Hello Bob,
 
We are also hoping you become bionic soon too. Although these "repairs" can 
 be scary at least parts are available (not like our cars!). I am chasing a 
 transmission leak and original radio install this summer-both are keeping 
this  retired body busy.
Best of luck friend.
 
Don

Bob. Sorry to hear the disappointing news, But titanium is a  precious 
metal such that you will be worth a lot when they bury you!! I have  two big 
titanium joints - have had for 16 years - and they seem to operate  better than 
the original equipment. But the infection is scary. Be sure you  follow 
doctor's orders so you are better for next year's activities.  

Frank

Hi everyone,

I have had a serious setback with my motorcycle  accident recovery after 3 
months on the mend as a bone infection set in about  2 weeks ago and I was 
back in the hospital to have the pins, plates etc.,  replaced with antibiotic 
ones and now have home care nurses coming in every  day to administer an 
antibiotic intra-venously (PICC line) for the next 3  weeks. To make matters 
even worse, I have to have this antibiotic hardware  replaced with Titanium 
in about 5 weeks. How much medical abuse can a man  take? Lots! This had 
ruined an otherwise perfect summer.

Obviously,  because of all this medical crap, I have very reluctantly been 
forced to  cancel my reservations for the Owls Head event in Rockland, ME 
which I was so  much looking forward to attending and meeting all our online 
subscribers who  are coming up this way. My Sunbeam Talbots and Alpine have 
not moved from  their winter storage positions in the garage but been started 
every 6 weeks or  so to keep them active. Sadly, it looks like they won't 
be put to use until  next summer. Bummer!

In any case, I am sure this will be a memorable  experience for all of you 
attending. Have  fun!

Regards,
Bob
