Any idea what this is?

Hey, my guess could have been pretty close if only it were a little closer! At least now, I know what it is.

I was way off

A lot better now, mate! Added two new stints to the collection. Blood clots creating a 98% blockage with very little symptoms. The cardiologist said it was a miracle that I didn't have a massive heart attack before they could get to me. I was thinking, "It would help if you guys worked on the weekends!" lol

I'm good now though, just got back home but I'm completely wiped out.

Thanks for asking.

Glad you're feeling better... here's a picture of my wife's sensational seven.

Middle son has two... heredity sucks!

... heredity sucks!

Tell me about it, brutha! My moms whole side of the family and my Dad's to a smaller extent all die from heart related issues. Of course, it doesn't help that I'm fat and sedentary either, but I'm working to change that.

Me too. I'm so looking forward to it

My Mom and Dad are both sporting pacemakers, I can't wait.

Eventually we'll have to start our own clique. "The Bypass Boys" or maybe "The Left Ventribros"

You can thank chatGPT for this answer cuz the modern ones dont look like this. I would have discovered this sooner but I ended up having a heart attack before I got there.

The object in the images appears to be a tire bead holder tool (also called a tire mounting assist tool), and yes — it was commonly used in the RC (radio-controlled) hobby, especially during tire mounting for foam or rubber tires on plastic wheels.

In RC use:​

When mounting tires on 1/10 or 1/8 scale RC wheels, it's common to pre-glue or glue in sections. This tool keeps part of the tire sidewall pressed into the bead channel while glue is applied around the rest.

BINGO!!!!!!!
Man oh man, that makes me feel good to remember.

I had to glue tires non-stop on our EMaxxs because they all have high powered brushless motors. In fact, my SuperMaxx requires heavy duty fish line around the tires to keep them from ballooning at high speed.

I'm going in for a heart scan next Friday, one year to the day after my sixth stent. All as the result of a horrible reaction from statins. Repatha is 1000% better than statins. Best of luck with your follow up to your new stent.

I've got 3 of em now but my problem was not taking statins plus no change in diet and exercise, so all my own stubborn fault. Gonna try and do better this time around.
