stickyTaco's boosted eff cancer build and ramblings

Infusion day. Not sure what I was thinking scheduling this for a Monday.....

 

Hang tough brother

 

Thanks. Plan is to get some anti nausea meds on board once I'm done here and get the boat hitched up and spend some time on the water this afternoon.

 

Nice!!!!

 

Feeling pretty good today after being sick from another infusion on Monday. Scan results show everything is stable so I'm on a watch and wait program now. Blood tests monthly and another MRI in 6 months.

I can tell the infusions are getting my blood counts back up because I'm feeling stronger and more alert than I have been in several weeks (if not months). Now I just need to get my electrolytes back up after being sick because these calf cramps I've been getting are not fun.

 

Hang in there brother!!! glad to hear you're feeling stronger!!

 

I've been drinking Pedialyte but that shit is nasty. Best combo I've found is the tropical flavored Pedialyte mixed with some orange juice.

 

Can't you Gatorade it, or it that too much to the other extreme?

Mio "water enhancers" might work for adding flavor.

 

Been doing Gatorade too Cap. Ideally, as my appetite comes back I can get what I need via food and cut the sport drinks out.

 

Turns out my calf cramping is blood clots. Two steps forward, one step back

 

Dang it man

 

Eff Cancer.

Good luck Zack.

 

Well said brother

 

Thanks all. Other than sore calfs I'm feeling alright...I might be slower lately but I'm still managing to get stuff done.

Installed the Kenwood sub this weekend. Took me about 5 hours over two days but I wasted time removing some stuff that I didn't need to. It fits nicely under the seat and works well with the stock JBL stereo (I don't understand why that stock sub is so weak....so much potential but I doesn't hit the mark)

I used the wiring harness plug for the sub to get inputs from the right and left channel of the sub. I used T quick splices and connected the inputs to the wires just before the small plug at the bottom of the amp (with wires that run into the sub box).

GRN-YEL STRIPE=L+
GRN-WHT STRIPE=L-
BLU-BLK STRIPE=R+
PURPLE-RED STRIPE=R-

Ran the speaker wire up the passenger side then under the passenger seat and around the back of the consul.

The ground is under the consul on one of the factory grounds and power runs to the battery up the driver's side of the truck.

The intermittent power wire runs under the consul then over to the fuse bos where it's connected to the acc slot. In hindsight I should have run it up the driver's side with the power but I intended to hook it up to the 12v plug behind the dash.

There's a lot of room in the truck when the interior is removed. I pulled the rear seat bottoms, the plastic cover behind the rear seat, the center consul, and unbolted the front seats to make it easier to pull the wire under the carpet.

 

A little non truck project in the works

 

That sure is pretty!!!!!!


Whatever it is lol

 

I'm building an AR with wood furniture...if it's not black won't be as scary
