Still alive....lol

Post by 8541Hawk »

It's been a while since I have posted anything so time for a quick update. It was a rough year due to some medical issues and I just stopped using the comp about 6 months ago..... it is funny how fast you don't miss the whole on line thing if you just turn it off for a bit....lol

Anyways back on track... had the surgery in mid Oct. ended up being 10hrs on the table and then a week in the hospital but things turned out well and I and finally off of the post op restrictions and am actually feeling pretty good for the first time in years.

So while it wasn't a fun year, things have ended well and I will try to remember to check on line once in a while.....

As for the bike...actually went for a ride last week..... the new engine is a beast :wink: but that is for a different post

Merry Christmas and have a great New Year. =)

Dread to think of the mechanic's bill for that work!

Good to see you back with us. Merry Crimbo.

Merry Crimbo Mike and here's hoping for a better year for you. Well, not just for you but everyone really. I know what you mean about putting the computer down though I find it difficult to go completely offline. The Internet is like the most addictive drug in the world. Where else would I do my shopping and communicate with others. :lol: Glad to hear that your feeling a whole letter better. :thumbup:

Welcome back, glad you're OK.

Seems slightly odd saying that when I have no idea who you are and vice versa but I must have read pretty much every post and comment you've made on tuning the 'storm. So even though I don't know you your advice is very much welcome :thumbup:. Even if I never have the balls to actually try any of it.

Welcome back Mike :D
I'm very glad to hear it's good news on your heath. I knew you hadn't been on for a while, although I didn't realised it was so long.

A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you also, thank you,

Chris.
