Hi There!!!!

 

Winter is about over, and not much for show for it.  Sometime during the winter something happened to Kool Kat's brakes.  I had my Regal parked in the back yard, and when Tweety's heater quit (when the temps were in the basement), I was going to have to drive the Regal while Tweety was in the shop (it was just too cold to work on Tweet, we don't have a garage).  We had about 8 inches of snow on the ground (with more falling), Kool Kat started right up but when he went to stop it, the brake petal went right to the floor!!!!!  luckily the deep snow helped him stop it!!  Mike hasn't tried them since it has warmed up, but he is pretty sure there something is wrong with the brake lines.  The Regal is going back out to Alan's soon (two more coats of paint and the rear spoiler). 

 

Now!!!  for Mike and I it was a loooooooong winter. After my knee surgury last September, I got a case of Bronchitis, and never got totally rid of it till about a month ago.  I have quit smoking, and I think that is what finally got me over it.  Just last week, my youngest brother (there are six of us) went into the hospital and is still there.  He has a Stomach Tumor (inoperable now because of the heart attack he had the day after he was admitted).  He was in Cardiac CCU for three days.  His heart Cath showed he was not capable for any kind of surgry, his legs are swollen to twice thier size (my baby brother weighs 340 pounds to start off,) that is caused by poor circulation (and very painfull), his blood pressure is frightfully low and NOW he has a Urinary tract infection, so he is on anti biotics for that.  The IV makes his food taste funny so he can't eat because the taste makes him sick (sigh). 

 

Kind of a bad time here.
