How'd it go today?

[woodworkingboy]

Maybe some therapy required, squish.

 

[SouthSoundTree]

ice and/ or heat?

 

[Tucker943]

Quaaludes help.

 

[Al Smith]

When did they go to wired steering Al? That just plain scares me.

I don't think they actually meant the steering was electronic ,just the engine controls .At least that's what I meant .

Why does it take longer to paint the inside of a closet than it takes to paint the bedroom?

Yeah, that's how my day went...

 

[woodworkingboy]

It's dark in there and you keep forgetting where you started?

Right now I hate my wife, so it's because she told me to do it!

Sorry to hear about the bum shoulder, Squish.

Didn't get to try the tube slide as we were with the kidlets, but had a blast. Funny thing is just as we pulled our kids outta the van a couple of our friends park right beside us and unload their kid, small world. Just got back from a post dinner ice cream and lake swim, tough life here in paradise!

today was pretty good. Slept in till 0800, 5 fruit breakfast then a roadsie to my inlaws place to get them and Bub. We all went to the Squamish logger sports days competition and had a hoot watching all the events. Meantime I met one of the guys from Sawdogs, and we got to see a great firefighting helo demonstration (youtube link to follow).

Painting the closet---->Fumes!

 

[MasterBlaster]

Brain damage!!!

 

[Tree Reb]

I guess the rain stopped.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Is that a nazi Bigfoot?

 

[Al Smith]

Well now if you're going to paint a closet floor that would be the place to start at rather than the place to end .

 

[Al Smith]

In a short I'm going to make a run to my favorite Stihl dealer in search of a blown engine BG-55-65 or 85 .I fired up the one Toms' boys squashed and it runs okay on a prime .From what I gather all three of those blowers use the same sizes of shrouding .If nothing I can always land a dead one from flea bay .

 

[squisher]

Well. Not so good news for me. The doc thinks it's a herniated disc in my c-spine. Seems odd to me, never had upper back issues at all, but the pain/stiffness isn't going away. I've been shot-up with morphine and muscle relaxants (yesterday) and still I'm suffering. Can't lie down flat, no pain or sign of anything on my spine at all, hoping to get in for a cat-scan early this week.

Fantastic week off so far. Lol.

 

[Burnham]

So sorry to hear, Justin. Hoping for improvement for you.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Dang! Get that cat-scan pronto!!!

 

[squisher]

I had it just figured as insanely tight muscles in my shoulder/neck/back but they've been tight since saturday morning and haven't released still. I've never had muscles stay tight that long espescially with the onslaught of drugs and massage that they've been given. So I guess it must be something causing it?

 

[squisher]

Dang! Get that cat-scan pronto!!!

I phoned and left them a message this morning, that I'm available anytime!

 

[Jack]

Sorry to hear of your troubles, Justin. If they want to do any serious work on you, make sure you get a second opinion. Sometimes they get it wrong! ... wishing you the best.

 

[sawinredneck]

Very sorry to hear this Justin! An MRI is the ticket for getting it looked at, just get loaded on pain killers before hand, you will be in a VERY uncomfortable position for 20-30min, longer if you move, as I did! The table is hard as a rock, and cold so you will tense up, making it hurt worse. Just trying to let you know a bit of what to prepare for!

 

[Burnham]

Shoot, I've had 3 MRI's...dropped off to sleep each time. Nothing to get wigged about, imo.

 

[squisher]

Sleep would be fantastic. No word on when yet, hurry-up and wait is the motto of our healthcare system I think.

Trying to just go with icing today, and no painkillers. We'll see how that works out.

I've only had one to detect a kidney stone and I too zonked right out .
