Great news. You weren't partaking of any spinach, were you?

No, I guess not from the FSW report. Glad you're feeling better.

Steve,
I'm glad that it all "came out alright" in the end. Hope you continue to recover well at home.

I wonder if this means that infomercial about getting monthly colonics for the 30# of impacted feces is right?

Very good way to put it. It was only after watching my ex-wife do a heart transplant that I really realized how complicated some of these operations can be these days.

Glad to hear you are doing better Steve. BTW, Metamucil is your friend here. Many of us who travel for a living and eat a terrible diet (no other choice most of the time) have found that it really makes life a lot better and safer at the same time.

Welcome back Steve...Hospitals are good places to stay OUT of! I'm sure the MD's have given you the dietary lectures. Paul

I'm coming in late on this too ( been outa the country for a while)....

...so...

I guess this would be a bad time to ask if a single-in / single out ( vs dual out) muffler is better than the other....eh?

Speedy recovery, Steve !!! ....

Steve, glad to hear you are feeling better. Without reading Mr Wilkensons post, I am assuming there was a Leak down test performed on your combustion chamber.

ROFL,......Indeed, a leakdown was performed (everything seals well), but the plumbing was found to obstructed,...

Severe back pressure issues, to say the very least.

I know this is a very old thread but it is on topic and I thought I would bump it rather than start a new one.

Has anyone (maybe those who are closer to him) heard from Steve? I have been working with him over the past few months on putting together a parts list for a suspension refresh I am doing. About 3-4 weeks ago when I was about to order I stopped hearing back. I am worried about him as his silence is uncharacteristic and I am aware of his previous health issues.

Sending all the best Steve, hope you are well!

Hi. Steve is still out and about. In fact he posted here yesterday. Reach out to him again as sometimes life overtakes you and this may be one of those times for him.

It seems to me I have seen posts from him recently, but not sure. Mr Weiner is a great guy.
