    I'll have extra hands and my surgery is to correct a broken bone. My soft tissue is all 100% :-) It'll come out okay. It'll be a month or so before i can work again so I want to do what i can before the surgery.

    Vinyl top install on a 66

    AWESOME! The second site really squared it away for me. Warm days are common lately, but then, it might be 60 tomorrow and 30 the next day. Jacked up weather we're having here. I as considering using a blow drier to heat it up.

    Ok, Surgery is 10 January 2008 at 1145, I have to be at the hospital at 0945 (of course..) and if it goes like last time, It won't actually start until about 1745. Last time however, I was litterally squeezed in, this time, I'm being scheduled well in advance.

    Second surgery.

    ROFLMAO! That's hilarious! Unfortunately, it will be awhile before I have another date,( I went nearly 3 years in between last time) and I am a notoriously bad cook (I'm so bad that in the field I don't heat my MRE' up.) So it is unlikely I'll be trying this, but still... DAMN!
