Good to hear that it's nothing serious.
Though I've never met him, he's on my short list of people I would like to meet some time in the future.... 
Hope everything heals up extra fast

Apperently I'm going to live. I store some parts on top of my engine room and I was up there looking for them. I took a step and through the celling I went. On the way down one of my feet hit a desk and flippped me sideways. I hit an engine stand on the middle if my spine and landed on a 289 head that was standing on the floors with my right side rib cage. As I layed there I thought that my back was broken. The paramedics also thought my back was broken and took proper precoutions and got me to the hospital. After the x-rays and cat scans, an amazed doctor came in and told me nothing was broken and no internal bleeding. So they shot me full of demeral and sent me home. It still hurts like hell but that should go away in a week or so. Thanks for the concern, it nice to know I have a lot of friends out there.

Gordon, great to hear you're ok. Probably lucking none of those parts followed you down too. I guess next time you'll have one of the hired hands get up there!
Take'er easy and stay right side up! |

Jesus, Gordon! -
It's bad enough falling 10 feet - but collecting all those parts on your way to the floor is not a good deal!!
I'm glad to hear you're OK - I still want to talk about a GT40.

OUCH!!!!!
Gordon,
I winced and cringed as I read what happened. Sounds like something I would do! 
Glad to hear you will recover fully so as to get a little more track time in. Guess you won't be riding in any Kirkey seats for some time though.
Speed Recovery and enjoy the down time. Make sure you're waited on hand and foot.
JM
