    Re: 3 minutes to Miller Time

    Sat was an awfull day weather wise-cold and raining off and on-today is better. In spite of the weather Euro Fest at the BMW factory was a blast. Lots of old British and German cars. There must have been like 100 Morgans-30 Ferraris-25 lambos- a lot full fo BMWsw and Porsches. Lots of german food and draft beer. I had my driving limit of 1 with some kind of German wrap filleed with pork- chees and lots of other stuff- called a Doner???Supposed to be the most popular fast food in Germany??? Absolutely killer. Finished up the evening with too much Aussie Syraz. Raining like s*&* so I had to cook with the gas weber instead of charcoal.Still not bad

    TH- Back in the day I went to a number of Oyster roasts in hampstead?? near Wilmington- Great- The Oysters I have tasted so far this yer have not impressed me. Need to get down your way and pick up a bushel of gtood ones. We get the trash.

    My gas heat came on - I was afraid it would not- drink a shot of that Basil- that will warm you up.

    Headed out for a burger and a beer. Cheers !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Chillin out with a Ketel and tonic. Man this crazy economy. Slow days last week - all bad- Now 180 degree turn. Companies spending money like drunk sailors. 40 k profit day easily. shame -I only get 17% of that. But I anit got a clue what tomorrow brings. I couid not answer my call or functoin normally- no lunch- freaking total insanity- everybody had to get their stuff now-the ones making my car payments got the call backs-the rest can wait- I keep waiting for the bottom to fall out but has not happened. Go figure

    Monday nite football- chicken and vodka- does it get any better???? I will keep the bar open for the rest.Have a Ketle one on me

    Cheers dudes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Not hiding.....just weary.  Been in Durham at Duke Regional Medical Center with the wife.  Medical problems relating to her kidney transplant.  Not much sleep.  Will not hear the results of her biopsy till monday or tuesday.  Hoping for the best.

    Wishing you well Ace......hang in there.

    Time for a Makers Mark and an early night.

    TH- Sorry for the sports jokes- Had no idea. Thoughts and prayers for you and your wife. My dad is on year 11 with a kidney trans[lant so I know what you are going through.Hope the results are good.Hang in there.

    Ace- sometimes changes such as yours are the best thing that ever happened in the long term.Was for me.

    Would love to have a tequila sunrise but too much to do today.Maybe a beer with the ball game later.

    Re: 3 minutes to Miller Time

    No problema buddy.  Most of the time I am more private than this but last night I needed to talk a  little to my buds here.  Just been talking to doctors lately.  Julia is on year thirteen with her kidney.  Her sister in Charlotte was the donor.  Years later she recieved a pancreas that lasted 9 months and rejected.  Her second pancreas is on year 7 I think.  Julia was a juvenile diabetic (type 1) since age three...and depended on insulin twice a day.  With the pancreas (that makes insulin) she was no longer diabetic.  Set backs have been occasional with years of normalcy in between which neither of us take for granted.  A routine visit at Duke revealed a problem with the kidney that caused her blood pressure to rise to a dangerous level.  Our hope at this time is that the infection is acute and not chronic since the acute is treatable and medication may save her kidney. 

    Thanks for the comforting words guys......it means a lot.

    Re: 3 minutes to Miller Time

    You are doing the correct thing going to Duke. Charlotte has a good transplant program but the aftercare here sucks. Without going into details 2 different doctors have intitiated incorrect actions that nearly killed him. Different doctors  with completely different treatments corrected the issues after we questioned the mediations.He has developed diabetes as a side effect of the transplant.But all things considered- he is luckly to be alive at 77 years. OT-I had a 9.9 on a scale of 10 ankle fracture- hours of surgery- 15 titanium plates- screws - pins. I can function normally(inculding shifting a 6 speed) now and do just about anything that I want within reason. Still have some pain issues. Now some jerk doctor who looks like Osama bin laden wants to REMOVE the hardware. WT%???? . My "good doctor " put a stop to that plan. My point is QUESTION anything that seems wrong or unusual. Second opinions are good things if something does not seem right. I am sure that she is in the best of hands at Duke. Once again thoughts and prayers.
