Too bad you could not go for a little ride, even if just around the block.
Next spring, maybe a chance to even drive it a bit.

Re: Who is Manny Kourounis?
Jim, thank you for posting that Manny is legitimate. He almost never posts anything and I am concerned how Steve or any member of his family would be able to receive any GoFundMe donations if Manny is in NY and Steve and family are all out west. I do not know how GoFundMe distributes the money colle...

Who is Manny Kourounis?
It seems he set up Steve's GoFundme acct and then disappeared. Is Steve the only person who can access the acct or does his brother or other relations have access?

Steve's GoFund me acct
I dont know who is in charge. I wish someone could contact the family and if someone from the Parker clan is hesitating to visit Steve due to cost, let them have some funding. I think one of the best things Steve could have to help with recovery is a visit from family. 10 of us could visit, but it i...

Steve Jelf - Good News - 11/5
I had a nice chat with the nurse today. She told me that Steve has been moved to room 908, which is still an ICU bed. His Covid test is negative at this time. He is slowly improving and can accept visitors, but you might catch him taking a long nap, so maybe not worth to visit. Apparently he was wat...

Re: What did you do to your Model T in November?
My T was complaining it was being pulled by a senior citizen, a 2011 Explorer. She is happier now since she will now be following a 2023 AWD Maverick. I called a dealership. They got one in the day before. I drove up and looked at it. The next day it was delivered. Everyone I know keeps saying they ...

I think the metal piece that wraps around the steering column shrinks when it is taken apart. At least I know mine did. There is no way it will ever fit on the steering column again, unless a genie puts it there. I just say 'Honk Honk'.

Steve has been moved back to ICU due to breathing issues. He is not on a ventilator. He is not communicating and mostly asleep. It looks like he will be transferred to a sub acute nursing home for 24 hour care when he becomes more stable. Things continue to change daily, so we will see what happens....

So yesterday the hospital called, and Steve is probably going to get a permanent feeding tube. He has become more agitated and is sleeping most of the time. It appears he may not be able to go back to the rehab center. Hopefully there will be more information tomorrow.

Steve is still recovering from brain surgery. He is breathing well on his own, but remains uncommunicative. Nurse thinks he is improving.
This is a report from one of his relatives as of this afternoon, 10/24.

Molly spoke with the nurse tonite. CT scans are looking good, but he is on a Propofol drip (sedation) as he is not coping well with the intubation and equipment. They will slow down that medication in hopes that he will be less agitated. So it looks like he might bounce back from this setback. Finge...

The race is cheap. When installing a new race, some people place the old race face to face with the new race. This helps to apply pressure evenly so the new race goes in nice n straight.

Until there is a police report, we do not know who is responsible. No one here was a witness, so everything up to now is just speculation. I have not heard of any agent coming out to look at the car yet.

If your exhaust pipe is that long you are allowed to shorten it a bit. Dont want it hanging too far below the axle.

He is eating well and conversing well when he is awake.
Hopefully Molly will find him awake tomorrow.
