Hey guys...

Heard the Austrian F1 was one of the best races in a long time...
Friend in Austin is giving me his DirectTV password so I can watch F1 on ESPN for free.

Update on ME.
Last Saturday I had a reaction to a neuropathy pain killer, gabapentin. Side effects were vertigo, double vision, and nausia. Did 911 ER trip when realized was vomiting blood. Spent a week in the hospital.

Sleepomg in a hospial


They treated me like was having a stroke though had no numbness or weakness. The blood was a tear in my esophagus. In all the tests they found a very small stroke. Smaller than the end of a pin. Would not cause the symptoms. The gabspentin takes a long time to build up so is taking a while to lose the side effects. Still a little dizzy but get around well enough with a walker they sent me home this evening. They are doing more outpatient testing and monitoring and sending me some in home help.

Good thing is that they found the beginnings of a stroke before it really became and issue and can be treated for it and prevent real damage. Interesting that they are not finding any plaque which is usually the cause.

Update on the 928
While laying around in the hospital made arrangements for fixin up and selling the 928. It needs bigger injectors and a narrowband O2 sensor hooked up to the ECU and tuned. Have ordered the parts. It runs, but to get it to run the narrowband is turned off and the injectors are maxing out at full throttle. Several knowledgeable 928 guys are telling me miles, unique desireable color, manual, and current market it should sell for more than $100K. Just wouldn't feel right selling it for that much with it needing injectors and proper tuning.

My nephew is more of a car enthusiast than I am, especially since he now owns several companies that manufacture classic car parts. He knows major contacts at all the big money car autions. He has been doing a few project cars and making top dollar on them. He has agreed to manage putting it in shape and getting top dollar for it. Says it makes a big difference who puts their name on prepping the car.
