Damnit. That's cool. I don't think we have that kind of room in the mirror assembly tho.

So. I had a follow up appointment at the hospital today. And a stress test.

I'm basically a heart attack waiting to happen.

Meeting with the cardiologist tomorrow.

Well shiat dude, I hope they get a good plan put together for you.

 

[BEEFY]

Man I feel rough. Not sleeping the greatest right now.

Plus back at work.

Come split and stack some fire wood, its good for clearing the mind and helping you sleep. Did 2/3 or a cord last night and slept great. Have another 1 1/3 cords stacked, ready to be cut and split.

Sucks on both counts. I had a cup of coffee too late last night (but it goes so well with pie) and it jacked my sleep up. So i feel in a fog.

Coffee doesn't keep me as awake as I wish it would. It does go really good with pie.

It's a great day when I have to tell the firewall team how to setup routing on the device. Note: I'm a local admin on the audio team, not directly associated with IT.

Finally met with someone who had answers. The stress test showed a blockage. They're going to do an angiogram today and verify, then likely place a stint and I'll be good as new.

 

[Prime]

So in all likelihood I'll be in the hospital tonight and go home tomorrow.

 

[BEEFY]

Hope all goes well and that you are back up and moving/feeling better than normal soon.

Taco Hell for Cinco de Mayo. I know I know, but wife is working, I had to get my truck from the shop, kid's got dance class, just too busy to taco myself.

Big truck got new kicks and donated it's Nittos to the steelies for the X!

These days that’s a good thing. Easy in and out.

Many thanks! Just picked up UCAs. Mine are now clunking super loud when they droop. My brother squeezed the bushing with pliers on the passenger side when we did my shocks, so I knew it was coming eventually.

What'd you get?

What'd you get?

Mevotech CMS301141, which people are saying actually show up as SPC forged UCAs with SPC bushings.

I found him on Reddit. Either 50 or $65, I've seen him state both. Am waiting on reply.

I would’ve thought that’d be a bad spot due to mud splash, but looking at my muddiest pictures it seems the mirror stays clean. Wish I’d come up with that.

The new forged style or the older welded style? I have the older welded SPCs and they've been great.

The pictures are the welded but everybody who bought them from this stock and reported back on “another” forum received the new forged ones.

All done. Already feel better.

^^^ Good to hear that. Now take the time to heal.

Had that a few years ago. The bruise that plastic sleeve makes is crazy and you really really get tired of it being there. I went in on a Monday and left on Thursday morning. Good luck

That's great news prime! Out of curiosity,if you don't mind me asking, what did they do?

That's great news prime! Out of curiosity,if you don't mind me asking, what did they do?

So I had a 99% blockage of left anterior descending artery. Also known as The Widomaker artery since heart attacks that involve it are usually undetectable until its too late.

So I got lucky.

They stuck a really long controllable straw in my wrist that went all the way to my heart. That straw had a balloon on the end of it and also a metal mesh (think hardened steel Chinese finger trap). They insert the mesh (stent) into the blocked artery, they inflate the balloon, which opens the blocked artery and expands the stent to hold its shape restoring blood flow to the affected area.

Now I can't really use my right hand for a few days.

 

[Prime]

Which sucks. But. It's better than being dead.

Did they let you watch, I got to see the screen while they had it in.
