Hey Louie,
Really sorry to hear that..hope it was very minor attack..you know..no need for the paddles though..just lay down behind your car...and fire it up....the exhaust pulses will "start you up".......
yep..the mid point of the Heckowee is of course your house (if you are still up for a large group of 928 owners taking over ) Hope you have that dyno fired up since I believe some are hoping on doing some runs...
On the PCA..we don't have anything against the PNWR (local Seattle region)...and have on occasion done some of their events. It's more of a timing thing..they have moved their Drivers Ed events to Thur and Frid..making it hard to attend...and their drivers skill days are usually booked out by the time we get to them. And their tours usually fall on some of our events....but that said...pop on out to Louies next saturday..and you'll get your fill of 928's for sure ..
later,
Tom

Hi Louie,
Thanks for the offer! I am sorry to hear about your heart attack. I hope you are feeling better and recovering well. Steve mentioned the recent rumble in your 928 with the 600-hp. She's gotta be an impressive beast.
I've just joined the PacNW928 Yahoo group. Unfortunately, I will not be able to make it to Heckowee. I am shuttling between Singapore and Portland over the next couple of months. I leave Portland next weekend. I will definitely look you up when I get to your area during one of my road trips later in the summer.
Hi Ken:
The 928 sprung a small coolant leak during my return journey from the Arrive-and-Drive event yesterday. The coolant sensor kept coming on. I was able to stop at a roadside gas station off I-5 at Woodburn, fill her up with some water (could not find phosphate-free coolant) and was able to drive her home. Surprisingly, the water temp did not go into the red zone. I can't tell the location of the leak, but have yet to take a closer look. It looks like I will not be able to work on her for another three weeks until I return from Singapore
I'll swing by and say hi when I am back in Portland! See you soon.

Louie,
I can help with the dyno. I was going to come out early anyway. I'll even volunteer my car to do a test run, to make sure everything is working 5x5.

Wow Louie, hope your doing better.
Bad news for the heckowee tour. I was up HWY410 this weekend and both passes are closed and will be till the end of the month unless the weather gets hot real quick. Sent the info to our event cordinator and we will see what he decides to do with it. May have to put it off for a few weeks, But thats ok by me Gives Louie time to rest before we invade his peace full home.

Oh man, sorry to hear about your recent event. Its weird because I almost feel like I know some of the members of the web from reading posts and following the progress of their projects. This makes it seem almost like family when someone has a crisis.
Anyway, it is good news that the echo shows your cardiac function to still be within normal limits. You will still need to follow Dr.'s advice though especially if meds are prescribed. These can be very important to avoid negative remodeling of the heart after an infarction. Also, if you have the option for cardiac rehab, do it.
If you have any questions, feel free to PM me. This is what I do for a living and I would be more than happy to act as an interpreter for some of the medical lingo.
Get better soon.

Any thought from your docs about a coronary artery stent?
