Medic time, not mechanic time

Most of you probably know what sadness has been going on with my family. If not, look at my nephew's blog at Smackie the Frog since about July 27 and follow the posts.

On top of that, my girlfriend Sue has been and is still in the hospital. She was insulinoma (a small tumor on the pancreas, believed to be non-cancerous) and has also developed a bad gall bladder. Hopefully, the surgeons at Barnes will be able to take care of both problems in one fell swoop.

Anyway, not much is happening on the car front. I did acquire 2 brand new tires this weekend for the rear end. They are the same brand as the previous 4 I bought, Cooper Cobra GTs, except wider and brand new. Still have the stickers on them. I am not sure if I will put them on now, or wait until after I am legal and can really tear them up properly on some asphalt. I am also still running down leads on both crate and used engines/transmissions.
