Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

Work smarter, not harder....I preach that to my kids daily

 

Huh, I thought you’d be one of those wiry, skinny guys that fit behind boilers, massive piping and the such

Re: early oil/pnumatic fluid changes- reminded me of when the gt350 first came out. Threads on threads of when to do it, are there assembly lubes, what about peices of left over flashing…. It was a new motor for Ford (V-8 with a Flat Plane Crank) so anxieties were through the roof




Glad to hear the machine seems to like it

 

Hope it is feeling better. My money is still on a torn meniscus. Likely a the meniscus has a piece that is periodically irritating the joint, causing fluid build up and discomfort. Hoping for a simple fix. How do you feel about knee surgery?

 

Sadly no...

At the old job I had a fellow (electronic wizard) who is 6'2" and weighs 140, he was the poor sap who got stuffed in any cramped miserable space.

On the other hand, one day I came on him swinging in mid air on a pipe wrench trying to loosen something - I just reached up and pulled, sometimes it comes in handy.

 

I don't want surgery, don't know many people who do

 

i had meniscus repair, not that bad at all...

 

I’ve had torn meniscus in both knees. One was a flap that I would only wish upon my worst enemy..

I know we’re all different but I’ve never had fluid build up because of it.

@six5crèéd , if they offer to scope it, you might want to consider it. Only 2-3 small incisions per knee, it will let them see what’s going on. And you don’t need general anesthesia.

Recovery is way better than the weekend you had.

 

You want a heart attack, you should see how much I'm gonna have to put down on 5 new tires for the truck....

 

Well, pleasantly surprised. In and out in under 40 minutes with a new Napa Legend battery free of charge! Not sure who makes those batteries, but it was free and has a 3 year warranty. Can't complain.

EDIT: Looks like East Penn or Clarios. Being in PA it's probably EP.
