Jeremy Knezek called me and offered to help but we needed a location. Jim Croc finally called and said the hissing was coming from the booster. I told him we needed to know where he was. Jeremy was going to drive over and see things first hand. Jim said he didn't know but there was an Exotic Wings across the street and he was at a Shell station. I asked if he could walk to the Shell station and ask the street number and exit off I65. He said he would and call me back. I was thinking while waiting for him to call back (8:45) and googled "Exotic Wings" and got the map, found the Shell station across the street and called. I asked the guy who answered if there was an older fellow in an older motorhome in his parking lot. He said yes and I got his address and exit. I then asked if the guy had asked him for their address. He said yes but he had gone back to the motorhome. I've had no calls from Jim and my calls to him go to VM so I don't know if his phone is dead or if he's gone to bed.
In the meantime, Jeremy and I have been talking. Jeremy offered to drive 25 minutes to do a face to face but not unless he knew the guy was expecting him. I don't blame him. Jeremy has to be away tomorrow and I asked if he would leave a message for Mark Creel who is the only guy in Bham who MIGHT have a booster and know how to install it.
Jeremy called back and said that his call to Jim also went to VM but that to his surprise Mark Creel answered his shop phone at 9:30 on a Saturday night. Mark said he had some boosters and would call Jim in the morning and make arrangements to get him going. Hopefully all this will work out and Jim can get back on the road to Chicago. Apparently, he has had 6 back surgeries, is out of medication, and has a doctors appointment he needs to get back for.
