That's good to hear it's on it's way. Sorry to hear about your pull over. At least you can get it fixed relatively quickly.

Thanks, the knee actually feels better now, than 4 months ago when this happened. I was having sciatic nerve pain at first radiating from knee to butt, for a few months, then over night it switched from the knee down to the base of my heel, where it felt like a nail was in my foot. Took some Arnica for a few days by recogmendation of coworkers and it all went away! Now it just hurts when I over do it, or push the truck around too much.
I got a call from the Muffler guy, he got it all done yesterday, came at budget, even though he did a few mods! Great guy, if anyone local needs a custom exhaust his name is Kelly, and he owns the Muffler works in Petaluma.
Now the truck is on it's way to friend Randy's shop, who runs a smog and tow business, but is also an excellent mechanic, and ex dirt track racer here in town. He's going to fine tune the engine, check and adjust the transmission, and then if I have any money left, fine tune the brakes! Hopefully when it gets back home I'll be able to drive it into the garage, and avoid any pushing ever again!
Meanwhile my driveway has overgrown with shrubs, making it very difficult not to scratch the truck going from garage to street, so I'll be hacking away the greenery this weekend to make the driveway useful again!

Since I can't work on anything but the computer, thought I'd post before and after shots of the driveway now that it's a little wider!
Here are some before and after shots. I think I gained over three feet in width in a few areas. Really glad I did this before knee surgery!
