LB goes under the knife

Less than 18 hours after arriving home from vacation, Leadfoot dutifully arrived at Backus Hospital at 6am for his 37th surgery, to date.  Judy Chmura, mom to crew chief Jon, was the R.N. prepping LB for his umbilical hernia operation. 

LB got through the surgery with flying colors and is now resting up.  The surgery comes at a bad time, what with the season starting in 29 days.  There is much to be done and according to crew member Rob Clorite, the team is behind schedule if it is going to make it.
