    you can donate it to the local Mini club as a fundraiser...sending me a T-shirt is not important right now...your health is Priority One)

    The Gnatster is doing fine in the MINI cave...

    I hooked up my battery tender today with the "de-sulfide" cycle program.... Battery is fully charged now and in the green and will be maintained during your time off...:Thumbsup:

    Less time to worry is a good thing. Take advantage of the pharmaceuticals and get a good night sleep. Before you know it, it'll be over and you'll be relaxing with a jar of morphine.

    Hey Nathan make sure you order some good PPV porn tonight so you have a good nights sleep.

    Something with Hot Nurses in it should do the trick. (Pun intended) :p

    Refer the surgeon to BlimeyCabrio's blog page on how a 2X4 lifts a MINI for the next time he has to do a manifold swap on a MINI person.

    There are different types, but they all share that common theme. I have a hard time believing that it broke anyware but at the handle, gears or where the parts come together--if it broke anyware else, that's a problem...I used to use them, but haven't in quite awhile, they are industrial strength type items.

    Those things look simple. They are simply. And they are through the roof expensive. Good thing Nate won't be charged for it. It is something to be proud of, breaking one of those puppies, good for Nate!
