Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

Google it and make your own? Just (mostly) kidding. Do not try this at home, seek proper medical advice (like I did).

A few years ago I broke a tendon in my pinkie finger. The upper 3rd flopped over (with very little pain) and I couldn't lift it, so it was kinda obvious. Went to the doctor, she had "never seen something like that before". She suggested physio. After some research, keeping it straight should heal the tendon in about 6 weeks. Made a splint, at 6 weeks it wasn't as straight as I wanted it yet, so I left it on for another 2 weeks, which was good. I can't bend it was well as the other, but I'm at 95+%. Probably all I could hope for anyway.

 

When comes to medical issues concerning its doctors, pharmacy, insurance....it seems like it was designed in such a confusion to fool me

 

Its all a scam

 

It was a simple and practical world for the people of common sense back in the day!

 

Be careful, be safe man!

 

Super easy date here too but kinda bittersweet- 9/11 plus 5. It was an uncertain time for sure..

 

That’s 20 mins from me , my mom lives out there 12-15 foot storm surge

 

Well we just got the call to come in at 0600 so ot in the morning for a couple will see how it shakes

 

i know the post is a way's back now, but i've long since learned that it's no longer feasible to repair jacks or carbs.

i used to buy the carb rebuild kits for small engines... the rebuild kit might be $8, but a brand new carb is $15...

 

It’s referred to as a mallet finger. I had the same thing happen to me while I was changing a tube in a tire. I ended up 3D printing a splint that worked really well.

 

Morning all have a great day

 

The truck part replacement list grows- new windshield installed yesterday. Been raining all night so it’ll be a good test

Good morning everyone, I hope you have a good day

 

Good morning shop crew, have a great, safe and blessed Thursday.

 

Be safe down there.

 

Honestly those cheap little China Carbs off Amazon have come a long way! I've bought several and they all worked. Most have some quirks going from idle to full quickly, but they run fine.

 

Morning crew, raining since yesterday over 2.80" so far. To top my day off yesterday the garage door spring broke. Fixed for now but really buggered up top panel, going to replace before winter or replacing the whole door.
Good thing I went back to work.
Y'all stay safe today.

 

Meanwhile our current conditions aren't improving.
Now I have 2 roads to work closed going to be leaving soon so I can navigate around or just sit in traffic.
