My wife and I just returned from visting Big Al in the hospital. Al had  what is called a transient ischemic attack a brief period of lack of blood flow to an area of the brain <---I hope I got that right  Undecided  . The good news is Al's going to be OK and will be getting out of the hospital sometime tonight ( we hope ). He just needs to do what all of us need to do as the years roll by on us and thats take better care of his self. I told Al about all y'all sending thoughts and prayers his way and he really appreciated it. He should be reading them tomorrow from the comfort of home. Thanks folks for thinking of my friend  cooldude   If you see this Al...Ride On my brother.

Take care Big Al, hope you feel better soon, were all pulling for you....I just had a talk with the Big Man upstairs. Having a wing man like Mr. May is always a good thing, it's nice to have a friend looking out for you. Thanks Joe, and take care of yourself too.

TIA's are serious but the good news is that they're not permanent.  Just a warning that something needs to be done.  I'm sure that the docs are doing what needs to be done.

Good news indeed!  Get back to riding Big Al. cooldude

Great news, Big Al!  Does this mean no more drinking hot sauce?  Was it related to your riding a motorcycle made in Milwaukee?

Great news  cooldude  I had the pleasure of meeting both Smokin Joe and Big Al down in WVA this past summer.  I still appreciate Big Al lending a hand changing out my rear tire.  Definitely some real good folks!  Take it easy Big Al and follow the doctors orders  police
Thanks again for the update Joe.
