Pat that's pretty good.

Thanks for all the well wishes guys. I have one of the best Orthopedic surgeons around fixing me up. Should be back to wrenching in no time.

You should have just crashed your head into that big rock instead of trying to save yourself with your pinkie finger. There is no way your head would've got hurt.

Is Roger supplying the screws for the surgery. Don't forget the locktite. Dare I ask how you broke the finger. Good luck with the repair.

I had jumped up on top of my trailer in order to fetch some big rocks that I had put up there earlier in the evening to hold a projector screen. I wasn't so graceful getting back down the second time around after having a drink or three (or 12), and when I put my hands out to break my fall, my right hand landed right next to one of the big jagged rocks I had just thrown down to the ground, and it caught my pinkie finger, bending it back, a lot......

Damn Mike. Good luck with the surgery and recovery.

Can't believe it hasn't been said yet, but I don't think that WILL BUFF OUT.

Thanks to all for another great event. Very happy to see we missed the Arctic Blast that rolled in this week.

Hans - the Pioneer DEH-80 PRS radio arrived yesterday!

If we had a "Ladies Spa Day", would more women attend? Adrienne will be happy to coordinate as she does not have the need for speed.

Mike - Speedy recovery!

I talked to Mike @ 3:30p. He was out of surgery. The doctor told him it went real well and he would have to swap bandages for a cast in a few days. Mike said he'll be up for supervision of Simon's torque tube repair Saturday afternoon if that is on the agenda.

Glad to hear Mike will recover. Where's Simon's torque tube repair taking place? I can bring the orbital and see what I can do to his hood.

Thanks to Roger, Laura, Mike and all the others involved in third coast. Had a great time, Texas crowd is a bunch of great people. Great conversations and not just about 928's. Wish I had my 928 and not a rental or right side seat. Texas country roads were fun even in the Jetta, damn 928's kept getting in my way!

This is a must attend bucket list event, if you haven't been to third coast, you have to make the time and effort it is worth it!

Hope you aren't planning on Roger's lift. There's an S4 on there in the middle of a TB/WP job. I might have it buttoned up by Fri night more or less. At least enough to roll off.

I'm pretty sure he's taking up Brads lift this month. Rent is paid.

I finished the Stepson last night about midnight in preparation for Simon's car on Saturday. So there.

Video is edited and should be uploaded to YT later today. It's long, but I think it captures the weekend better than any past videos I've done.
