The Daily Rant Thread

[Lukedavis]

My rant quickly turned into a rave. I was sitting in the shop building a servo mount and I needed to cut a piece of plastic that I was going to use.
I cut it with a pair of side cutters and zinnnnnnnngggg shoots across the room, hits one of my planes, bounces off that and landed exactly right in front of me where I was sitting. That my friends was the ultimate win.

You got lucky. Around a year ago we got a brand new TV. Flat screen. I was sitting in the living room trimming a piece of plastic, it shot off the cutters and shattered the TV screen. Literally a month after we got the TV too.

I wanted to try to make it to some dirt oval races this season. I stopped racing because life got too busy. First race of the season is this Saturday...so are basketball playoff games (one for each of my kids), a friend's birthday party, and my son's first practice for Spring Little League.

Life be lifin!

so over on wHorizon, it's truck month! and apparently that means its time to buy a Micro B or 22x

I'm not saying someone needs to be fired, but at minimum they need to be called into an office and looked at like they're stupid.

apparently the Typhon is a truck to as are SXS.

Pre-rant: my expectations of the medical community are low based on my previous experience. Today I get to do a meet and greet with the surgeon who will be doing my 1st shoulder replacement....I need both. I am trying to remain optimistic, and want to believe he will have more things to say about my situation, health and well being related to the procedure, rather than the restrictions, guidelines, and hurdles put forth by the insurance company...we shall see

I've been through shoulder surgery, and got some hardware in me, but not a full-on replacement. Praying for the surgery to go well and a quick recovery!

Much appreciated, thank you. I am looking at full replacement of both, and have yet to hear my options regarding carpal tunnel....gonna be the bionic man sooner or later. Once I get enough robot parts we can talk about a 6s conversion fir a more powerful 8 ball break on the pool table.

It ain't the hardware that's an issue.. it's the hidden firmware with transponders and mini c4 charges... best of luck, I've had mine scoped and cleaned, but that was easy.

I'm not gonna touch this with a 5' cue!

My uncle had nerve issues in his hand that were fixed with a shoulder surg. I hope you get it all worked out soon!

 

[xjtorc]

Sorry…can never resist throwing that out there whenever someone is talking about shoulder injuries.

 

[Ritz413]

Gotta have a sense of humor about this stuff. Now I get to have an mri, another test I forget the name of, and a follow up with the surgeon in a couple weeks. I just enjoyed the 30mph drive home still sliding about with the 4wd on, and got to use an abomination of a public restroom. Single occupancy, still marked as "all gender" F#^$ me...lol

Worked all day yesterday, then at our store for about two and half hours, then a midnight to 4AM maintenance window. Thought I'd get out a little early today. Went and gave the work rig a bath, then pulled around for fuel, and life had other plans. LOL Blended right into the dirty pavement in the sun.

Welp, at least you have lower tire pressure now. Should have great traction!

Its not that bad. I've seen worse flat tires for sure!
Your tire is only flat on the bottom! Thats something right there!

That's a great point. The other 3/4 of it looks perfectly serviceable.

If it was flat all the way around, you'd be in big trouble!

The issue is that only the flat part touches the ground. You got a fix for that part?

 

[Guest D]

Wrong inserts dude

I do have a fix for that but you have to be able to pick up that corner of the truck and run really fast.
Its only done by the pro's these days.

it's "aired down". just drive off road and it'll be fine.
