Wow...You may have said in the past and if I missed it I apologize or maybe you would rather not say but is this all due to a hereditary/congenital condition or did you suffer an injury of some sort? Either way I hope these surgeries give you relief and that the next one is the last one you’ll need.👍🏼✌🏼
I have a few different "conditions" but the brain/neck stuff is related to chiari malformation. I have a connective tissue disorder that is the root cause, and the collagen (glue) that holds our bodies together is failing, so my joints, organs, etc is more lax than normal. So in the past 4+ years I've had both first ribs removed, brain surgery, skull to c2 neck fusion, and now a styloid removed in my skull/jaw. In a few months the left one will be removed as well. I will have more surgeries in the future, likely more brain/neck surgery as needed. It's been a journey, but I am better than some, and grateful to live in a country where I can travel for specialized care.

Damn...more head/neck surgery? Hang in there.✌🏼🌞
Had a bone removed called a styloid. Pressing on cranial nerves and jugular vein/carotid artery. Had my 3rd ICP (intracranial pressure) bolt to monitor the pressure in my skull. In March or early summer I will go back to NY and have my left side done and another bolt to continue to monitor my pressure.

It can always be worse man, that is all I can say.
Agreed. It’s how I look at many things after the past 4 years of my health (just came back from NY after another surgery). Get out and enjoy life, nothing is guaranteed!

Anybody priced used diesel pickups lately? Prices are just as absurd as sleds!

I flew into Philadelphia Monday for surgery in New York today, to avoid NY restrictions, how quickly things change!

I’ve been looking at the mini as well, plus it’s much cheaper! Tired of these large iPhones.

It’s the year 2020, we can send humans to space, vehicles drive themselves, airplanes can land themselves, yet we still can’t find a universal voting system for every state?
So what is your idea for a “better” system.

Is it possible she is laying the ground work to oust Biden and put Harris in should they win?

Heard the same lawyer that got a win for nick sandmann took Rittenhouse case pro bono
I'm sure he will get a % if Rittenhouse wins civil cases.

He’s not only going to get off he’s going to make bank
It will pale in comparison to the 20 million (12 from city, 8 GoFundMe) for Breonna Taylor, and 14+ million Floyd's family has made from GoFundMe already, plus once the family settles with the MPLS police department.

I'm a big Marco fan, although he sucks.. haha,..I feel I have to root for him, was such a fan of Mario, Nigel Mansel, Senna, Schumacher..those are the guys that I watched as a kid and got me into racing..Love the open wheel racing,..so precise
Exactly the same open wheel guys I watched growing up (Mario was getting old though).

NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace will be leaving Richard Petty Motorsports after the 2020 season, he announced on social media Thursday.
"This was not an easy decision as I have nothing but the utmost respect for Richard Petty and his family, but I believe it's time for someone else to take over the reins of the No. 43," Wallace said in a Twitter post.
"Thank you to the King and everyone at Richard Petty Motorsports for giving me the opportunity to start my Cup Series career. I've grown so much as a driver and as a person since joining them. We've got nine more races together, and I hope we can finish the 2020 season on a high note."
RPM said it will announce a new driver "in the near future."
Wallace has yet to win a Cup race during his three seasons driving for Petty.

Seeing more and more Tesla’s/electric cars at car shows, still an unusual site for me!

I made an offer on a bar/restaurant this week that my wife has wanted for years. My life is almost completely set and I’ll be middle class and comfortable until I die. All the bitching you read from me is my concern for the future generations and what I see as the outright theft of their wealth
Are you sure a bar/restaurant is a wise investment for your health and sanity?

Always ran duratracs on the work truck. Had intentions of putting some Goodyear MTR’s but after reading MC’s thread I chose something else today. Got 8 work trucks and numerous big rigs that will get tires over the next year. No more Goodyear’s unless they change their hate filled policies
We have great luck with Michelins on our semi's, so don't rule out Michelin!

You might say a "gape changer". RAM ftw.
How do you like the truck? I've had my eye on a 3/4 ton (prefer 1 ton) at the local dealer with the 6.4. Basically stripped work truck, but still would go from a-b!
