I'm not convinced. Perhaps there was a detonation that cracked the piston, but usually it's a lean condition th...

Re: Goodbye Faithful...

Pat is in San Antonio, at his sisters home. He's still quite alert, but has trouble communicating. He can think the thoughts, but can't get them to go from his head to his fingers to the keyboard.

He's still reading the board twice each day, and enjoys seeing the posts.
