Saw the nurse thursday. She said it looks great. I guess things are going ok. I've been good and haven't been out of pajamas since surgery. No lifting, no stairs. I see the doc again on like the 21st.I

Bummer is I think my shoulder is taking a step backwards. Can't do my exercises with the "do nothing" orders.

Isn't that what you do at a track?

Oh, you can deal with the shoulder later, it won't go anywhere.

This would be a great time to teach your new puppy to "go fitch". Go fetch me a beer, go fitch me my pill bottle, go fetch me the remote, my slippers ....

Stick with the program - I never did, but wished I had - more than once -

She is a handful right now. 6 month, which is like "terrible twos".

My brother tells me he is selling his 1965 GT350 clone for kids college expenses. I kinda wish I had the money to buy it. It is very well done, and a driver.

Incurred or future potential expenses? If the latter, offer to pay him installments, that way he doesn't blow the cash in one go.. and it secures the kid's education.. And the car stays in the family, giving you a nice "this paid for your education, kid" rub your nose story....

BTW, what's up with you? I haven't been following this thread for a week or two.. boy, things change so quick..

Looks like Ol' Abbot wants to shut Texas down again if children cannot behave right. Does this not remind you of the whole, "behave or I'll turn this car around!" ??

Potential expenses. I've never been a Ford guy, but cool car. I was surprised when my brother bought it, since he has never been a car guy.

I've had some bad luck with a couple medical conditions that have made life difficult lately. Both the kind of problem that just happen for no reason. Just lucky. I'm seeing a couple doctors and getting treatment, so hopefully back to my annoying self soon.

As much as I could anyway. Unfortunately drag from the new rear wing cost me 8-10mph on the front straight and lap time improvement was a net zero

Have to machine the adjusters shorter to reduce the angle of attack anymore

Half hour sessions every hour for 7 hours. 1.5 tanks was the drive up and back though.

Take care, sounds like you have it under control. As for Fords, I never owned one, although I have always been drawn to the 3door Cossie.
