I'm glad your boy isn't surgical. Are they thinking he might need a little PT after all this to build his strength back up in that knee?

I hope your nephew will continue to get better! With the school year coming to an end hopefully he won't have to deal with that one teacher much longer and his little stomach can get back to normal!

Things are okay here, SSDD (same ****t different day). Thanks for asking!

 

Well, my son is doing pretty good but will probably need some PT at some point. This Reiter's Syndrome also causes general weakness so he's just worn out all the time. He's been working out a lot leading up to this so it's kind of got him down because he can't lift right now. He'll be alright though...he's still young (16).

My nephew is so glad to have this school year out of the way. I think my sis-in-law is going to talk to the school superintendant since the principal refused to move him. We'll see how it plays out but I'm guessing they'll leave him there since the year's almost over now. Bad thing is that they've called school off so many times because of snow this year, the kids don't get out until June 17 or 18. They were originally supposed to get out on May 28.

We're thinking about putting our kids in a private Christian Academy here next year. They teach K-12 and the kids only go four days a week so they're off every Friday-Sunday. We haven't decided for sure yet but the public school system is getting worse all of the time.

 

So does your son have Reiter's on top of mono or just the Reiter's?

At this point in the year it might be tough to move your nephew but if it is causing him to get sick something has to be done since they have a little over a month left.

I don't blame you for wanting to put your kids in a private school. I am pretty lucky with the district my chicks are in, I like the school and their teachers. There are quite a few districts in the state I would never put my chicks in. I went to some crappy schools as a kid and don't want my kids to go through and deal with the same crap that I did.

 

Well, he has both, unfortunately. He's getting over the mono though and if he can just get this Rieter's taken care of, he'll be in great shape. I wish he was back here. He wasn't this sick in all the years he lived with me combined.

The deal with the nephew just sucks too. I'm sure they'll leave him where he is now until school's out. Rebecca already knows which teacher she wants him to have next year though and I really don't think she'll get an argument out of the principal.

The schools here could be a lot better. We have had a recent influx of thugs that have moved into many of the newly constructed projects. The other night at a PTA assembly, I ran into no less that 20 people I've arrested or had to deal with in the past year. Even worse, two of those have kids in each of my kids' classes. Time to make a change. The good thing about the private school we're looking at is they start the school year after Labor Day and never go past Memorial Day. Plus, they have three day weekends all year long. Works out good for me too as I'm off every other Friday-Sunday too.

Well, it's time to hit the hay...I'll check back in tomorrow. Great looking kids by the way. Sorry I didn't comment on it sooner but this has been a day from hell today. And Kudos to everybody on their pics! Great pics by everybody and like was said before, it's pretty cool to finally put faces with names and posts!

'Night Cris and everyone.

 

ok Cris.

what the heck are you talkin about?? i know you ain't talkin about on board air.

ya got to remember. some of us are old, and don't know what abbreviations mean.

 

oh. ok. that makes a lot of sense now.
so basically we get a $5 air compressor pressure regulator and put it in the map sensor line after the "T" for the boost gauge, rite??

 

good morning all! F I N A L L Y i woke up and i got to see the sunrise. And now after a solid week of rain, it's going to be in the 80s... HUMIDITY GALORE this afternoon. Welcome back to the East!! There's a reason it's so green!

 

no, it would be irresponsible of you if you do not do a prolonged power-brake burnout with a videotape rolling, until you blow out the rear tires, just to prove to your nosy neighbors that you are insane, and best left alone.

 

OBA = Over Boost Annihilator

ITP has one, as I'm sure others do. Brandon (bdrummonds) also did a writeup of how to build your own for ~$25-ish

 

back in 1972 we towed a 62 ford ranch wagon off the side of the road. the owners said keep it. but we never got the title for it, so we cut the body off it, shortened the frame, welded a full cage on it, and went woods bashing. it had a 312 4 barrel "Y" block, and a 3 manual speed trans. at just over 1800lbs, this thing would burn the tires till they blew out.
over the years, it has been upgraded a few times, "sold" to 8 different people making it's way all the way out to Ohio, and then back here to jersey. about 15 years ago, we found it sitting at an impound yard 5 towns over, and after telling the yard owner its early history, he gave it to us.

we brought it home, and dropped a 400 chevy with a turbo 400 trans into it, welded a set of 15 inch rim centers into 16.5 truck rims with directional tires on them, and went bashing again. after the 800 acres we drove it in was sold, it was parked for 6 years. last summer when scrap was real high, it took it's final ride over the scales because the engine was seized from sitting. it brought just about $500

 

ya want to come help me with mine next week??
it only took me 45 minutes to find the damn computer and take it out so i could get the code for clay.

 

well, the only pic i have seen of you is your avitar, and that is WAY to small for my old eyes to see.

 

while it is true you can't post pics like that in the forums, links to said pics ARE allowed.

 

The worst part about that Tom is that you can get the code from the connector with a flashlight and an inspection mirror. That's how I did mine.

Next weekend I am going to Petes to help him with some stuff on his truck. If you want swing on by and I'll help you with the DP It is about a 2.5 hour ride for you

 

well, unfortunatly Jim, with the rain ending it is back to work for me come monday morning.

and no offense, but you ain't nowhere as hot as Lisa is.
