[QUOTE="VelocityYellowRules!, post: 95098, member: 1318"] It was such a beautiful day yesterday. So as rain was cancelled I took the Z06, topped up the methanol tank - you just never know after all! Unknown to most of you one of the activities I engaged in when I was in Breslau when I was testing the Z06 was going around looking for Pokemon cards for my son through Kijiji. I picked up more in Edmonton a few weeks ago as after a two year hiatus my son was back into them again. As it turned out, before leaving I just happen to look again and there was a collection of 5000 cards plus 30 of the much valued EX cards for sale in Clairmont, a town right before GP. So I drove around and discovered that I'd gotten the address wrong (dyslexia reared its' ugly head). Of course I have no smart phone so I went to the car wash and the lady there was nice enough to look up the ad for me - I had 9760-120 Ave. and it was 7906 102 Ave.! While driving around I saw a very nice sort of caramel Stingray, the early 1970's with the recessed back window that I find attractive. The kid with the cards was sort of an interesting experience, his father answered the door and told me son had Asperger's. He was about 14 but very nice and I was just interested in verifying that there were 30 EX cards and gave him his asking price. It turned out after I got home there were actually 63 EX cards including 6 or 7 of the highly prized MEGA EX cards so I suspect my son will be very excited. At the moment though he is working his way though a "Booster Box" of 36 10 cards packs that I bought for him for winning his grades Advanced Reading program for the 3rd year. He gets one pack to open each day we go and exercise together so it is a win-win-win situation..................... So, yesterday's meeting with the pre op nurse................. Well, it is for the most part pretty straight forward. On the morning of the surgery (looks like 7 am this Monday) they will inject in four or more spots around where the tumor was removed a radioactive dye. This will slowly move into the lymph node system there. After a few hours they will then put me under and inject a blue dye that will also show them the pathway to the sentinel node. So they'll remove and elliptical area of skin around the tumor some 6 to 7 " long and about 2" wide in the middle. Then poke in a geiger counter and see where the sentinel nodes are and pluck out a couple for testing. Testing could take up to two weeks, a bit longer than I thought and I hope it will be sooner than that. If there is no cancer found that it is all that goes on. If there is cancer then I will have subsequent surgery/possibly radiation depending on where the lymph nodes are and then that will hopefully be that. One line of thinking I'd been having that turned out to be wrong.

However, I am still going to be positive in that the surgeon was unable to find any evidence of any swollen lymph nodes in my arm when he examined me and if there were none there then it should not have gone any further. Or that is my minds position and I'm going to run with this for the time being!!!! Crops look great, some wheat starting to lodge which is too bad but overall great growing conditions. And oh ya, on the Z06 front, while there was a thread on fuel economy of C7 Z06's, I did record some numbers, and while this may have included some extended duration, back road buck fifty driving (read almost steady) over the 360 km I measured the fuel used, I still managed 25.6 mpg which I have to say is pretty amazing. Gotta love those LS7! Cheers, Garry [/QUOTE]
