The good news is Bruce's wife was able to diagnose and get a treatment plan that not even my primary care doc could! I should be go as new in the coming days and then fully healed with the next month.

Michael,

Great rolling shots again.

My Targa actually looked clean - until I got caught in the storms by Wake Forest

I made the list this week … YIPPIE !!!

Seriously though, it was a good time at the coffee shop, and a great time going for a drive! First time I ever went for a drive with a bunch of Porsches. What a blast. I'm still grinning. Next weekend can't come fast enough.

Sorry I missed coffee this past Saturday, had in-law duties. I will be there this coming Saturday morning. Dell, sorry to hear about your ongoing back issue. Sounds like you are on a positive recovery path with PT. Good to hear.

It's a really bad feeling heading towards a tire wall and knowing your stupidity put you there.

I backed way off the last session.

Dave, glad you were able to identify the error of your ways. That's one of the hardest things to not do when you get fixated on a "target". Glad to hear you kept it out of the armco!

Wahoo!!!! Looks like I am finally back in the mix again. Back is recovering nicely. No lifting allowed and still have some more PT to do, but I should easily be able to get back in the routine Sat! Probably no driving though as I still have a tough time with getting into the pcar. Will be pimpin' in the 'lade
