Hi Bruce and all, I'm glad to hear you up and around again after your hospital stay.
Mention was made about your facing thyroid surgery and I thought I would let you know of my experience with thyroid which went very well. I have a lump on my thyroid and about 20 years ago, I was given the choice of surgery, doing nothing (I don't recommend that) or taking an Armour thyroid pill for the rest of my life which I decided to do as I didn't want to go through surgery. I just recently went in for what I jokingly call my Annual Choking session as my doctor has to really squeeze to check on it as every year it has shrunk. This time it hadn't really shrunk, but it hasn't grown either and I don't have any problems from using the thyroid pill. At first he recommended Synthroid and I was on it for a year or so, but I heard that using the Synthroid had some side effects and decided to go with Armour Thyroid instead and have no regrets over the decision. I know this isn't directly related to EV's and I don't want to abuse the list, yet if helps you or anyone else on the list with a similar issue, I will take my chances on it. On a direct note, I have lurked and dreamed of my own EV for a long time and it is actually taking shape. It will be an S-10 based EV with some custom work on it as I decided to take and extended cab and put a long bed behind it which GM never did. I am in the paint stage as I took it down to bare metal for most of it and am now almost ready to start to put the cab and all body parts back on the chassis. Every summer, I have kept hoping that this summer it might actually be driven. This summer is no exception, but I might actually get it assembled, driven and take it down to the DMV for inspection as it has had some changes made the involve chassis numbers from about 3 different S-10's. I have thought of names for it and the only thing that comes to mind is Ol Blue. It will be blue in color and very much an amateur paint job as I had to make a choice last summer of a professional paint job, or a lithium battery pack and the pack won out. It will be on the small side as far as a lithium battery pack goes, but I am hoping it will give at least as much range as a lead acid pack would have and about a quarter of the weight of the lead acid pack. Well, that is all for now and will give updates later as I get closer. Best wishes to Bruce as you get back in the swing of things. Daniel Eyk Vancouver, Wa.

If by chance you do have to have the thyroid surgery and end up with a scar on your throat I will buy you a couple of turtle neck shirts. There is makeup that will cover a lot of things and you might look good wearing an ascot. Unless you are planning to audition for a position as a Chippendale dancer you should not be concerned about this issue.
