Maintenance Report: Blog Functioning Again

This blog is currently having its gaskets replaced and an aortic stent installed. The mechanic says this should take between 7 days and 6 months. Will report back when formal estimate is received.

Update, 2/10/09: Happily, I was able to find a single professional who could handle both piston gasket replacement and aortic stent installation.  The only guy I could find with certifications from the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence and  the American Board of Thoracic Surgery. Had to schelp out to Hancock, Maryland, though.

For $1,500 he was willing to do both operations and rotate my tires. I think that’s a good deal.

But the important thing is, the blog is back and functioning. It may blow some smoke for awhile, but it should work itself out.
