Surgery to repair the knee tomorrow at 3:00..... and I don't care how ambulatory she is -- I'm punching the throttle on the rig April 30th.... I can set up a camp stove with a stock of soup by her bed. She can make and eat soup from a prone position.

Good luck to your wife and wishing for a speedy recovery!
What happened to her knee?

If I had a big trip planned, my wife would try to make me go even if she was non-ambulatory. I'm betting Mrs. GW is exactly the same and someone is smack talking on the interwebz...

Good thing she doesn't come on Lat-g. LOL

She tore the ACL and meniscus 5 weeks or so ago hiking up Adams Gulch in knee deep snow without snowshoes... Then had to hike 3 miles to get out. Both Doctors here told her she may be able to do without the ACL and that she should try to just do physical therapy and see how she would get along. She was doing great.... and then tried to climb on the Willie Nelson statue in downtown Austin - and the knee separated and down she went. So now it's surgery repair it or she can't walk.





Totally true! And she'll do better and have more fun with me gone.








Hey -- after 43 years together... it's a good thing she doesn't know a lot of things!!! LOL

Good luck to the misses on the surgery and hopefully a speedy recovery.

Thanks for sharing the adventures GW and good luck to her on the surgery!
I recently came across this ACL story... oooof!

Man,....that sucks. Hopefully the healing process will be smooth and short!

She just got home from surgery this afternoon -- 6 months for full recovery --- biking in a few short weeks (she bikes 50 to 60 miles about 3 or 4 times a week)....

Good luck to the Mrs, Greg. 6 months sounds miserable.

Sending Gwen prayers and best wishes for an easy recovery

Another hot rod
 

Greg hope all is well
I know it's tough to hear a phone at the track
and in the race car. That's what I tell my wife and
all my workers and clients. Race time is my time!

Was talking to a guy at the Virgina City Hill climb that
has been to every one. He sat his family down and told
them I don't care what happens they better not mess up
his one big weekend a year. Any issues can wait until
after the event

It's all about Racing everything else is waiting

The original "breather" system on the '33 wasn't working very well.... On the San Francisco to Austin, Texas trip - I'd get little drips of oil from the filter - and it would blow back on "everything".

Since the car was being shipped back to Brizio's in SF for storage until we go out to drive it down for the LA Roadster Show.. I asked Roy to come up with a better solution. There's now TWO -8 AN lines (one from each valve cover) to a catch can mounted on the firewall - versus the ONE -6 AN line (from one valve cover) it used to be.

I dig the car Greg. Looks like fun to drive.

It's a great driving little hot rod Brycen. Smooth - fast - solid. The one thing Brizio does is builds a SOLID hot rod. Everything works perfectly and fluidly. I wouldn't change a thing.

Right on! I'll have to find you at the LA roadster show and take a look at it.

I'll be there parked with a larger group of BRIZIO cars..... not hard to find. You've got my number.

XOXO

Sounds good. See you there.

I love those valve/coil covers on there. So sweet but so pricy.
