For anyone wondering where the hell I've been lately: our greyhound (the unofficial mascot of EVOLV-Chicago) was diagnosed with osteosarcoma (bone cancer). He had his rear leg amputated and is currently undergoing chemo. He's doing really well! Still faster than I am even with only three legs. Until his amp is completely healed, he needs constant monitoring to prevent licking and reopening the incision. Guess what I've been doing for the past 3 weeks?? It's crazy and I've got cabin fever BIG TIME!
So all you going to the meet tonight ... have a drink for the pup. Just one per person, or he'll be puking all over
No one needs a three-legged drunk dog 
He'll be back to stealing carz shortly, I'm sure!!

Update on my 8 - needed a new starter (covered by my extended warranty - they even covered most of my tow) I put in a new battery, bought new plugs, and now it runs like a charm. Let me say a public big THANK YOU to Nick Ring (aka lilring) who took care of getting the plugs in on Friday with me. Nick is a great guy and saved me some $$ - hopefully I can repay him with a hardwire radar install sometime. Thanks again, Nick.

QFT.
Who's got ideas for another meet?
I've got a few:
Famous Dave's
1101 East Dundee Road
Palatine, IL 60067
California Pizza Kitchen
20502 North Rand Road
Deer Park, IL 60010
Both of those are pretty much right off of 53.
I think a ribs thing like Famous Dave's would be awesome. Gotta get me some of that memphis style dry-rub.
CPK is a bit more expensive (about $15/person + drink) ut I've never had bad service there. Getting in may be some kind of hassle due to the popularity but wouldn't be too bad on a monday or friday night. Especially monday.
anyone care to set a date?

Hey guys, anyone want to help this member out.
He lives in Seattle and would like a member to check out an 8 in Oak lawn. I would but Im up in the Gurnee area, too far of a drive for me.
Heres the thread, we should help this member out IMO.
