New England B.S. Thread

I have an older model that isn't available anymore but most stuff they make is pretty killer.

 

I found a set of Tubular UCAs I am going to put on. I should gain back some caster and easily clear this spot that's rubbing without having to do studs and spacers. I'm a little weary of non-hubcentric spacers as well. I appreciate you offering though

 

Mine was changed a touch early.

Oil looks good at 8500 miles, both viscosities are on track.

I'm comfortable running to 10k on the next one pending no significant changes in operation.

 

Outstanding. I’ll ask for a sample on next change and send it out . I’ll go to 7,000 this time around instead of the 5000 and see where I land.
Thanks


Maybe someone from my neck of the woods can recommend a place?


Again , thanks

 

I use blackstone too, it’s an online service and it’s like $40 per test. Go on thier website and they will send you some kits and you just drop it in the mail.

 

@Pibbles99 I did the first oil change early. And all the others at the 10k mark. Was either me, or my buddy's shop depending on time of year and my work load. Always been Mobil1 or Amsoil(this sample was Amsoil).
I'm incredibly systematic regarding maintenance.

 

I did them extensively on my old STI and just did the first one on my new one.

 

So it's like Cologuard for the truck haha

 

I’m under 40, I don’t know what that is

 

Haha touche, but they advertise the stuff on TV like crazy. Wait until you hit my age

 

They suggest starting to get screened now starting at age 45. You're not too far away.

I just did my 1st colonoscopy earlier this year (very late). They told me that I don’t have to have another one for 10 years. The nurse told me that is very rare!

 

Unless you have a family Hx of Colon Cancer, the standard recommendation is 10 years. My wife's uncle died at 76 of Colon Cancer, so she goes every five years. I'm due this year (yech) and have to remember to mention it to my new PCP next time I see him.

The prep is the worst part.

 

Colon cancer in 2008 guy here. Lost count of number of colonoscopies at this point.
Anybody ever has questions about the prep or procedure feel free to PM me.

 

I love it in New England but I gotta say, Yankees can't fry for shit.

Pulled out the big burner for a chicken fry with friends today and everybody had a good time. The chicken was a hit, I guess because it wasnt soggy and the color of old newspaper.

 

Lucky, I'm probably every year for a while..they did find polyps the first 2 times.

I figure at least I get to take a nap.

 

The doctor that did mine used Versed, which doesn't really put you to sleep, but makes you forget everything. It will be a different doctor this time, so maybe different prep and different meds.

 

I have had two and soon to be a third…..

 

Baby wipes are your friend

 

Got my first at 42

 

Yes
