Morning update. Just spoke with nurse, sleeping beauty was counting Christmas tree lights for a racer....2 yellows, then 1 or 3 yellow, then 1 green....or the dreaded red! Keeps mumbling something about Commerce, 11's, better rear brakes, rest hard to understand, oh yeh something about Hooters! I think he's on the mend. Tube comes out chest today. Then minimum of 2 weeks to stabilize lungs before any flight....chance of recuperating here, where he's at. Pray for that please, best for him.
He's about like yesterday, but still improving. I told Janet he'd have a visitor or two today. Mark and Cal. I'm off to work, she'll let him know I called. The recup was stated as acute, takes a while, we still need all the help we can muster. I'm heading up this coming weekend, if not sooner. But probably weekend. He's got glasses, just needed some readers, so hopefully he can watch video today and comment. Great news in all. Thanks to Larry, Russ, Jay, and everyone who's contributed in any way, you know who you are, THANK YOU, Dragracing and forum etc. all one big family. It warms my heart to see the response for my mate! Bill

Yeh, run 9's gotta learn when to turn that horse loose!

Great to hear from you! Glad to hear you're starting to stir. I'm sure you'll be stirring things up soon as well.

Just wrapped up my 2500 mile cruise on my K8 750 (or "mid life crisis tour" as my wife puts it) yesterday, that took me through Petersburg, VA a day late. I arrived Saturday, too late to offer you my support then. Hoping the prognosis for a full recovery is spot on, so heal quickly and get back to busting chops!

Bill needs direction!

Best wishes from both me and Karen.

Good to see you're on the mend Sam, keep up the recovery you still owe me a cup of tea, perhaps get it at Stafford in October.

Great news to hear things are going the right way Sam, keep up the good work! :-)

Sam, I hear you are not eating proper?? WTF?! Eat yer damn food and quit grabbing the nurses' asses!

You gotta eat well to heal well.

calj737 · « **Reply #41 on:** June 29, 2014, 12:47:02 PM »

Here with Sam, and Donny from nearby. He seems in decent spirits, a bit disoriented yet. Good sense of humor, maybe still just a wee bit dazed. Some charming young lady the name of Linda is gabbing him up on the phone and he's carrying on quite well.

Will snap a few pics when he's free, and post them up. (Trying like hell to get a backside with his bum hanging out, but no luck yet).

Mike when I asked Sam why he carried his bike down the track instead of riding it, he said you'd built and that was the reason it blew

So despite the toss, I suspect his charm is in tact!

I've traveled pretty far and wide in my days, what planet exactly is his accent from?

Cal, Donnie, thanks so much. I should be up by @ lunch or mid afternoon on Friday, Bill

calj737 · « **Reply #44 on:** June 29, 2014, 02:35:11 PM »

Bill - Had a very nice chat with Sam. He did pass along this message for you

And after a bit, I think the meds got the better of him... All I heard was "9, 9, 9, 9". This must be a racer's version of counting sheep?

I've made arrangements to stop back in the AM to try and rummage up some reading materials. If anyone has a strong recommendation about what would be of keen interest, I'll take any advice. Sam mentioned Sci-Fi and modern "avionics" perhaps? Couldn't tell if he was lucid or if it was his accent. Sorry-

Bill - Are you driving or flying? Let me know your schedule and I'll pop in to catch up with you. And the thanks is mine, or sending me to spend time with an absolutely charming, and charismatic gentleman. He's something special and very easy to know in a short time. Very privileged to have made his acquaintance.

Jerry Rxman Griffin aka MuthaF'er · « **Reply #45 on:** June 29, 2014, 02:49:36 PM »

Bill, looks like he got yer ass again!

Never seen the old buzzard without chewers. LOL That sure as hell doesn't help with the speech

Bill/BentON Racing · « **Reply #46 on:** June 29, 2014, 03:25:12 PM »

Jerry, yes he did, probably repay him when I first see him! Haha

Cal,all that and more! K. I'm driving, bringing his bag etc. Helmet yes, leathers ....No!

Bill
Saw that pic...might not remember all, but that says a lot! K. Happy Bill

Thank you cal and Donnie for nipping in and seeing him, means a lot. By the way, the charming young Linda isn't young, she is old and she is my Mum

Thanks again chaps,

Jonathan.

Now, Jonathan, we here in the South practice this thing called chivalry. That means we never call al lady old even when she's your mum. By the way, your Pops was quite humorous relating her relationship as the ex-Ex. And he did confirm, she is your mum. So we've got the two of you agreeing on that!
