So Earthquake68 sounds like you have a (forgive the spelling) Siatic nerve getting pinched/tweeked. That's what I've been going through for about the last year and a half. Been off work for over a year now. My employer for almost 9 years started offering short and long term disability insurance, this was befor I had any problems. So I jumped on the insurance and have been getting paid (at a discount, but paid) through that.
Gonna get some work done on Ka'Bluey today, everything is dry from the pressure washer yesterday, so it begins. Earthquake we need to get together, you about next door.
Y'all have a great, safe day!

Im going to A class about paint today in Harrison Ar! supposed to learn basics of selling paint.
Alan take it easy today. Oh do you have a clutch bit to take the secondary metering plate of the holly 650 I forgot to but the gasket under it, and took the tool back to my friend.

Yeah, I filed down an old screwdriver for that purpose, Ches. It works pretty good. Depending on what you want to do with it, we can also modify the metering plate to accept regular screw in jets like the primaries.
Unk Bob, not my sciatic area. Much higher up. In between L1 and L2 I have no disc anymore. My spine was crushed in the Army and I was med-boarded out with 5 bad discs ranging from bulging to ruptured. The ruptured one was squeezed out and wrapped around my spinal cord like a noose. That's the one that's completely gone now. The rest went back to semi-normal. Some days I'm fine and some days I can't walk. I've been fighting the VA on disability for two years now and getting nowhere. In the mean time, bills still need to be paid, so I work, take odd jobs on the side, and buy and sell stuff on CL. So far we're doing ok. All the bills seem to get paid, we just can't get any money saved up.

I knew exactly what you meant. ...and yes, the tool I made works perfectly. No worries.
....Oh, now I figured out how to edit my signature, you all know my name now. Don't worry, it's pronounced just like it's spelled. Don't over think it.

Whiskey, ...been to DAV. They scheduled my eligibility appointments for me while I was in Iraq. Kinda hard to say, "I need to go home for a doctors appointment, be back in a week?" They don't like that so much for some reason. It's been a p!$$!ng match with VA ever since.

Penny is still recovering from her 2nd neck surgery (fusion), so be careful as you can.
Keep punching on the VA, they are slow but it will work out eventually, at least it did for a friend, but it took years.
On the count down to get home.......
