Morning all from the dog house

 

Morning Friends

Blue, hang in there man. You're gonna talk to the Doc before you don't finish that script, right?

No you can't Mike, and they're multiplying like rabbits and sneaking up behind you. Fight the good fight to keep them at bay brother. It's our only option.

Andy. Keep your mouth shut and wait it out, she'll get over it eventually. We've all been there.

 

I've already put in a call....just waiting to hear back. The reaction I had to this stuff is worse than the reason why I have to take it....No flippin' way I can go 3 weeks on no sleep.

 

Back in the 80's a friend of mine campaigned what they called "the worlds fastest small block Chevy". It was a "Comp eliminator" car....a rail chassis with a blown and on alcohol small block 400. It ran low 8's in the 1/4. All the water jackets were filled and it ran no cooling system. Just a quick shot down the strip and shut off! The car NEVER broke.

 

Well crap, so sorry man. You're having a helluva time with this. Hope he gets you back in and sorted.

Jim has a point about resting on your days off. If you have the option, some sick days might be a smart way to go. Something in your current approach ain't workin' man. Just a thought to chew on, no offense intended brother.

 

I have multiple weeks of vacation time accumulated, but this is quite possibly the WORST time for me to be out. I'm picking and choosing jobs to keep fatigue to a minimum. I actually feel BETTER when I can work so long as it's in moderation.

I'm holding on to the promise this will all be over shortly.....Surgery is 2 weeks from tomorrow.

 

That's a great line.

 

We'd have a lot in common.

 

I'm either going to get better soon, OR, I'm gonna whoop some doctor's ass.....EVERY problem I've had falls back on a series of decisions this guy made.


I did the commercial construction deal for about 20 years before I landed here. I miss SOME parts of it, but mostly DON'T miss MOST of it.

 

Congratulations Matt!

 

Good afternoon, Physical therapy went good. A kind pretty young lady assisted me with my exercises, and was very professional. Just finished up a small landscape project at my moms. Bad weather is forecasted for tomorrow and then much lower humidity the rest of the week. Back to work tomorrow. Ugh!

 

Glad to hear it, Jim. I hate physical torture therapy

 

Thanks Andy. Hope all is well in Cali!

 

great! would love to do about the same thing all the body work and painting have taken their toll

 

kepp up the pt it has been helping me

 

Sure will!

 

jim you already read this but i got out and drove my little 2.7 automatic baby storm trooper about 100 miles today. first time driving in about a month and first time driving more (more than a mile to the dump) since i put on the wheels and 285's. no one will probably believe but the truck drove and rode better than ever and i honestly felt no power loss it even felt as if it pulled a little stronger. i found out it came with 4:10 gears but i expected to feel a power loss. it was all on road driving but still i was pleasantly suprised.

 

Awesome! That's a good size tire. Glad it worked out. I bet it felt good to get behind the wheel!

 

you betcha i wanted to keep on driving but i got tired. probably wouldn't have gone out but it was my mothers birthday so i took her a cake

 

... and for getting back on the road.
