While I was working on a 6.0 while lying on my belly again, I remembered this picture

This one is a dead horse. The truck was trailered almost 200mls to me. I called the owner to pick it up...he thought the repair would be only little work.
I will never understand how you can neglect an engine like that.

As in: bring your trailer with you "pick it up"? Or did you fix that mess and he's driving it home...?

The owner has no idea about the 6.0 technology. He would prefer it if the repair would cost nothing. The truck was the last 3 months in different workshops. The HEUI diesel technology is almost unknown in Europe, so many mistakes are made in the diagnosis. "Repaired" was only with the help of Youtube videos, no workshop had software to read DTCs. Like the "professional" wiring of the ICP sensor was worked on the whole engine and no maintenance was done. The engine oil is comparable to tar. The engine would only be repaired with a lot of effort, I told the owner. Since he does not want to invest, I told him to pick up the truck with the trailer again. I suspect the issues I told him all are concealed, and it ends up with "minor defects" on ebay.

It looks like the latest stain has broken through the vaccines. Les picked it up last Saturday, feeling ill on Sunday. Today is my turn. Both of us Vac'd and with 1 booster, we didn't see the point when these last two get you if vaccinated or prior exposure.

This area in NJ has been high lately for occurrence, not for hospitalizations or deaths.

Pass the chicken soup ......

Sorry to hear this, Jack - you and Les take care! I've been reading on the BA-4 and BA-5 strains for the past couple weeks. Pfizer and Moderna have been given ok to fastrack a booster tailored right at them, but due out in Oct. Will be interested in how it affects you both as supposedly these two go right after the lungs, which is how Delta was for me - I think I still have longer term lung conditions from that 8 week joyride...

And here we're going to a party this afternoon... :-/

My lungs are always poor since childhood.

Since January, I've been on and off with congestion, twice almost doing the unthinkable, telling my doc. The last few months have been like pleurisy rather than phenomena; I've had both a few times. I take zinc, NAC, Glutathione, D, and C, plus others, along with a Singular subscription. So we'll see how the next days go. So far, not as bad as Les, where her lungs were affected. But she kept pulling 96-97 Oxy levels. On average, I'm 92 to 95.

​​​​​​​We were both going to wait until the fall when the new vaccine version comes out. Biden doesn't seem as aggressive as Trump in getting ahead of things. But, of course, with all of these vaccines, we are the lab rats.

Apparently you haven't been doing much research on the covid vaccines, Jack. If I was guessing, I'd say the vax is your problem.

https://www.lewrockwell.com/2022/07/...-vaccine-plot/

Try 3ml/day of liquid ivermectin for five days.

I have Chris. Nice try.

About a week ago, shortly after that post, we made the decision to not get the updated booster this fall. I've been researching more about the effects of Covid on Beta cells, and the vaccine, too. I tend to look at medical studies rather than the writings of people like Mr. Rockwell. What I post is subdued compared to personal views and face to face discussions. My data for the last years fits the concerns well.

You have what? Tried ivermectin, done some research, or both?

It all comes down to who you trust. After two years of false covid narratives, the flip-flopping Fauci, government imposed medical tyranny, and a medical establishment overwhelmingly pushing an experimental "treatment" that should have never been allowed to leave the lab, I'll give my ear to those like Lew Rockwell over any of the aforementioned anytime. Of course there are those doctors that have been speaking out since the beginning; many who lost their medical licenses and/or got locked out of their social media accounts for speaking counter narrative thoughts. If you haven't seen the Joe Rogan interview with Dr Peter Malone, who helped develop the Mrna vaccine, it is well worth the 3+ hours. Also, look into the reviews of Dr Birx's new book for some insight into the psychopaths who were calling the shots.

I am happy to hear you decided to forgo the fall "booster". Probably the best decision you've made since this whole disaster began.
