Thank you guys.. I will be funny until the end...Or at least I will try to be funny..

It is still rough...I have heart tests this week..

See it started in 2010 with a bad case of Endocarditis,a Heart Infection, that flicked a piece of Vegitation into my brain that seized me up the first time..

So we found a birth defect, a bicuspid Heart valve which pools blood behind the valve, which makes me prone to infection of the heart..

So although I have been to the Brain Doctor, I am going back to the Heart Doctor soon for more tests and pictures...Some day I may need a Pig Valve, I hope not..

So the Brain thing is a side effect from my Heart problems..Yes, Troubled Mind and Heart, haha..

And yes, I do things big....Big brakes, Big Rims, Big House, Big Portfolio.No Big women..

Major Organ Problems, no hang nails or small things for me...

So part of my fatigue could be the medication, or Circulation..

So, we will see what the progress on my heart is soon...I know, Heart Problems too ? Yes...

I am working to get this all straightened out, so I have the strength to first detail my car, and then to be able to come to some events...

Then at least Autocross and be able to hang out all day without worry..

My Toter will have the Red Cross painted on it, haha..

Thanks for the thoughts and prayers..Many are way worse than me..They are paralyzed, which i was for 24 hours ,two years ago, and many cannot speak, which I cans still talk smack. So I am lucky.. Also it came at a time in life where I don't have to work, Thank God... Retired 12 years early at 50, but the numbers crunch close enough...

So it is quite possible that I could go either way..I may not bounce back, or i may recover enough to be able to do a lot of what I want..

But I will be running my car really, really hard, when I get the chance. It was the first thing on my Bucket List when this happened..i told the wife, the steering, brakes, suspension, and exhaust are dead...I must drive this car before it is too late..

So I went to Steve's and he put the special effort to do it the right way for me..So now, except the interior, it is ready to go..

I hope to see you guys one day...I lost 30 pounds and got pretty skinny/frail, so I am at jocky weight, and i don't care if i blow the Motor..

So watch out...If only i had the reaction times of my twenties, but I make up for it with Big brakes and Close ratio steering..

I will keep you updated...My Heart is the next tests...I really don't want a Pig Valve..But I did find a place at Duke that do non evasive surgery , so they don't crack my chest open..Around here ,they just crack you open...I will pull money outta the Investments. to go to Duke, if I need to..

I know, I know, WTF... But There has to be a Joke in there somewhere..

Accelerating is optional...........stopping is mandatory. Your car WILL stop one way or another.

Well Done.

But where does it go ? Oh no, not there... I let them put a camera down my throat twice to check the back side of my Heart, and the ultra sound the front at the chest wall.

But I still haven't had a camera put in my you know where...

Which hole ? Don't answer...But thanks for the Joke...We gotta laugh at it, whining does no good , and NOBODY wants to be a round a whiner..

So on with the show...
