    5/13/53 here. Age 71 was here before I knew it. The shittiest part is figuring out how many more potential years I have behind the wheel!

    I sprayed almost a whole can of silicone spray down that conduit trying to pull the old cord out - with the new one attached. Took hours, a few inches at a pull. The 2800 engine has been good practice for exceedingly slow results! The new cable could not make the last 90*, and I got the fish out. These were my pulling "handles" for the old cable.

    I used my own stem cells for a stem cell transplant in 2017. Then spent 5 years on monthly treatments. The cancer will come back slowly but right now I am holding my own. I’m going on 7 years. Only 35% of the people who get this make it past 5 years. F cancer

    F cancer.
    I survived mine, but it did me no favors.
    Wife had lunch with a good friend who just spent two years dealing with breast cancer. Told the Doc back when she wanted a double. He said no. Yesterday, he said she was right.
