Also had a very encouraging discussion on what to expect for the next phase with the next doc, as this surgeon had friend who had a similar thymus situation (though larger) + cardio issues, and he's kickin it at 5 yrs and going strong.

Great day and I feel good!!



That's good news

Ruined my drive in the 500 on this beautiful day. Could hardly work the clutch, and could barley get in and out with the knee. Probably wont be able to get around tomorrow, knee still aching, and ankle screams every time I move it. Stupid ****ing arthritis, old injuries, old age, etc.
Lol, wtf were you thinking? At your age, thinking you can just start running is not a good idea

Awesome, Charlie!

It feels great because of that, but the problem is that your right heel makes a serious divot where it rests from working the gas pedal. You have to take it out regularly and vacuum that spot well with a nozzle type vacuum attachment to fluff it up.

I'd say if you didn't do that, it would wear down to the backing in that spot fairly quickly.
I was worried about wearing my mats out with it being my daily driver. I bought some cheap, clear mats at Walmart for about $1.50 to protect them and my original mats still look new.

Yeah I think there's something about stretching, warm-up, stuff like that - before you run. Seems like I read that once.

There was a 70 Boss tribute (clone) for sale here recently. It went for $15,000. I exerted great willpower to not go look at it so I wouldn't be tempted. Now the same guys have a nice looking '90 notch for $6995. That looks tempting.

I think I'm gonna go with the steeda sport springs and ask for shocks/struts for my birthday/Christmas. Supposed to lower it 1.25" so that would be the extra half inch I'm looking for. Tint and LCAs come next month. Currently leaning towards the MM...

I think the 1.25" is all that it will need to look right.

Ideal would be 1.5"but that just won't work for a DD...I'd be happy with 1.25".

I think the surgeons are pleased in part because all their other patients I saw were upper 60's & 70's, in wheel chairs and walkers and oxy tanks... and here I come in being my animated positive self, all smiles and polite and full of hopeful expectation. lol
