[QUOTE="VelocityYellowRules!, post: 114078, member: 1318"] Good morning Riley, How nice to hear from you regardless of the circumstances! While I'd be lying if I said that I wouldn't envy my neighbours automatic vs. my questionable manual shifting I only have at the most two shifts to make and only one which is challenging for me. I think I need to slow it down as the natural tendency for the gear shift is to go into the position right below 3rd from 2nd. When I leave 2nd in a hurry it seems I go just a bit too far to my right and into 5th instead. But I also am sort of secretly confident that once I make my shift and get on the throttle, well once it start to go about 3,000 rpm that is when the fun begins! It is funny how I end up back in this situation with cancer once again. Part of me can accept it from the perspective of knowing that I shouldn't have beaten cancer the first time out. I think that otherwise I'd thank God for the extra 10 years I got and that my life has run its course but the problem is that the past 6 or so years have been the best of my life in all other measureable ways and I don't want that streak to end just yet (no C8 available to buy!). Plus dad is retiring and so I'm going to be able to rent his land, 1/2 of it in 2018 and the other 1/2 if I want in 2019. Thus I'll be able to start pigeonholing funds for a possible C8 purchase! So a worsening cancer situation is just poorly timed for me in my life plan. I'm hoping that the next week won't be too bad. At least I can see the 20th arriving whereas 10 days ago it seemed like an eternity. I'll go a day early, do some shopping and enjoy a change of pace. One plus, I finally started running again, daily, since I returned from Europe. I started with my 1st 1 km and the 1st 1 km and last 1 km and now I've added the middle 1 km so I'm ramping up slowly. I did run a 7 km non-stop on the weekend and the pace was not blistering but considering I've been slacking on my running I was happy. But more important for me is to not push too hard to I either hurt myself or don't want to do it. If I just keep adding a km here and there then I can build up my endurance slowly and soon I can think about racing again - just as the season comes to an end anyway!!! Thanks for the positive thoughts and I will be passing on the results, good, bad or otherwise. And if they need the tumors to monitor things, I suppose I'll just have to suck it up and get a perverse thrill from watching them disappear! Garry [/QUOTE]
