So, where were you when I NEEDED you?



Oh, I'm still here. How could I leave this wonderful community???



I would go back, not because I want to change anything, but because 1985 was a mighty good year. Then again, I can go back there any time I want in my own mind.



What's wrong with the one you have now? I say keep it, but then, the decision is yours.

I would have come to the HO tonight, but I've been trying to get my act together to leave for work. I was thinking of leaving at my usual 1am, but I'm not feeling it tonight. I can't say why. I'm just not. I feel like driving in the light of day instead of like a doggone vampire. I've learned in the life to always follow my gut instinct, SO, I think I'll just leave at first light tomorrow morning. I'll get there no matter which way the cut goes.

I still haven't heard yet whether or not I've been approved for the MRI. I'm just going to go to work and hope for the best. I refuse to worry about this.
Roto, do not worry! It won't add anything except misery & depression over something that's not a definate anything yet. It's just a lot of question marks right now & there are so many minor things it could be. The bright side is that you've made the decision to find out what this crap is that's been such a pain in the a..., you're taking charge of it, & you are now running it down & getting rid of it.
I refuse to refer to this RA as mine. It's not mine. It does not belong to me. I did not ask for it, buy it, inherit it (there is no history of it in my family), pick it up off the street or anything else. I do not claim in any way that it belongs to me. It is an parasite squatter that has tried to lay claim to what actually does belong to me, & that is my life. I totally reject it. I don't worry about it. I continue with my life as much as I can, & I push myself to not give in to the fatigue & pain. I know when I've hit that place where I have to stop or I'll hurt myself, but I don't let myself not do something just because I don't feel good. I seldom feel what someone else considers good. I can't do what I'd like to do, but I can do more than I feel like doing. I'm not letting this take over my mind, my attitude, or my joy. I'm going to chase it & anything else that tries to take over, down & kick it out. And Dr.s are one of my weapons. They tell me what's going on & help me disable it or get rid of it.
Go on the attack girl! Hunt it down & kick it's a..!

Morning All. Hope everyone has a great day. Iffy, I'm jealous. Can't wait to get one that's easy to fly. I have a Parrot AR 2.0 but it's an earlier version and is hard to fly plus, it really likes indoor/no wind and my living room isn't big enough and has a 50" Pioneer Plasma TV on the wall over the fireplace that I really would prefer not to break. :lol:

It's not mine. It does not belong to me
Nobody could of said it better.
What an "uplifting" read and the only attitude to have.
You were not talking to me, but it's changed how I feel this morning.
Thank you for reminding me that I can change my own situation .. sometimes I forget I'm "Captain of the Ship"

Mine is knees and hips this morning. Doc says my hips hurt from compensating for my knees but, I'm beginning to doubt that. I have been waking up in the morning with pretty significant hip pain lately. Osteoarthritis is rearing it's head in several places it appears. :rolleyes:
Kenna, I will continue to keep you in my prayers and absolutely love your attitude. I can learn a lot from it.

If your first impressions are good, a spare batt or two is in your future purchase history so that you don't have to wait for recharging before flying again.

Being an hopeful optimist, I also ordered four extra batts.
Being a tinkerer, I ordered ball bearings to replace the bushings.
Being a realist, I also found a source for replacement motors.

Was surprised how rea$onable common replacement parts are. Hopefully, I can minimize those expenditures!

... if you achieve that goal I will issue to you the coveted but ubiquitous "better than Dave" certificate...

Now there's an esteemed reward! Fear that I'll have to spent a lot more money for advanced electronics to even get close to your aviation ability.

May the wind be at your back!
May there be no wind if and when you take it outside!

Thank you, Dave!

Ha! Take that Mr Meteorologist!! Rain was supposed to start last night, and drown is for several days, talking about flash floods, 2" per hour at times etc etc. Bout an hour ago the rain started.........stopped 5 minutes later. Now we may get more of course, but already it's not been nearly as bad here as they said it was going to be.

I understand about the plasma TV. I would be like the pilot that had his plane in the only tree in the pasture. Or Charlie Brown and his kite.

Changes in barometric pressure will cause my body to go into shut-down mode.

Yeah, our ground is damp, so it at least sprinkled here.

Having beaten the Reaper at least three times, I try and remember that every day above ground is a good day .. while the compressed disks and the arthritis in my hands take away much of the joy of life on many, many days, and have helped slowly rob me, bit by bit of things I loved to do, I cannot and will not succumb .. my inspiration comes from folks that have it much worse than I ..

Some years ago, when I hit 60, I told my DR that it was a very depressing day for me .. he asked why .. I said because it drove home the fact that I am closer to the end than the beginning .. he said, you should congratulate yourself .. I asked why .. he said, because you did not die young ..

Each day is a gift, how we choose to spend it remains in our hands, regardless of what age you are, walk of life, etc .. the main thing is, just make it count ..

Code reader confused as well?

(Maybe it's just the driver nut...)
Heh, truck runs perfectly. Purrs like a kitten, runs like a bear. First thing... tune up. Uh huh. How's a vehicle that runs perfectly need a tune up? But $650 later... a block up the road... check engine lite on.

Thank God the barometer has no effect on this for me. I do have flares ups, which are usually stress related d simply mean it hurts a little worse at the moment.
