his list of problem is incredible

incurable blood disease that enlarges the spleen. spleen can't be removed because the blood disease would kill him. when he was diagnosed with it the doctors said he should be dead within 3 years. that was like 7 years ago.

has diabetes about as a person can have it. its causing him to go blind. so he gets shots into his eyes pretty often. pretty sure this is causing the stokes, too.

his blood pressure is off the charts non stop.

he's had over 20 strokes.

has had bells palsy. lost entire function of one side of his body. looked like a god damn zombie for a while there.

he had an awful case of vertigo not too long ago that. he was driving when it happened. managed to get back to his shop and then stepped out of the truck and just vomited non stop for a while. was taken to the hospital where he couldn't stand up for a couple of days. thankfully that hasn't come back again.

who knows what else. he keeps on ticking though. best dude.

Michelle and I were there back in 2007. We had no idea that was going on. We were there for half of "white" bike week, and half of "black" bike week. Honestly, both were pretty damn scary- especially if you just want some peace and quiet.

It's not so bad during the day- they're not around as much. What we ended up doing was going to Broadway on the Beach or Barefoot Landing after 4:00.

Still, trying to walk across the street while 400 guys who all look like either Hacksaw Jim Duggan or Zeus wanting an excuse to hit you with their large motor machines isn't fun.
