    Just adding my thoughts and prayers to you, Jon.

    Hopefully resting now, from the eye surgery.

    Thanks also to all the "locals" that are keeping an eye on our Jail Bird.
    :D :D

    Got to head back to San Diego for some work and had lunch with fish tacos with Jon. It's always great discussions with him. Today it was Panerai, our new garage, and future car adds among other cool topics. We are now catching up watching the China F1 race he dvr'd. He had not seen the race yet. I won't spoil it for him. Forza Ferrari.

    To add to other offered quotes, I've always liked:

    "Let me tell you the secret that has led me to my goal: my strength lies solely in my tenacity."
    - Louis Pasteur.​

    All the best,
    Andrew.

    Thank you.

    Supposed to have eye surgery in the near future to correct for an injured cranial nerve, but no other real progress or setbacks.

    yes, I know what (probably) you are thinking: I cannot drive anymore a Porsche or a Ferrari, so for me it's sad to talk about them.

    Let me say that, first, this may change in the future: the hope never dies. And then, in any case, you can be the passenger/co-pilot (correct?). I'm sure that everyone here would be very pleased to have you as a coequipier at a car meeting. If you will visit Italy, you will be mine.

    ciao

    Keep recovering Jon. I think I can speak for all of us in saying we are glad to see your updates so keep them coming. Your presence is missed and cannot be filled.

    update with the legal proceedings: Felony Jury Trial scheduled for Sep 22 2017 9:00AM at the San Diego Superior Court, Central Division, County Courthouse in Department 11.

    The 22nd is a Friday, most places do this on a Monday. I'm not sure how their trial calendar works but they will likely have a list of trials up for call that day/week, and everyone normally has no idea where in the pile your trial is located. I expect the following week or week after things will get underway.

    I am interesting in seeing the direction the jurors go for this as the San Diego civil venues are more plntf oriented (liberal). With this being criminal in a venue which by a significant majority supported legalization of marijuana, it gives me pause how significantly they may lay the paddle. Prosecution is working a 2nd degree murder charge which I hope sticks with the maximum sentence and provides CA with some basis for which that ridiculous legalization law can be repealed. It was called out by many to cause more problems then it would solve, which is certainly is causing.

    Thanks, no real news. I may be relocating to Ohio to get medical attention there (family still lives east of Cleveland.) Eye surgery needs to be rescheduled.

    I do have a new folding aluminum-framed motorized wheelchair with alloy wheels and a decent top speed. Need to find a good detailer, though. I am using a quad cane in the house, slowly and carefully.

    Are the shields on that wheelchair factory or just some fancy acrylic things? ;)

    Keep up the good work!

    Trading San Diego for Ohio is a bummer for sure .. necessity at the moment but like everything, just temporary. Keep up the fight, you are stronger than you know.

    Have been following your progress from afar...

    You have been in our prayers and I am glad to see you are back here and even more importantly back "with us" if you will.

    Let me know if there is a good time to call, and I will ring you.

    Also, being a native Buckeye, I take offense at those not giving Ohio proper credit...LOL.

    Warmest Regards,
