I hope I'm not out of line here, but I wanted to pass along some well wishes to Jim (Aircooled). He is a RL member out of Golden, CO and a heck of a guy.
Ben (BLT4SPD) and I were communicating with Jim, trying to setup another coffee get together a little while back and received some cryptic emails in response. We realized he had a stroke, and was having a hard time typing.
I looked him up today and noticed he is still logging in, and I'm sure reading the 993 forum. I know he loves driving that gorgeous 993 Cab of his and probably not enjoying watching it sit in his driveway.
I wanted to let you know, and hopefully you can let him know, we all hope for a speedy recovery and cheering him on.

Thanks for posting Tony! I was hesitant to say anything as well!

Thank you all very much for all of your best wishes. As has been said before, what a super site full of caring, passionate people. Your comments mean a lot. After a short hospital stay, was transferred to a rehab facility, where good progress was made improving motor skills, speech and other day to day living skills.
i am currently back in home continuing the normalization process and doing very well. Driving has been restricted until i get an ok from my doctor in possibly 4 more months
Warm regards to all, and looking forward to getting back on the road again, in the meanwhile i must have patience.
Thanks again.

I still owe you a detail on that beautiful car of yours and I'd still love to do it. So, when you're up to it, let me know and I make the time to come over and fire up the polisher! PROMISE!
Please take care of yourself and call or e-mail if you need anything....even if it's just a cup of coffee!

Best wishes! My father went through something similar about a decade ago, and recovery is possible and will happen... but requires work and patience. Hang in there and keep working on it. In the mean time, I highly recommend the book "My Stroke of Insight":

Many think of a Colorado as a beautiful state, but I can vouch it's so much more so when Jim's 993 is on the road.
As many have said, brother: here's to a Speedy recovery!

UPDATE: Jim's ready to get back in his 993 for spring!
Since his last RL post >8 months ago, he's attacked the Rocky Mountains with determination, & successfully gotten back into 1 of his passions, skiing
Big news about getting back into another of his passions: Jim says he & his cab are ready for spring!
Jim-- You told me you lurk on RL. Can't wait to see you "back in the saddle" again. Seeing your Baltic Blue in motion makes life brighter & better.
Congratulations on your speedy recovery
