Each day is different. Day prior often dictates how the next day goes... So if I don't do too much, I'm alright pain wise.

I don't disagree with that, just isn't much I need to travel into St Paul for.

Just a zipper, no big deal!

I have something called Chiari Malformation (brain is too low into my neck/spine essentially.) So surgery was done to cut/cauterize herniated tonsils that extend from brain into neck and were slowing/stopping spinal fluid from flowing. A few other things were done as well, but that is the bulk of it.

I avoid Mpls/St Paul as much as possible. Enjoy the Wild game!

Vince, go to apple.com, they claim to have phones for a decent price if you trade in an iPhone (not sure how old your current phone is.)

Have good days and bad. Off work until late January, and that may be too soon. Still struggling with headaches, pain, weakness, spasms/tremors. First picture is 2 weeks after surgery. Second is 1 month.

Agree on this statement... As someone who just had brain surgery, and who had CSF issues, take it seriously!

Best wishes going forward. Terrible news to hear as a parent. Prayers for a speedy recovery.

I've wanted a 96 GTS since they came out!

D for dummy!

M-Drive or rowing gears in the Mack?

Look to have decent reviews. I run Blizzaks on wifes vehicle and Hankook ipikes on my car. They all perform better than all seasons! I'm a big snow tire fan.

What year is the Viper in the driveway?

Exact truck I would order for myself!

I had brain surgery less than two weeks ago, and was shocked on the lack of pills I was offered. I don't take pain pills, but surgeries in the past they often prescribed 100 pills without even asking! I still prefer Tylenol and Ibuprofen vs opiods!

I had 3/4 concussions before the age of 10, and have had issues since. Mine are worsening, so time to do something about it. Mine is called Chiari, basically tonsils on the cerebellum are blocking fluid from flowing down my spine and back to brain. So they make more room by opening up the skull and cutting/cauterizing the tonsils. I fly to NY to see a specialist, not going to mess around with a neurosurgeon who has only done a few of the surgeries!

Mine is due to increased cranial pressure. So either having a shunt installed to relieve pressure, or part of the back of my skull will be removed to make more room for my brain, thus relieving pressure. Having a bolt/probe inserted into my skull to test pressure, and depending on results will dictate the next step. Mine is congenital most likely!

Best of luck with treatment. Headed for brain surgery in 3 weeks myself. Take it one day at a time!

Grab a cooler, a lawn chair, and head to the boat ramp on a Saturday. Pure comedy all day long!

I'm spoiled driving an automatic Volvo, don't miss shifting, especially in an old FLD! Best of luck with the new gig.

Watch out for sleep apnea as well!

I can't wait to stop trucking, but good luck with the new gig! Lots of trucking jobs out there. We can't hire anyone worth a shit, most don't last, and many can't even pass the application/background process.

I see some VW Atlas in the front end.

Do you use biodiesel in your state? In Minnesota we drop from 10% to 5% bio during the winter months. Then blend #1 as the weather gets colder. I haul gas for a large convenience store chain here in Minnesota. Next spring Minnesota is mandating 20% biodiesel May-September.
