Sepsis is no joke. I’m glad you’re on the path to recovery. Many people die from that. Best wishes.

Thanks. I never want to have it again, it was worse than any cancer I had. I felt like I got hit by a truck. I had no idea you could have a fever like that either, I kinda thought my thermometer was just acting up, it wasn’t.

Little victories. Got the gas pump mounted outside. Been sitting inside for the last 6 months, and our ATM (we’re cash only!) is getting installed next week right where I had the pump sitting.
My son Matt, who is managing the diner, graduated HS last night, so I had my muscle head sons in one place at the same time. I asked if they could please install this today so the old man can take it easy. Dr.’s orders!
Oh, my wife ordered the sign. I think it needs to be at least 2-3x the current size. It’s lit up at night, but comically small. Another little project.

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
