Hope all goes well with the surgery for Hannah

Good morning Jim and the rest of the crew!

Survived Itasca this weekend. A lot of trees down in the park. They had major winds and knocked power out from early Thurs morning till almost ten Thursday night. Had to dodge trees biking and driving thru the park but had a great time. Now back to work, blah!

Good morning guys...
Tom - We hope all goes well for Hannah today! Prayers said...
Great looking spot Cory.. Sucks to have to back in from the wrong side though..
Jim - Thanks... I need to get back to work on the GT40 soon. Meanwhile, you can check out some older pictures and such on my website :: http://WWW.GT-Forty.com ... A bit out of date, but most of it is there.
Today I'm going to try and install a backup camera in the Rubicon.. With that big spare tire and the backseat headrests in the way, rearward vision stinks. Jeep never offered the BUC in the Wranglers, but have with other vehicles that had the same Radio / Nav package..

Good morning Randy! There are a lot of campgrounds where you have to blindside in. No big deal though. Just have to be good!

The suspension adjustments must have taken 20 hours. Lot of tedious work. I really like the website, easy to maneuver and find things.

Good afternoon everyone!

Writing this from the OR waiting room. We'll be here at least another couple hours while they work. Kinda stressful over here!

Good evening everyone. Hannah's operation went well, she was in the OR for about three-and-a-half hours. I'll be going back and forth to the house every day watching the boys as needed, and Karri will be staying down there with her until she gets discharged.

She's quite drugged at the moment, but that'll get better as she heals.

Yeah, there's a price to pay to have all those heim joints and adjustability.. Thanks for the kudos on the site.

Tom - We're still praying that Hannah is out of the woods soon.. She has such a strong spirit...

I never made it out to the shop today. I spent most of the day moving my Mom back to her assisted living apartment from the nursing home.
