I visited with his dad Mark (LivRat) this weekend. He is a great guy and showed me some pics of Micah at his 30th. Dude is going to need our help to get through this...they are all a little scared. Mark also showed me some pics of the great trucks he built in the past...if you remember the metallic gray extended cab I posted a picture of...Mark built it! Awesome! Anyway I was going to suggest that we have all pray for him enmasse on Wed morning. I have been including him my prayers daily...but if all go for it on Wednesday I am sure it will help immensely. Those that don't pray or believe just pause for a moment Wed morning and send some positive energy his way!!! These are two great 67-72 truck guys and they need our help. Mark will be flying from Seattle to tomorrow to be there for the operation.

My e-mail will be on its way! When I was about 8 - 10 years old I had to have hip surgery which left me in a body cast from my upper chest to my knees for 2 months. One of my relatives did a card drive for me and it was amazing how many people I recieved cards from. Even at that young age it was uplifting!!

Good luck Micah.

Good Luck Man! Are you at the Mayo still? If so you are in really good hands up there. I think I've told you this before but 8 years ago both my Mom AND my little sister were up there at the Mayo BOTH with Brain Tumors. Piece of Cake. You will do great. If you do good tomorrow, Steak Dinner on me next winter when I head down to Yuma.

Later Man,

Wild
