Been a sad day here, my 10 year old tomcat was having trouble breathing this evening when I came up from the garage and passed away on the trip to the emergency vet clinic. Vet said it was probably heart disease complicated by blood clots, and probably a pulmonary embolism. He was pretty fat, I've been struggling to keep him under 18 pounds the whole time I've had him. Inherited him and three other cats from a friend who passed away suddenly six years ago. I still expected him to last a while longer, clean bill of health last regular visit to the vet.
And on top of that, my friend Hans Benden passed away from cancer a couple weeks ago, my brother just found out. He was my source for all things Benz, since he graduated from the Mercedes Benz school in Dusseldorf in the early 60's. He had stopped working on cars except for a few friends, but still got us parts at VERY reasonable cost and provided endless advice. A very good friend, of the best kind, and his widow said he really enjoyed me and my brother, sharing car stories and my brother did quite a bit of work for him. Reminds me that I'm old.
