Hallo folks!

It's been a while and for anyone who's been curious about how Roberta and I have been doing, I figured I'd send an update.

Since the Jimmy V autocross where y'all saw us last, Roberta finished chemo treatments and has been building back strength since. We're back up to being able to hike 3 miles :-D

Thanks for all of your well wishes and thoughts. Not sure what else to say other than that we're happy we've come through it and look forward to getting better & better.

We bought a house at the top of a hill with some land. Here's the view:

Only problem with that was the road. It's dirt/gravel. I drove the corvette up to the house one time... the trip up the hill was ok. The trip down... well, with the front suspension loaded, the air dam hit rocks and sent them pinging between the body and ground all the way to the back of the car. Not cool

So I traded it for one of these that would like the road much better (not a pic of my actual car -- merely for example):

Not an STI in case you're wondering. Yes I know I'm going to get flamed for that. Preemptive raspberry for flamers: :-P

So I've got a set of 4 older c6 corvette rims for sale that are really dinged up but never used by me...

I'm planning to run with BRR SCCA some this season and hopefully make it out to a few Tarheel events. Still interested in teaching Novice School since that's a blast.

I hope you folks are all well! Take it easy...

Still nothing, looks like a permissions issue when I pull the link out and stick it in another browser window I get a 403 back.

Glad to hear you guys are doing good and that you are getting out in the air. 3 miles of walking can be rough even without chemo. As I am at work, none of the pics show for me, dumb proxies....

WOW looks great and even better news re: Roberta :sing:

Wish I could walk 3 miles. We miss you and hope to see you some this year
