For those that wish to post a "Get Well Soon" message to Grumpy

A few people have been asking "What's happened to Grumpy". Bruce went to the hospital a couple of weeks and though it was suppose to be only for a few days, it has been much longer.

I haven't heard if or when Bruce will be back with us, but for all you that would like to post a "Get Well Soon" message to Bruce, please post here.

And, when Bruce gets back, he can read it and then complain about the "non-tech" post.

I knew it wasn't like him not to answer and provide responses.
He's been a great source of information. Almost singlehandedly, Bruce has been the guy to help bring respectability to the TBI motor. Please get well soon.


Your TBI Disciple,

Dominic

Grumpy, get well soon! There's never enough grumpy people in the world! (Don't you just hate a bright cheery "Good morning!" and a smile in the a.m.?!?!)

One can only wish that the doctors at the hospital share your same enthusiasm and expertise in what they do best, and that the nurses always select the vertical mount temperature sensor!

Hey Grumpy, This didn't have anything to do with a faulty wb O2 sensor did it? Looks like you've got some friends praying for you, count me in too.

Get well soon!!!!!

Bruce/Grumpy

I've talked to Bruce a couple of times in the last few days. He's doing fine. They are trying to balance his med's to stop a rapid heart beat. Sounds like they are narrowing in on it, but neither he nor the doctors want him to leave until they are done.

He's anxious to get back. He hopes to make bail in the next day or so.

Terry

Hummm, sounds like his VE tables are off. Well, if they get that right we'll work on his Spark Advance when he gets back!

Get well soon!

Bruce,
Sounds like you need to go one step richer on the main fuel jets.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery.
Hope you are soon back to your Grumpy self!
We all miss your sage advice.

Yes Grumpy, do get well soon. But not too soon, just take your time and follow the Doc's advice. You probably needed some downtime anyways.

I always look forward to your responses on this board. Keep up the good work.

Godspeed.

Mike

This is not too far off, he usually does, which was my concern. He is just WAY to quiet. Made me think that he was either not feeling well or waiting to pounce, he did not get the name Grumpy for nothing you know, LOL

I was having some heart problems, didn't know it till I got to the Docs, just for no reason passed out a few times. Turns out my pulse was jumping to 260 beats per min., then instantly dropping back to 70, and with the sudden change, I'd pass out.

Got two things to say:

1) Never wake up during a major organ transplant surgery, 2),
If you're the one laying down, and some one mentions defibulator, and says clear, your about to get a jolt like you can't imagine. 200 Joules thur the chest will get your atttention.......

Oh, and recovering from having them *rewire* your heart nerves is a PITA.

OK, now back to EFI content <g>

Thanks much!!.

...........WELCOME HOME GRUMPY ..........

As all have said before, we missed you and we're glad your out of the hospital and at home where we can take care of you better. I think with all the knowledge on this board it may be time to start a new one ( DIY pace-maker or any other ecm controlled body part ). I too am glad to see you behind the keyboard again.

Steve

I hope everything is all right now and will continue to be in the future. I spent 3 weeks at the Ottawa Heart Institute when I was 21. There is nothing like having a doctor tell you that your heart does not work properly. I had to stay awake for most of my "procedures" *shudders* all though none of them involved "the paddles"
