Charlene and I will be praying for you and Linda, old age isnt all fun and games, we tend to be more susceptile to everything. Maybe its time for a trike, I will never drop another bike as long as I have 3 wheels under Charlene and I..........not worrying about me getting hurt, but I sure dont want to drop Charlene again! QUOTE=Venturous;799566]It started out last Sunday when Linda and I went for a short ride, just to get out on a beautiful fall afternoon. After stopping at a store, we got back on the bike and as we started to pull out turning to the right, I stalled the bike. We did the slow tip over and I hit the ground hard with my arm under my right chest. I could not get up by myself and also could not breath. I finally got up on my hands and knees and two guys came over to help me get up. They also picked the bike up for us. Linda got a skinned place on her elbow the size of a quarter. I ended up getting two X-rays, but the VA could not find a break in my ribs, but I was told by another doctor that only about 50% of rib cracks can be seen. It is now Sat morning and I am still in a lot of pain and a simple hiccup feels like getting punched in the ribs by Mike Tyson. I was diagnosed with a chest wall contusion. Now, that is the good part of the week. A couple of weeks ago, while at work, Linda experienced some chest discomfort for a few minutes and Friday a week ago, she had some dye work done to see blood flow around her heart. While waiting for the results, she went to work Wed and ended up having a heart attack. They did the probe thing to see if they could put a stent in and can not find her Left Anterior Descending Coronary Artery which is also known as the "Widow-maker", due to a problem with this artery being so deadly. They ran another dye test and it also does not show this artery passing blood. So, on Monday, her team of surgeons will make a decision on what to do. She is still in the hospital and if they do a by-pass, she will be in there until about this coming Friday. She is in great spirits, but she is scared and so am I. Randy & Linda

Yeah, I know, I had the wrong colors on, and Charlene blames me for LSU losing to the Dawgs:bang head:

It was Julio or Dana...........I know nothing about shirt sizes...............:cool10:

A few pics of our small group at St. Jude Children's Hospital.

We dropped off $8200.00 for the Kids at St. Jude..... :mo money::mo money::mo money::mo money::mo money::mo money::mo money::mo money::mo money::mo money:

What are you picking up. sure hope it road worthy and not a barn find.

Good to hear all is better now. Just dont overdo it. I am still going to have mine done, my knee got in the way, now just hope I can hold out till mid Oct to get this one done.

Spoke to a rep from St. Jude about our visit this Sat. 9/28. They were sorry to say that we will not be able to tour the Ronald McDonald House as they don't have anyone available on weekends to do the tours anymore. So looks like once again we will be touring the hospital again, and maybe the Grizzly House which is on the campus. This will still be a great experience for those that haven't been to St. Jude before. I also spoke to them about our getting a brick or a plaque for our donation and they are sending me info on what is available, she did say the bricks are not available right now, so looks like it will be a plaque on one of the walls. I will keep everyone updated to what we will be doing.

Awesome looking boat there Don, I guess you will be hard pressed on nice days during the summer as to what you will pass the time doing. Do I ride the HD or go out in my yacht, tough decision, I know we used to spend a lot of time on the water when we were dating and first married. We shared a boat with my dad and when he wasnt out with it we were. Good luck with the test drive, hope it runs as good as it looks. Congratulations.

Right now its is hovering right around $7000.00. :mo money::mo money::mo money:

Curiosity.............thats all.

Will you and Don be on 3 wheels or in four....................???

Unbelievable.............check it out......... [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIGfO2Dgc9Y]"Vivaldi Tribute" (Patrick Rondat) Tina S cover - YouTube[/ame]

Still time to change your mind about Memphis.......................:banana:

You were withing shouting distance and didn't call............................:crying:

I know how it goes Larry, hope Joyce gets better and back to normal. We will miss you and Joyce.

The Phillips head screw in the oil plug is definitely magnetic, when I had to change my pinion gear in my 83, I found a lot of small metal fragments attached to the end of the screw that protruded through the drain plug. Its not a really strong magnet, but it was strong enough to collect a lot of small fragments. And the magnet at the bottom of the oil filter wont work on a 1st gen unless you have the spin adapter replacing the stock filter housing which is magnesium.
