TT, I never pass over a post from ya! I won't go into it here but I'm with you on the political front.

Good to read things are improving to be sure. BTW: I've worked on those Camaros... " the horror, the horror...."

Be well.

Good to hear about progress, TT. I think the increasing walks are an especially good sign. Mebbe they're not as long as you're used to, but it sounds good for a guy who's been through what you've just gone through.

 ;D  Good to hear your on the mend, however slowly it may be.  I figured you may have been a writer or engineer (both?) by your posts.  By the way, what does (sp) mean?

My dad had Pneumonia at age 67.  He was a heavy smoker.  He survived, amazingly, even with emphesema (sp),

   On bike note, I've refrained from posting numerous times just by going back and reading your posts.  I recently reset the static and dynamic timing on my bike after reading a couple.  It will almost idle at 1050 rpm, but I still have to sync the carbs.

   Still not breathing right, hmm.   I know you're using a Uni filter...have you cleaned and reoiled it lately?   :D  Sorry, couldn't resist.

Means it was probably spelled wrong, but I was too lazy to look it up and provide correct spelling.  :D
I was an engineer.  Lots of writing.  90% of the deliverables are in the form of write ups and documentation.  Production/manufacturing uses this to make product.  All the prototypes made are just to prove the design and provide a bit of touchy feely.  In the end, they get thrown away.  It's the written documentation that survives and becomes the recipe for product creation.

   Still not breathing right, hmm.   I know you're using a Uni filter...have you cleaned and reoiled it lately?   :D  Sorry, couldn't resist.
Hey the filter is brand new!  You suppose the breathing will be better if I take the plastic wrap off it? ;D

Cheers, and thanks to all for your nice words.

Ha, ha, ha. Yes, remove the plastic wrap, but don't forget to oil the element.
