How'd it go today?

Onto a new chapter.

That car/ truck crash, had to be texting, wouldn't y'all say?

Its common, but its sort of a harsh assumption. A sneezing fit can do the trick. Heck, a sudden muscle spasm can cause a catastrophe. I hope I never run into a medical issue at the wheel.

Had a barium test/upper GI thing done today. Sort of unpleasant, but not the worst thing in the world.

A friend of mine blacked out in a trailer truck. Killed two people in the oncoming lane.

They expect that she had a medical issue. Nothing more yet though. Dennis said the front axle sheared from the truck and was stuck under the rear.

I wondered what that was by the rear axle.

If she was 250lbs it could be a lot of things, maybe heart or diabeties attack. Bad day that's for sure.

Swallowing that stuff is the easy part, eat plenty of fibre/psyllium or metamucil and fruit & vegs. I had one years ago, turned out I didn't need it. Quack doctor.

Does the barium test check anything that the camera down your throat can't see? The camera isn't so bad by a doc with good technique, and a very definitive exam to see what's up.

Had my once a year lumbar disc's slip. Sure it's a brief vacation but I can barely do anything. I feel like my spine is made of glass right now(broken glass)anyone else have this issue ?

Quit aging, page.

Avoid lift and twist.

Ab workouts to balance opposing muscle groups (my massage therapist told me to do this. I've got tight, low back muscles, especially on one side).

I have an inversion table (usually go on sale for $100 at Big 5, etc). I don't use it as much as I should, but its good to traction the spine, and stretch the muscles.

Stretch and hydration.

Seems mine does it about the same.. Once a year and can't hardly move. Not with out tears anyway...

Shame on the accident. I feel for everyone involved there.

Bought a truck on my way to see my Sister at my mom's last night. Well, put a deposit on it. Trip to the bank today should seal the deal. I think I need a 12 step program..

I don't know what your talking about. I don't do that
Avoid lifting and twisting? That's a good one
Been having trouble with it ever since I fell off a deck and landed on a tree stump. Go figure. It has been happening less frequently since I started climbing

 

[Ross Winchester]

Had a tree view of the red arrows , slipped up and booked a job in Cromer on carnival day but all went well .

 

[MasterBlaster]

Cool!!!

 

[squisher]

That must of been awesome!

I hate back issues, I've had a couple minor issues, luckily infrequent.

 

[SouthSoundTree]

Avoid lifting and twisting? That's a good one

reduce, then. Speedlines help to speed rigging up, reducing having to cut and chuck so much, plus avoids obstacles below. Magic Cut reduces strain of chunking spars. You only lift your saw.


water.

Best of luck with it.

I had to turn down a quite big hedging job today. I hate turning down work, but I just can't stand doing certain things anymore.

 

[Dave Shepard]

I got all the parts to my OWB this weekend. Assembled it all and fired it up for a test run. Worked great! Now on to the plumbing. I've got to get it attached to the house now. Not bad, $600 for the door, and $500 in scrap for the boiler.

 

[Dave Shepard]

That's screwy. That sideways pic I took out when I edited it, but it's still there. Can't win sometimes.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Cool stuff Ross

I picked up the "new to me" truck.. 1991 F250 4X4 460 CI beast
Should tow some stuff

 

[Fiddler]

nice truck! bet she is a thirsty ole gal...

 

[squisher]

Nice Stephen!

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Vewy thirsty! Dude kept her nice though.. only 142 K on the ticker.
Of course I had to run the kids up the 2-1 slope tonight with her

 

[squisher]

It looks mint.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

The thinning job I am working on that Dave got to help with a few days will pay for her toot sweet. 12" chipper I have to rent has to get into some places the 2WD won't go. 2K cash and drove her home. Shopping for chippers too.. Just have to keep pushing money around

 

[FireFighterZero]

Nice! 2000 is a steal! I have a '93 460 and it gets about 10 on the highway. My buddy had a '90 with the manual and 460. It would run away from mine and get the same mileage.

You got one of the good ones!

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Saw a 93 the other day they wanted almost 7k for.. I could not believe what they are asking for these. I think I paid 3500 for my 90 short bed back 10 or more years ago..
