Yes I have

 

Just got back from the Vet. She has a virus caused by Ticks like Lyme but not Lyme. It causes lethargy and sore joints.
They can ID it but they don't have a treatment for it. It can present randomly or not at all.
Not necessarily fatal but with her age its not helping.
Just keep her comfortable and try to get her to eat and drink.
Thank you for your thoughts.

 

Well that's a lot better news! Hope she gets better!

 

I moved from NY metro to RI quite some years back. Life on an Island was nice. Prepared me for my move to VT. Was good living - VT. Learned 0F & above was acceptable.

 

Pedialyte.

 

Sorry. Didn’t realize the Wife’s XJ was in the pic.

 

That was more in reference to the license plates, but now that you mention it....

 

The keys to understand NY driving:

ME First. My time is more valuable than yours.
I'm very important & HAVE to multi-task (did I mention how important & busy I am), so just give me room & keep out of my way.
The rules are to keep YOU in line, they do not apply to ME. (I am far too important to be weighed done by common rules.)

When you realize you are merely supporting cast & learn to keep your place, you will be ready to drive amongst NYers.
(ACK, why did you send me back to the dark place!)

 

I gotta say, most people in Albany drive better than MA and RI. It's the NJ drivers you have to watch out for.

 

Unfortunately, the XJ makes us look bad regularly.

It could be worse though. At least I didn’t spend a TON of time and money on the Taco, only to have my Wife’s budget build XJ kick my butt.

No, wait...

 

Still willing to polish those bushing sleeves for me?

 

Yes, what do you need done again?

 

I have a pile of bushing sleeves for my truck, that I was going to try and polish on my drill press that you said you could chuck up in a lathe and knock out real quick.

Like this guy talks about at 2:09

 

Yessir, I am a professional polisher on the lathe but in all seriousness just get them to me and I'll bang them out on my lunch break or something

 

I wasn’t even thinking about that..l but now that you have me thinking about it again, that could be a fun upgrade for the bike!

We ended up going to the show early today, i’ll Never go again with both kids. What a shit show. The show was decent, first time going and don’t think i’d go again. The manufacturers brought all their top platforms,high dollar units. Not much for what i’d be looking at. Might go with just the older one to the auto show tomorrow, we’ll see.

Albany is MUCH better than Boston, the roads are much better cared for. I87 is like NY’s baby, they keep it in perfect shape.

Don’t lump the whole state with those degenerates you associated with in that asshole that is NYC. the rest of the state is really nice!

X2! It’s like a huge stress relief when I visit my family in NY, I very much prefer driving around there than Boston.

 

What were you thinking of then?

 

I was just being a smart ass, I didn’t actually have anything in mind, haha.

 

Ah haha didnt know if you wanted a shift knob or something. I made my buddy lift control lever knobs for his 2 post lift, did Alex's grenade, and turned down a set of spacers for another friend. Alex wants spacers and extensions, my other buddy wants hubs turned down for his wheeler. Lots of stuff
