Prior to the stroke, I did not take aspirin daily. Every doctor wants you to take it. One of the doctors I spoke with in hospital said something funny about that: If some Doctor's had their way Lipitor, Aspirin and Fluoride would all be mixed into the water supply." Can you guess which two out of that three are now prescribed to me?

Thanks for the kind wishes. I put over 400 miles on the Boxster in the last week.

Strokes are scary business. Glad to hear you are on the mend. Everyday is a gift.

My mom had a stroke in her early 50's and her mother before her in the same age range. At 58, I have been taking 81 mg aspirins for ages. My doctor grabbed me by the throat 10 years ago and said, "pay attention here." I think the Box also gets some major credit for keeping me healthy and happy. Hard to be angry and tense when driving around with the top down. Perma-grin is good for your health....

New shifter cable ends

Shifter was feeling a little sloppy so I picked up the 2 cable ends from the dealership and swapped out the old for new. Lithium greased all the bushings and slide points while the shifter was out. Shifter now feels tighter and and more precise..

Next up replacing the sway bar bushings, thanks to Neil_b's recent Road & Race this should go quite easily. I'm also waiting for some new shifter linkage clips for the transmission end of the shifter cables. Ordered from TuneRS Motorsports and should be here tomorrow.

The fun just never ends.

Finally!

Today I got my 03 Base's title changer from salvage to rebuilt and got her registered!!!Bought her in N.J. and got her trucked home last November. She needed a right front fender, hood, bumper cover and a headlight as well as lots of little stuff including a small piece of unibody. A local body man welded on the new unibody piece, "Pulled" the frame a bit and I installed the bolt on stuff. He painted it and guided me thru the maze of regulations Conn. has. Conn requires the vin number of doner cars and receipts for major pieces. To make things easy I bought a non running roller and had a receipt and vin for major parts. It all worked out well and I'm looking forward to driving her tomorrow. Seal gray with 60K She'll look good beside my 01 S. Bruce
