stickyTaco's boosted eff cancer build and ramblings

Thanks @ChadsPride. If you're close enough to work and don't need a vehicle during the day it's a great way to get some exercise and clear your head.

I'm close enough to work that I can be here in 20 minutes (that was my out of shape/minimal cardio exercise in the past 5 years time this morning). Once I build some strength and stamina I can probably cut that closer to 15 minutes. There are some trails that are somewhat on the way home that I hope to be riding next month...those will add anywhere from a mile to 15 or more miles to my trip home.

Plan is to put in work now and be strong again by winter for ski season.

 

I am for sure close enough to the office, I should ride my bike.

Been thinking about it for a long time now, might have to make the switch.

Keep it up and dont stop fighting!!! ​

 

I ran across a Viair 300P for $35 shipped on Amazon last night so I ordered it. I guess that means I'll be hard mounting it since I don't need two portable units.

Checked again this morning and now it's $130....wonder if they are going to cancel my order or if it'll actually ship

 

@jberry813 came by the other day and something big, black, and rigid fell out of the back of his truck....gotta watch out for that guy.

 

Ooooh, ahhh.

 

Played that in a bar once...asked to leave we were

 

I regularly hit 230-245f at the torque converter when towing...curious to see where temps run once I get this B&M 70268 plate cooler installed.

 

This weekend really got away from me.

Just have to run the hoses but I'm happy with the mount. If I end up bypassing the OEM cooler I'll pull that out to get some airflow back but I'm going to wait a few months first. I plan to bypass the radiator and OEM cooler for a bit this winter to make sure I can get the transmission up to temp in a reasonable amount of time before I rip everything out.

 

Cancer Sucks
Keep fighting & glad to hear things are going well now.

p.s. If the blood transfusion bill is still open, just pay them $25/month. Technically they are not supposed to charge interest.

 

Yeah. I typically try to stretch the payments out until the end of the year but like to have my medical bills caught up by January when the deductible on my insurance resets.

 

Decal fits perfectly, just need to sand down the bedliner so it sticks. Thanks @amirak

 

Tenant moved out so truck work is on hold while we landscape and renovate....I did find the winch helpful for removing a few trees and bushes.

 

Hooray for destroying stuff!

 

I was a lot more fun than digging that shit out

 

Well fucking fuck. I was hoping to graduate from MRIs every 6 months to annual imaging but the oncologist and radiologist have some concerns with my scan earlier this month so the next imaging is in 4 months now.

To top that off my blood counts are dropping again so I have infusions scheduled for the next 2 weeks.

Fortunately life goes on and I keep putting one foot in front of the other. Been busy getting our rental refurbished and ready for new tenants so haven't had any time (or money) to continue my build or get it off-road for 2 months or so now.

Tuesday night I got the new appliances moved into the kitchen and noticed the sticker on the side of the fridge was a pretty solid representation of how I've been feeling the past couple of weeks so I decided to rock it for the evening...made the Wife laugh which is always a bonus.

 

Lol on the sticker.​

 

If I were you, I would blame it all on the the rental. Dump it, buy more parts, go camping.

 

This is something I've strongly considered.....but the extra cashflow every month when someone is in it is nice and the plan is to keep to supplement retirement income (probably another 20-25 years until I retire). This is the first time it has been vacant since we bought it so I had a fairly substantial list of things I wanted to do. Next turn shouldn't be so bad.
