Please say a Prayer to our dear friend Bob Steinburger AKA The Weatherman!!!

The Weatherman AKA Bob Steinburger as I write this is undergoing Heart Surgery in Phoenix for a torn Aorta, I know many of you on Planet Robby know the Weatherman. I have been lucky enough to been able to help him with the weatherman relay for the last few years and pick his brain from time to time and learn about radios and the off road community. He has been a great mentor to me and taught me a lot over the years. Please keep him and his family in your thoughts and prayers. Thanks! Bob O.

Ah they'll just throw in some new resistors, a few jumper wires and some new rod ends. He's tough as nails... He'll be back for the next B1K no prob.

Get Well Bob.

Per Rick Johnson at 9:30 AM today; Update from Scott. The "Weatherman" is a very tough guy. They had to open him back up to remove a blood clot that was putting pressure on his heart.
His vitals are good and he is starting to move around. They are letting him wake up a bit now and check his faculties.It is amazing that they are able to rebuild the top chamber of the heart and vascular system. With the Lords help, they have great mechanics working on him. Seems his vitals are good and we will know more after while. Scott said when they met the surgeon for the first time, he looked a little young and Shelby said" Listen Dogie Howser you better know what you are doing, this is the Weatherman" a little humor.. It sounds like he is in very good hands.
