Jcap back in hospital
 

Someone called jims cell today to let him know about a gathering, thanks for thinking of him

Jim is again battling cancer. After a healthy summer his cancer is back. He is in SloanKettering Cancer Center in Manhatten, and tomorrow 1/24 he is having a radical prostatectomy to again try to stop the spread of cancer. This will be the third time they are telling him to get his affairs in order. Jim keeps telling them there is too much boating still to do. He wont stop fighting. He often talks of his "Super" friends and his friends from OPA racing. They wouldnt let him have a laptop so no internet access but hopefully he will be home soon to tell lies about his new scars.

Re: Jcap back in hospital
 

I don't know you Jim, but I believe you can do it. I've witnessed it before, I have faith in you. Brett-bo

Hey guys ,
Im doing pretty well, been 2 weeks since operation and I am getting stronger everyday. Most of my pathology reports have been good.

I am thinking of spring! I am still kicking around the idea of an arneson surface drive, maybe Rick can get me an approx cost to fill in the notch?

jcap, glad to see your up and about, Goodspeed on your recorvey. As for the Arneson drive I wanted that from the get go, I was looking into it during the summer, if I remember correctly I think 20k was the number.

Hey Jcap,
Don't take your boat apart now, wait until next Fall. We've got to do a Claudio's Run this coming May...:D
I thought you were thinking of mounting that Arneson on your U-19?:eek:
Stay Strong Jim...:cool:

Glad your feeling better Jim, Mondday I'll go over it with bob, and I'll get back to you. Spring is just around the corner !!

Jim its good to see your thinking of working on the boat. its a good sign of you feeling better. I have to go down to the shop and see Rick this week about my hatch, if you want ill come over and get you and we could both discuss or plan together. Jim who does all your rigging ?

All the best to you Jim .
See you in October on the CT River .
