Ken, I had Heart Surgery March 24th. Ok, well not exactly Heart Surgery since my Heart is still intact, but I had part of my Descending Aorta Artery replaced with a Graft. Yeah, lucky me and I just turned 47 on Feb. 19th.

Thunder and Lighting here this afternoon, sorry no pics., she has been the Garage Queen since March 23rd when I had to park her, I won't be able to drive until I am released from my Heart Doc.

So your ticker should be good for the next 47 years now.

I ordered some of that Z1 eine cockpit stuff. After 7 and a half years of nothing to protect the dash and interior bits from sunlight, I thought it was time to do something about it.

After going in to see a Cardiologist and in a Month and a Half's time having Surgery, yeah it was a bit unnerving.

I could be released as early as May 19th or as late as June 2nd, I'm kinda' hoping June 2nd (10 weeks).

Yeah, supposed to be 73* here Today!!

I snapped a couple of pictures or RJ's Ms Molly!

Dawn, Black Wow, quick re-wash, clay, Epic, Clarity, 303, wheel wax, tire dressing = 4 hours of caring attention. RJ love's this car.

Ms Molly is quite a beauty. The Union Jack side scuttles are a nice addition. Now RJ, just get well enough to drive your baby!

My package arrived! not sure how... I tracked it and its still in-transit. Maybe I got the wrong box? I will need to open it later...

HagDaz coffee icecream is my favorite too and we have good taste!

In other news, I vac'ed the house and also fixed a door to my music room that was starting to get out of alignment. Seems the caster was a bit off and needed more camber as well. Adjusted both and gave it slightly more toe-in for a staightline stability when opening.

It's just a pict snapper... Mine died over the holidays (had it stored in the garage and it seemed to have froze itself ) never re-started.

So hopefully this weekend I can get better snaps of my Z and the new CF thingie.

Pict Snappers' are good, they at least allow you to document stuff I'm getting to old to remember!!

OH, but I guess if you got a pict snapper the box won't be big enough to be a Fort, huh??!!

Have a Great Day, pict snappin' and Stuff!!

Ms. Molly looks great! It's wonderful to see Oxy Blue as it was intended (and not streaked with manure and road dirt like...some people's MINI ). Nice job Mini2na, and Congratulations RJ!
