Lego, you may have posted that to amuse us but I assure you that I'm not laughing. Poison oak/ivy is a serious issue. I'm glad you are starting to feel better but I really hate that you are going through this. I feel for you man! Glad you finally got some sleep. I wouldn't worry about the nurse giving you a shot in the ***... I sure she didn't see anyting!

I've been following this thread so I can live vicariously through those that are going. I'm really bummed that I can't make it. Anyway I had to comment on the Poison Ivy issue because I had a really bad experience with it once when I was young and can relate to your suffering. I was helping my dad and others clear some land next to our house which involved buring large piles of brush that included lots of poison ivy. Well it turns out that you can get the stuff from the smoke of burning it. I got into the smoke and I had poison ivy everywhere on my body. And I mean EVERYWHERE. Hope you feel better soon. It really is miserable.

I've been reading a lot about it online. The smoke, if inhaled can even cause the rash in your lungs. If serious, it can cause death. DAMN! I was amazed at that. Eating it is also a bad no no. I installed one hub on the RX-7, but now my left arm is swollen so I'm going to take a break.

my years in the er can give witness. one guy was drunk and passed out while taking a crap in the woods------well need i say more. 
We all had a laugh about that one but only after he started laughing about it.
Oatmeal baths, Lego, oatmeal baths. Remember it spreads under the skin when you scratch.
Dont worry onrails we will raise a glass to all those who are there in spirt but were unable to attend. Next time!

Oh God---its Greek!
Kappa Sig baby!
Mine was Korean.
Putting my ss brake lines on next week and my speedbleeders and doing the flush(clutch too)--seems like I work on this car all the time. It would probably do better if I just left it alone.

I got my Bilstein HD shocks installed at Mazcare yesterday. As usual, I couldn't be more pleased with Charlie and crew.
It is still early to tell on the Bilsteins. The ride is not significantly firmer than stock. I do feel it is more damped than the stock shocks. I'll have a better idea come track time.

I just ordered a couple of stickers for the car. I think they should add like 10 hp.... at least that's what I was told.
I was wondering, if I blurr the stickers and numbers on the car, will it look faster?

maybe not, but if i take your picture, my mad skills will make the photo blurry, or I can photo chop it, make it look really really fast. I could even make the guy in front of you look like he is giving you a point by.

Lego - is all the poision Ivy gone? Can you sleep at night now.
I am in snowy PA this week and as luck would have it they gave me a Mazada 6 for a rental. I have to say that this car is pretty fun to drive. Especially since there is a bunch of white stuff and I don't own the car.

Nope, I hope it'll all be gone by this time next week. I feel a good bit better, but I still have a few spots that are oozing. It has covered both arms from my wrists to the sholder, but now most of the upper arm is healing. Still pretty bad on the forarms though. My left arm is still pretty swollen. The steroids make it almost feel like it's going to pop.
It almost looks like a 2nd degree burn as several layers of skin have been removed in certain spots. Not pretty. My wife won't even sleep in the same bed as me so I've been demoted to the guest bedroom.
This sucks... still....
