Well I just got word that my 94 year old grandfather will be having cataract surgery on Monday February 6th. I'm a bit worried 'cause a few years back he suffered a stroke which left him completely blind in one eye. Now, the only good eye he has left is being operated on and needless to say there's a chance he may be left completely blind.

Anyhow, I'm planning to drive down to Miami, FL on Friday (02/03/12) to hang with him and show off my good looks before he undergoes the knife. As of right now, nothing is final but I expect to be pulling into my parents place (in miami) come 0300 hrs on Saturday (02/04/12) and departing at 0400 hrs on Tuesday (02/07/12). If anyones down for getting a mini meet together please let me know as I wouldn't mind getting my mind off things for a while and seeing your ugly muggs. :cigar:

He was the left lane and ours was moving. He had ample amount of time and room to get behind us .
and follow us. We were on a mission.

Will do. Right now I'm a little overwhelmed with running around visiting family and spending time with my grandfather.
