I hate going through multiple boxes to find a part


That was starting to put me in a bad mood.

Mine is two part. One, to save time. Two, I can't sell the part if I can't find it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)
Hopefully I'll have enough bins and drawers.

Super In Law (Jack) update.

Everything is going well and on schedule. Spends most of the day in his recliner sitting in the window reading on his tablet.
We've both had a chest cold for a month so he's still pretty weak. But he has just about shook it off ..
Weened off most meds. 1/2 a Warfrin every other day. Primarily post op blood clot safety. Probably 120 days.

All is good. I don't see any issues with attending WCR.

Good to hear that about Jack.
I'm sure after Super Bowl Sunday, he'll be off and running. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

I figured it was time for a update on Super In Law (Jack).
As far as I'm concerned its going to slow. But he's sharp as a tack, but moving pretty slow. Down to only Warfarin twice a week (post op safety).
Problem has been low blood pressure and too high of heart rate. Kind of tough to med that.
But yesterday they do an EKG. Whats happening is, his heart is double pumping which creates the high rate numbers, Plus it doesn't fill the valves all the way which is causing the lack of energy and breath. Hopefully we're on to something. Cardilogist appointment got moved next week, was end of April.
He's pretty excited that found they something.
But I get home from Forest Grove late and we watched 3 episodes of GunSmoke. For you whipper snappers, thats Marshall Dillon. At one time the longest running TV show, twenty years.

Thanks for the update. Hopefully the cardiologist will have some answers. And let's not forget Festus and Miss Kitty!

I've been a little quiet. Jack is progressing on schedule. Seems awful slow to me.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
New cardiologist switched from Warfarin to Eliquis. It's finally lowering his heart rate.
Because of his good progress he went in today some scope work. They went and looked at the valves is his heart. We didn't have an OMG moment. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
If he had no issues or clots the plan was to zap him to try and get his heart rhythm back on track. We were told they'd try it three times and if didn't work they'd have to stop.
Train was back on the track after one zap ...................

Why do I think of the old Frankenstein movies when I hear about Jack's heart being zapped?
Good to hear he's getting better slowly.
Yep, need to get the workforce at MiddleMotors up to full power again.

You got that right ..............
Need to get our engine test stand built and functional. Then on to the fixtures for the frame bench. He'll be busy.

Side note ........... his appetite came back in a big way this am.

Appetite has been the scary part. He's lost 50 pounds. He's at his high school graduation weight. We'll call it Minnesota farm boy skinny.
Sounds like he's ready for pie , ice cream and candy bars .......... Yeah baby.

Big day today. I asked Jack if he wanted to ride out to Forest Grove tomorrow (today) night after I get off from at Rothsport while I grab a sleeping bag and tent for Mexico.Surprisingly he said yes. Hasn't really been for going anywhere but church and doctor appointments.

2018 Mexican 1000 Update :

Cars are just about ready for Baja. A little set back yesterday. While Jeff was dialing in the new JRI off road shocks he/we found the right rear trailing arm took a big hit last year and was tweaked, so out it came. So I had to build up another spare. Which is what I'm working on now, loading the spare parts and supply totes.

Not much has been posted on the modifications to the cars., but they should be shortly. After Jeff shares with the rest of the world I'll post a few pictures.
#rothsport_racing
The trip and race I'll chronicle on my Instagram page. #MiddleMotors

The modifications are bitch'n. Hoping to cut 4 hours off our time and win our class.

Don't know anything about the Scrambler. But the 57 Chevy is an off road monster.

Kicks our ass on the creepy crawler stuff. But on the lake beds the 330 HP in the RS 3.6 goes by every one like the glued to the sand. 135mph top speed.

We returned from Baja with the 1st place trophy. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
Cameron and Eric Healy took 1st place in Vintage Production class. He shaved 5 hours off last years time. I'm a happy camper. He has little or no damage to the car.
Our redesign of the suspension and tub lifted off the silt and allowed Cameron to put the hammer down.But I can't touch the car. It's going on display as raced at the Porsche Exhibit at the World of Speed in Wilsonville Oregon for 6 months.

Attached Image

Here's my work for today. Unloading all the supply and parts totes. Clean and re pack for storage and quick retrieval when needed.

Attached Image

Hopefully I'll be back on Matt's Microsquirt on Thurday.

Oh yeah, we added a Humvee to the race team for on course repairs. Dakar style.
It preformed flawlessly. Didn't need to help Cameron and the Desert Flyer. Jeff Red Sled, thats a long story.
