche Convertible home.... which set Alex into a frenzied car search. Bingo - now we have a drive to Los Angeles.... and it's heat and smog and traffic and...... off we go. Two days of driving (unplanned) and we end up in Lake Tahoe..... and then finally home last night.

Why is that significant? Because driving up the valley -- we get an invite to go straight to dinner at Rickshaw rather than going home and collapsing..... I say Heck yeah! This is a big change. Just huge. Three weeks ago I'd have said - no thanks I need to go home and call Hospice.

This morning I woke up with "I wonder what I should do today" ----- instead of my usual shuffle to the coffee pot and then sit by the fire pit and sip a 1/3rd cup of coffee. I'm on my second full cup..... and am looking forward to the day!

#F cancer!


BY THE WAY ----- this is not just ME trying to talk myself into feeling better! I FEEL better! I would have expected to wake this morning and be sluggish and feeling a bit pooped or like I've "over done it". Nope. It's not to be.

I've now backed off the THC/CBD combo and am "only" ingesting (not smoking) .3 ml each per dose - and am doing this now TWICE per day. ZERO stoner feeling and this is almost as much as they want you to work up to! LOL

Ketzer 08-14-2016 01:15 PM

If you're thinking we are going to get tired of hearing how much better you are doing, we are not. Rock on GW. :thumbsup:
