Little bugger had a good run, they usually only live 15-20. He had the best of everything, open cage policy 24/7, and a good life which is small consolation. Just strange how quiet the house is now.

In other news, putting a deposit on a 2018 inferno Tundra in KY as soon as they open and heading into the Portland to lay in the techno-tube for my spine MRI in a couple hours. Welcomed distractions.. Yay adulting!

 

Didn't know you had back trouble. Does not sound fun.

Where in KY?

 

Sitting in those stupid small boats with broken seat shocks chasing idiot drug-runners in the Coast Guard for 4 years does wonders on your discs. Blew my L5-S1 and was told I need them fused, getting a second opinion first.

Hazard, KY. Yeehaw!

 

Garrard County, KY here.

 

I'll buy you a pizza if you drive that thing to Maine for me

 

What a deal, a free pizza! I'm no dummy, I know good when I see it.

 

Get it here unscathed... TWO toppings.

 

Hazard!

Sister....that's deep in the holler. Might hear some banjos.

Hey all. Been feeling sick for about 6 weeks, all symptoms of COVID19, but because I don’t have a fever, no test for me. Well, regulations have relaxed a bit and I can get tested... Waiting on those results. What an awful test. Felt like my brain was getting scraped.

Having severe scoliosis and disk degeneration, I totally empathize with those that have bad backs. My disks have shrunk so much that I have lost 2 inches of height. It has straightened out my back a bit though. At its worst, my head was about 3.5 inches off center. I used to error out chiropractors back measuring machines to the point they would put it into maintenance mode to read my back and reset their end point measurement. They had never seen anything like it.

 

Damn Kevin. That's a long time to feel bad. Keep us posted.

Back in '98 I had some disc issues as well. Tough 12 months. But it thankfully healed up over the course of that year. Once in a blue moon my left foot and calf will still get numb from it if I stand in one place too long. But nothing too bad. I got lucky considering that it can be a life long battle for some.

I feel for you folks with chronic pain though.

 

Sorry to hear about you back hope it gets better. Man that's a long time to be sick hope the test gives you answers and you get well soon

 

Goodness. Growin' old ain't for sissies.

@old man 895 i'm sorry about your horse, 21 years caring for ANYTHING is gonna bring tremendous attachement, both you and @FlyingWolfe got hit hard on that front. Sorry to hear.

Flying Wolfe, glad you found that truck. And i'll add, I'm a New Englander with roots a few hundred years deep, although presently displaced, and I'm here to tell, Kentucky has some unspeakably beautiful country. If you haven't been you're in for a treat.


Working my a** off. At my desk now even catching my breath before getting back out to the floor to get the week done and over with. (Manufacturing - essential - heavy ship day)

 

Ex husband was from Chattanooga and I fly at Lookout Mtn when I venture down yonder, visited KY once or twice. Its gorgeous down there, took me a couple years to get rid of my southern accent living in shithole Virginia for 5 yrs but 10 mins south and its back again.. I stick out like a damn hammered thumb up in Maine with it

 

YAY LOOK WHAT I GOT OMGOMGOMG!!!
