Hey Rick,
Did not know that you were ailing. Best wishes for a speedy recovery. Too much to do, and too little time in which to do it. Hope that you're driving your -6 as soon as weather permits.

Hey Rick - Now you may know how your MSTRS feels when you poke an O2 sensor up the exhaust....! Get well soon and get outa there........I reckon being in the garage is better for your health than being in a hopsital! ....even better?..... to be cruising the countyside.

Kind regards

I know the stress of waiting for spring can get to you this time of year. Just close you eyes and go to that happy place behind the wheel. But remember, don't go towards the light!

We need you back on the BB Rick. I'm surprised you didn't have your laptop hooked up in the Hospital.

Seriously...Take care and we look forward to hearing from you soon

Rick,

Wishing you a speedy recovery from South Carolina! Speedy as in the way a 6 feels when you're going thru the gears!

Jeez Rick:

You gotta get better soon - what about CDIII and CDIV?? Long may your big jib draw. That's nautical for long life and get well soon! Happy St. Paddy's Day!

Rick - I don't know what landed you in hospital but from me (a cancer survivor) 16 months now I've been in remission, I know you can beat this whatever it is. You'll need a project to plan for the future. This will take your mind off whatever it is. Don't ponder too long on it. My only problem over the last 4 months has been that I get out of breath when I exert myself. They found out my pulse rate is running 38 to 46 and at night when I'm asleep, it sometimes drops to 26 per minute. Next week they'll install a Pertronix - I mean a pacemaker to take it back up to 58 - 62 per minute where it should be.

Don't be beaten when equipment and skill can beat this for you. Hope you get well real soon !

Hey Don E....maybe we can roll his hospital bed out to the parking lot and hook the jumper cables up between him and his TR6! CLEAR!!!!! Those high amp alternators are good for something else, eh?
Seriously, Rick, hope yer feelin' better!

Rick, It's probably just cabin fever. Relax, Spring is next Monday and it'll be a short time till you can roll out the 6.

Hey Rick

Get well quick. Hospitals are no fun!

Hope this finds you up and about.

I must be crazy. The first thing I do when I get home from the hospital (besides have a real meal:) is see what I have missed on the BBS. I thought I would post to this thread first.
First off, thank you guys for your kind thoughts. No Don, I am not dying and no you can not have my 6. Get your own 6 going:)
Had an Angiogram and have Angina. Fortunately, no by-pass surgery required and treatable with medication. Needless to say, I have quite smoking. One heck of a wake-up call!
Don E. Yup caught it in time before the big one. Do not let them sell you the LUCAS brand pacemaker. Hope it helps you out and really good to hear you are in remission. Very amazing what they can do these days. Watched the whole procedure.
Henry, I took the lap top to the hospital but they only have wireless for the "walk about" heart monitors and did not really want to interfere with that signal.
Bob E. CDII is finished, It was suppose to be available last week but had a slight change of plans. Keep tuned to this BBS. Oh Ya...no CDIII or IV. Final version is CDII.

Pete You know the way to my home. You are welcome anytime. Not planning to go anywhere for next little while.

Thanks again guys
Rick C
Rick Crawford

I haven't been on the BBS until today for I have also been under the weather. It's good to here that you "caught it in time before the big one".
Take care...

Rick,
Welcome back and thanks for deciding to finally end the smoking habit. It has pained me to think of your beautiful -6 suffering second hand smoke:)

Progress Report...all the outer stuff is in final block primer coat ready for base and clear. I decided to go with Royal Blue and not Sapphire again. Maybe I'll change my mind after I see the color coats, but then again, probably not. It'll have a silver gray stripe where your is red. Haven't addressed the trim/interior/etc. Next is getting the body off the frame and the suspension all dissasembled. This adventure may not be unending after all.

Take care. Glad that you're home.

Doug
Royal...Sapphire, it is all blue to me:)
The silver stripe will go well with the Blue. Doug, the interiour has to be Shadow Blue. I think you are doing just fine on your progress.

Rick Crawford

Rick,
Welcome home. Good to hear that you quit smoking, who needs that anyway when you can breath the fumes from your TR6 when you get a back wind. We knew you would get out soon, all they needed to do was lube you up, rotate your goodies, and grease up your rear end.

Hope to see you soon.
Marcello

Lets not run down Lucas pacemakers too moch, I had one inplanted several weeks ago with no prob.............
Dave

Marcello
I did not ignore your above comment re your dash. We need to set up a Sat or Sun to do this...soon!!
Or even a weekday would be OK for me. You might be doing most of the work..not hard though.
Rick C

Rick
Perhaps it was the seven beers per hour. Glad to hear you are on the mend. Let us know if and when you are out this way again.
Mike & Dennis
Mike Crane

Mike good to hear from you. No not the seven beer but the few breaks I took for a smoke and the fried food I ate.
Most deffinitely look you up. Thanks again for your hospitality.
Rick
PS the CDs I gave you are virtually the same as the new thread here mentioning it.
You might want to consider getting the TR RegisterCD.rar.
Rick Crawford

Nice to see you posting again, Rick! The lean mean version (Rick 2.0?) will be motoring around normally again soon, I'm sure.

For some reason I hear the Red Green club motto here:

I'm a man and I can change...if I have to..I guess.

I always understood that to be change for our wives, but there are a few motivators besides the molcajete alongside the head "conk!" that make us decide to take a different fork in the road. I'm real glad to hear there were no serious crashes along your way.
Tom

Rick,

Glad to hear you are back. Been off the BBS recently as not in front of my usual computer and was not able to find the site.

Take care and hope to rn into you at Ancaster,

Len
