New England B.S. Thread

Not a huge needle fan. I have nerve damage that causes my lower back to tighten into a knotted mass of painful bullshit. The masseuse went to massage my lower back and was like "wow!" The exclamation snapped me out of my mellow zone, but very true. And god did she dig into my back. It felt soooooo much better after that. Getting one once a week would be killer

 

my view from work today, not a fan of heights, wind didnt help things either

 

Welcome

 

I take something for my back pain I was highly against it, but it works.

 

Alex why not have you're wife give you a back rub?

 

Damn. My knees were a little shaky last week 35 feet up on wobbly pump jacks. That looks a little higher haha.

 

I'm on oxycodone right now and I'm feelin goooooooood

Don't live with the fiancée quite yet.

Though interestingly enough, she showed some interest in becoming a massage therapist after our appointment today. Maybe I can get free massages for life

 

Fuck that. Put me on one of those orange ladders and I'm not having fun. I just don't like ladders very much.

 

Thankfully the scaffolding was stable, theres nothing worse than a wobbly ladder

 

Have her start on you. My ex after we broke up said she missed my massages so much. I was able to knock her out a few times with it she was so relaxed.

 

She's pretty decent at it actually. She is very fidgety, so I guess that profession would suit her

 

Curious what you've done to make your back so bad at such a young age?

 

I'm not trying to be smart ass with this, but a single stage can be self propelled as well. A single stage snow blower uses one auger across the front to gather snow and push it out the discharge chute.

A dual stage unit uses an auger across the front which feeds the snow back to an impeller which forces the snow out the discharge chute.

The snow blowers used at airports and road clearing operations are almost exclusively, if not entirely, dual stage. Used to be most home units were single stage, but now there are lots of both. In the OP's second pic you can see the bottom of an impeller behind the auger, while the first picture just has an auger. So the pictures are labeled correctly.

Old single stage tractor mount.


Old dual stage tractor mount.

 

Wound up with nerve damage as a result of breaking my back in 3 places in 2009. I was snowboarding and ended up falling on my face and kicking myself in the back of the head. Very painful.

10 seconds of my life I would give anything to take back/redo...

 

That sounds unbelievably painful

 

I was actually laughing a bit... Before I tried to move.

 

Looks like you're putting windows on a Borg cube.

Sometimes at work I need to use an order picker or scissor lift. Not a fan of heights myself. And of course the higher you go with that equipment, the more they seem to sway.

 

Dropped the wife's T4R of at the body shop. When we went top get her rental they tried to give get a compact. I said nope must be comparable, we need an SUV. They have us a Nissan rogue. DO NOT WANT.

 

Makes you appreciate Toyota more haha..

Any more word from that stupid girl?
