Gotta love rough-neck humor, “I HEARD THAT!” gave me a chuckle.
The Panther and STUG are clearly light infantry tanks, mainly for
support and mid-range assault of stationary positions. A perfect fit
for a smaller pilot/gunner.
OW! Teresa! I’m not much taller… 😛
That shut them up, for the moment anyway. Katrina is going to be
like Teresa at this rate “I grow tired of teaching a lesson” over and
over, but teach enough, word gets around.
I had my stress test today, I can’t do the treadmill so they gave me
5 shots of different stuff. And a radioactive dye to do a MRI style
machine “hug” to take pictures. I don’t understand much of the
report, but it seems I have minor heart damage and angina. History
repeats? I have no clue when I could have had an attack…
I had told my son about the test so he came over to talk about it.
He thinks it was when my father passed, I do remember feeling
sick and having to go lay down while they removed him. I just
thought it was the stress.
They did tell me these days they no longer need to split the chest open to fix
things in the heart, open heart bypasses are a thing of the past. In the early
2000’s they were using the “panic” shot, AKA Epinephrine, to do the chemical
stress tests. Now they make your body think you’re having to breathe heavy
due to physical stress. Not as jarring. PC, let us know when your test is, it
sounds like my father and I in your case.
Both you and PC watch yourselves healthwise.
I’m 83 and didn’t know I supposedly had a stroke.
I couldn’t drive for 30 days i took my eye test
and passed. The Optometrist said I was good to go.
I am still not convinced about the stroke. I have a link implant
until December and it reports everything to the Dr.
Nothing big so far, they haven’t called me yet.
Spring and lawns and hedges need looked after so….
I hear that, every single tree on our land has been dropping branches and I
need to trim back the pines in the yard, their branches have grown out so
much that wild rabbits are making nests under the one by the front porch. I
don’t want them to chew up my sister’s flowers… Plus I hate the needles
scratching up my arms on the mower.
You watch yourself Paul, Those can be very sneaky. I remember watching a video
about a guy working out at the gym, when he tried to pick up a 20lbs weight, he
couldn’t move it. Thinking someone was pranking him, he called it out and someone
else walked up and lifted it. The the new comer looked at the guy and noticed his
face was sagging, and then the guy started to feel dizzy. He suddenly fell over and
911 was called. My uncle was 80 and had his second one because the pharmacy
screwed up and gave him the wrong blood thinner… He didn’t make it.
I have a pole saw and hedge trimmer
as well as the normal versions.
I have a very sturdy A frame ladder
for my big hedge it is 60′ long 11′ high
and 10 wide Cedar. I want o do
this as long as I am able to.
If you say you can’t you won’t.
This might be my last year,
but that’s why you have grandkids.
We’ve got hedge trimmers but this pine is hard, they just stop it.
I’ve got a battery 6″ saw and a gas 12″ to cut them with. I’m just
being careful until I know what the doc’s plans are. I’ll lop off all
the limbs to about 4 feet up so I can get right up to the trunk.
The maple’s are the real problem, every single tree has saplings
growing at the base and even if I cut them at the ground they just
sprout branches. My father used to call them “weed trees” because
fire is the only way to kill them off.
weed tree cutting… on fresh cut, brush on kerosene or diesel…
NOT gas.! let sit for an hour, then paint over cut. fully sealing
cut. with oil based paint.
Do Not use on any “bearing” plant. as it will taint the flavor.!
Naa, no fruiting trees, just a variety of pines and maple
with a few cottonwood. My kid sister was trying to raise
a few but none survived the winter. We have a large torch
we use along the fence line, now that we are out of the
livestock part of the farm, it’s mostly used around the
sidewalk. it’ll work, it’s how I killed the maple “bush” that
was growing by the pasture fence.
Another trick is to place a piece of copper wire under the bark. That’ll kill the offending
tree or bush in due time.
Some I know of just used a copper nail… the tree didn’t get any leaves the year after.
Thanks, I’ll look into it, I hate using the sidewalk torch,
it might damage the adult tree as well. If I can find any,
(fires up Amazon)
Beware that the “copper way” takes ALL that has a common sap-supply so if your aim
is to get rid of the small shrublings and you use the copper wire/nail solution, it kills
the mother-tree too.
OMFG!! Cracking track is difficult enough.
But to crack a muddy track, in a mud pit,
will be nigh impossible. Especially for
green grunts.
My sympathies to all involved.
The closest I’ve ever come is
changing a split-rim 5T truck tire
(AGAIN!!) on a misaligned truck.
I hear that, the whole reason they let me drive that D-9 was 2 guys
were trying to fix the track and didn’t have a come-along so they were
trying to use pry-bars and muscle. Not working. So I grabbed a ratchet
strap off the trailer and fed the hooks into the tread and started
cranking. They still had to help, but it worked 🙂
Yes, it was muddy, I looked like I spent
a weekend mud-dogging on my bike LOL.
I did some looking up, seems my heart is over-working itself.
normal output is between 50 to 70% and mine is running at
78%, possibly due to heart damage. My father had an enlarged
heart and damage, so I guess from what it’s saying I might
need a pacemaker… grrr.
Also this:
“A small, focal, or mild defect in the apical inferior wall (the bottom tip of the heart)
on a nuclear stress test usually indicates an area of reduced blood flow (ischemia)
or minor tissue scarring. It often implies a small, localized issue, frequently affecting
less than 5–10% of the heart muscle.”
That wasn’t there 6 years ago, so it’s recent damage. But it was caught early
so I’m not in a dire situation, but an annoying one. Sigh… I know it’s stress,
I was on the phone with my elder sister, just trying to be “diplomatic” had
my heart pounding. If you guys knew her, you’d know why it is so hard.
Lets put it this way, when I hung up I had to wipe my
ear, it felt like a diseased moose had been licking it… heh.
Is her name Karen?? HEH
LOL, no, but it should have been. She switches between acting entitled,
needy, demanding, to being sickly and wanting help. Then frustrated
when anyone changes the subject off of her.
twins… add gold digger,. an you have my Karen of a sisiter.
I found out that when I was a baby she
tried twice to smother me with a pillow…
We hadn’t heard from her for 10 years
and after my father passed she wanted
to “reconnect,” so yeah gold digger.
No update today. Sorry.
Please do not worry about the update.
Worry about yourself and get better.
We will be here.
What Paul said. We want you hale and as whole as possible more
than we want timely entertainment.
Please relax PC, we know you’re
having trouble and we do understand.
Are those marines in panel 4 or are they Her Own? I’d swear two
of them look like women, especially the one that looks most eager
at the prospect of getting thoroughly muddy.
Heh, I think either they are her own or navy
pilots that’s spending the weekend with the
marines, Miral did say that they do that to learn
who and what they are providing air support for.
Or there’s a few that like wearing lipstick…
Highly likely that they are Her Own. 1529:4 – that’s IMHO one of the twins.
