I'm going to say this real fast, and then I'm leaving the forum for a while. So really it's just an FYI for everyone since I said something already.

The results of my xrays are back. Nothing is wrong with my hip. Nothing. That's the good news.

My spine is another story. I have brand new spinal problems, and it causes (or can present as) hip pain. (Isnt that odd?.. and here I thought I knew all the ways nerve pain could present itself... wrong! But that does explain the hip pain being in conjunction with my foot going numb)

Anyway, I have vertebrae that are slipping forward. . In an area that "should" be stable, because it has been stabilized (19 years ago). But... maybe it's like a car... fixing an old car once won't stop it from breaking again in 20 years... lol.

So, I'm off here for a while. I have a few things I need to deal with emotionally. . But.. I'm fine. Doing fine. I'll be fine.

Everyone here is wonderful.. all of you.

Thought some of you would like to know..
Hope everything turns out well.
Chronic pain is a 5 letter word beginning with b...

Working on it, I'm having a hard time finding something in the 0.28Ω range so I can use the tank on the PWM box.

The default deck is huge, putting anything less than a 4mm coil on it wouldn't do it and justice. I don't have any coils low enough to go with the series posts, so I popped in the Velocity posts and went with a pair of 4.4mm 8 wrap 22ga KA1 @ 0.28Ω

I should be able to find some decent sized 0.15Ω Clapton coils that I can use with the series post.

There is a lot more metal to that deck than I realized and it will retain some heat. ;)

Here is the deck in Postless, Velocity and Series. (Not my pic.)

As much as I want one, I've nothing that can handle the sheer size of that monster...
And yeah, I know, that's what she said...

Never happen with China. Our two countries are dependent on each other financially.

Besides them not doing it. All the stuff I get from China comes with a customs form that says either "electronic parts" or "metal tube". :lol:
