Talking Im going in GMHTP

For anyone who cares....Got a call from Rick Jenson yesterday to finalize the interview for the article and he said my SS is gonna be in the November issue of GM High-Tech Performance and a very good chance its gonna make the cover. i just wanted to tell you guys since im so happy. Its a dream come true for me so i just had to share
BTW,(dunno if ive told you guys yet) im healing pretty good from my back surgery. The 8in titanium rod & 6 screws have straightened out my spine. The doc says that i should be well enough to do normal activites and come out of my brace in the next 6-8weeks with some limitations of course. Hope to see you guys at MMP soon

Congrats!! I'll be looking for it when I get it from the mailbox!! Good to hear you're healing also. My wife has had back problems in the past too, so I know you're in some pain.

That was us, just a little harder then normal to get the Huggers in Birmingham together. We can try again for a later date if you want.

Wicked_Hugger99 is my brother in law. He just recently moved to a new house and I have not yet gotten thier computers hooked back up yet. I just saw the magazine last night. It was sent to his old address by mistake. For those of you who subscribe to GM HighTech Performance, I thought they did a fantastic job on the article and the photos. They have not reached newstands here in south alabama yet but we are watching out for them.
