Fractured Finger, Keyboard Crippled

I haven't posted here much lately but wanted to pop in and say hello and share a minor but irritating personal mishap. Last week I tripped over a short ladder in my garage and came down in 4th finger on right hand. I ended up dislodging my last 2 digits of finger and shoving it under the first digit. It looked CRAZY. I went to hospital and they X-rayed and reset the finger and set in place with a splint. They also said I have a minor fracture.

During all of this, even the resetting there was not much pain, but I am an old school finger keyboard typist and it is crazy how long it takes me to type even this short message. The good news is I am left handed but who "writes" anymore?!

I have also had to shelve my work on the next newsletter which I had just started really getting into.

The good news is we can still Zoom this Sunday!

Anyway, it was not a major medical problem, but thought I would share. Hope you are all doing well!

Jason,

Sorry to hear about the finger injury. Hopefully it will heal soon so you can get back to working on your Caddy. I'm also left handed, so better it happened on the right. Hope you feel OK.

Thanks. I have figured out how to do everything from post hole digging to lugging parts around one handed but I will be glad to get that finger back for typing!

1963 RHS A/C kick panel - photos needed

Posted by SK on June 2, 2025 at 2:20pm 2 Comments 0 Likes

Could someone post front and back photos of the 1963 right-hand kick panel with A/C?

My car didn’t come with the original kick panels, so it's a bit of a mystery to me how I should cut the backing board and carpet to fit around the A/C.

Many thanks,
