Good morning!!!

Keeping (((TT))) in my thoughts and prayers.

Inspection station today. DDs computer was reset yesterday, but mechanic says her car is following in mines footsteps with the resonator/exhaust. ($600) should she have to fix it. Praying it gets through inspection though I have my doubts/worries. She can use a break here as she doesn't have $600 to address the issue. Another car is planned as soon as she is working in her field. (Second interview is in the works)
Hugs and have a great day! Asking for positive mojo !!!!

Heck I didn't know Tejas had cancer.....Glad too hear it's gone....

Hope the shot works Oly....Mine is better but would have been much better had I not stressed it again yesterday....

Got my air line....Working from the end too the source.....a complex three stage filter too remove water/trash.....fittings galore...mounting bracket welded on by yours truly many years ago...changing the last fitting for the new line and the first turned a bit....meaning it will leak....so yeah....cut the bracket off....with no air....disassemble the unit...add fresh fittings....reweld....reinstall....I got too the cut bracket stage and said fekk it...the high dollar plumbing supply store was closed anyways....Lowes had galvanized fittings from South Africa....150psi rating....USA made at the high dollar 700 psi rating....

Check engine lights for converters/exhaust....I've done this many times with good success...

First....The cheapest gas is kinda like the South Africa fittings....it might work but it could cost you....I pay a few cents more and buy a name brand...converters don't like the cheap sheet....Mom's car had a check engine light for a bad converter about 2K back....I hit O'Reilly's and hooked up a Royal Purple fuel system cleaner...Waited for the 1/4 tank left and threw in the whole bottle...I then went too the backwoods and ran the car into the ground...Get it good and hot and from a dead stop hold it down until you gotta lift...Getting the RPMs high builds pressure in the exhaust and aids the process....Mom's light went out on it's own....I then filled up and added a full can of Sea Foam...the light hasn't come back on....Usually I use the Sea Foam but the Royal Purple is good as well....I try and add a can of SF @ every 5th tank full....My blower and weed eater have ethanol free gas w/SF added the other day...Keep it clean,,,,Gas ain't worth a fekk these days....the addition of ethanol made it worse....converters and ethanol are a known NO GO !!!!!!!!! 99.9% of the time a converter light will reappear before a drive cycle is completed{the 50/75 miles}....I've used SF and the light went away on it's own and I've also cleared the light after dosing w/SF successfully...Usually pre inspection I make sure there are no codes and in NC a converter light equal no pass...There can be 2 codes present....no emmission codes though

Positive thoughts headed your way, Tracy.

LD, we learn so much from you. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge with us. Please don't send me a bill as I would have to put it on my account though :laugh:

I have been through the spinal injections and nerve burns for years with my back. Until the last surgery screwed me up and they no longer work anyawy. Do yourself a favor and go to Tractor Supply. Get some horse liniment called Corona. Put it on your back at night before bed or anytime really. I know that it sounds odd but you may be surprised at just how well it works. hey, it will have dual purpose for you as you can use it on Spike if he ever needs it as well. :)

Yeah, TT doesn't really like to talk about his health issues on forums much. He has been dealing with it and chemo for awhile now and I think that he is going to be okay. :thumb::thumb:

Yes it was a my spinal injection. I walk out with much relief but it will be a day or two before i know how well it really works. I actually have a prescription of a ketamine cream that helps a lot but the new insurance is causing problems so i'll keep the tractor supply option in mind. I'm very thankful for my boss at work, he supported me being gone from work with NO real notice and has been great with other issues as well. He has seen me working when i can't barely move and know i'm not a slacker.

Tracy, so glad that worked out.

    Salem I am getting me some corona from Tractor Supply! Thanks for the tip!!

    My mom and aunts all swear by hoof maker for skin softening (lotion) and mane and tail for hair conditioner, so I believe in corona already!! ;)

    Tracy, it used to be called Horsemans Dream and changed its name to Corona. They have to get horses back on their feet quickly so it works fast. My MIL told me about it years ago and I have used it ever since. They use human stuff for animals so why not use animal stuff for humans? ;) Great for arthritis too!

    Oly, through the years that I have known you, I also know that you are no slacker when it comes to work. :) I do hope that you get many months of relief from the injection.

    Took my mom to one of those places that make same day dentures last week. Of course they do not fit so, we get to spend half the day there today and the other half at the surgeons office. :blink:

    I do hope that everyone here has a great day.
