Daughter has been released, they checked for blood clots and found none, got the tachycardia under control, didn’t find anything new on the ct scan. Sent her home with a 48 heart monitor, to follow up Wednesday.

She has a birth defect, and they want to try a new medication before resorting to surgery. Which I agree, least invasive thing first. But it’s been dreaming on so long. Took us ten years of saying something is wrong before anyone would take us seriously.

And yes, I’ll get a text not a call. That’s how we do it, especially when we have our hands full. He’s a great guy, her bf. Taking tonight off to keep an eye on her.

Thanks for your support, folks.

View attachment 740533 They do require maintenance as in keeping contacts cleaned. But they are awesome.
I have heard NO-OX-ID Special A is good foe lubricating the threads. I just used regular grease from my gun but Noalox and NO-OX-ID are impregnated with powdered metal for better conductivity. There is also copper grease. There are different opinions on Noalox. Many people swear by it and othere say it is ineffective even damaging. I have always used some form of lubricant on the threads though.

Used just a thin coat of gun oil from my finger and then wiped, only on the bottom thread of the dreamer and cartel

Just don't combine materials that would lead to galvanic corrosion I guess. SS mod + copper paste or aluminium particle paste would be fine but a copper mod with aluminium particle paste or an aluminium mod with copper paste would likely damage themselves.

That will also work. Dielectric grease is also recommended. Not conductive but won't block the current either. I have never noticed any voltage drop from my axle grease so I don't know how much difference it really makes.

Probably battery terminal grease would also work.
The prices are cheaper too. Dielectric is used for automotive electrical parts as well. It is probably the same thing.
Y’all didn’t tell me I had to grease the darn thing :blink:. It’s going in the closet until I’ve read up on everything pertinent. Except the ammit...I’m building that tomorrow if I don’t have jury duty
Yeah forgot that... You dont have to grease it I just like to. Makes the threads sooooo smoooooth and prevents the threads from wearing out in 25 years. Take the Ammit to jury duty. It will keep you from getting bored.

I used mechs forever before I ever bothered to grease one. It just caused me to have to clean the threads more often. Usually with alcohol and a rag, lightly with a brass bore brush if I waited a bit and let it get nasty.
