Nothing yet. Just kinda hanging around. He is a tough old man. 
I am heading over in the morning. I did call and my mom held the phone up so I could say goodbye and tell him I love him. My mom said he opened his eyes and smiled. He hadn't opened his eyes for a couple of days. He and I were close. He is/was like a second dad to me and I feel very fortunate for all of the wonderful times we spent together. I would not be surprised if he is gone by morning.

Had a pretty good day today. Put in close to 200 miles behind the wheels of two different Monte Carlos. Started the day driving my dad's '02 LS. Took him to a Dr. appointment, then from there to pick up my '03 Pace Car. Back home with him following me in his LS, then out for dinner with my wife and kids in the new Pace Car. Wife LOVES the heated seats.
Pulled the engine cover off the 3800 this afternoon, just to see how easy it really was to do. 'Twas a good thing and a bad thing. It was easy to get off, but then I saw the oil pooling on the intake on the firewall side of the engine. Thought "oh well, valve cover gaskets, no problem." Then I did some more reading suggesting it may be time to do upper/lower IM gaskets also. I may put this off til spring when warmer weather hits, as I won't be driving her that much over the winter.
