Good to hear from you, glad to hear you're still kicking!

Been busy lately. I got a shot in my lower back about a month ago. Injection hurt like crazy but after four days it began to feel better. Had a six day shutdown two weeks later and with a little Biofreeze, made it through it. I can still feel it and its stiff when I first get up but its a lot...

I use oven cleaner on my truck windshield to remove the mill scale I get at work, it will probably take water spots off. Just don't let it get on any painted areas.

Wow! That does look great! I need one! Where did you get it from?

We've been thinking about the Purple mattress too. Our Serta is about 7 tears old and pillow top too. Probably time to replace it. We want to get a king also. I tend to wake up with less back pain when I sleep on the couch. Mattress is kinda soft. The meds help but I don't take them much...

Today the wife and I went down to the annual Stumpy Point Oyster Feast. Had a great time, ate some of the best seafood ever including fried and steamed oysters, fish, hush puppys, slaw, beans, potatoes and more. Great folks down there, always enjoy going to Stumpy Point. Its a small place, one...

Follow Skunks advise, don't cut the outer skin! The hull can twist and change its shape. I had to redo mine back in 06, cut it all out from the inside. Went back with marine plywood and polyester resin I got from Carolina Classic nearby. Turned out great, rock solid! No trouble since but I keep...

Good idea Skunk, got mine ordered last week!

Hey guys my back has got to a bearable point but still reminds me that I'll be 60 this year! Spare, it seems that the cold outside definitely makes it worse. Doing PT and a lot of stretching. Taking Gabapentin 300 mg and Meloxicam 15 mg at night before bed and Metaxalone 800 mg and Tramadol 50...

Yep, I've been wearing suspenders for years at work. Over the years I've picked up and toted some heavy stuff and tool bags. I swamped logged for 20 years, beating and slamming around in skidders, running chain saws topping and stumping trees and ran the tree cutters for 14 years, worst machine...

Went to the Spine Specialist Tuesday. He told me I have arthritis in the lower eight vertebra and that my discs are compressing some due to abuse and age, and its pinching my nerves. Supposed to start physical therapy and get a shot in my lower back. He prescribed something to calm down the...

Yep, stretching helps, walking around helps the most. Still hurts worse in the morning and at night. Ice packs help, heating pad feels good for a few minutes then starts to hurt. Trying to stop taking pain meds as I cant take them where I work. Its gotten a little less painful but hip joint and...

Yeah I thought about an inversion table, wondered if it would help. I've been sleeping on the couch and in the recliner with the heating pad. Seems like the cold pack helps for a while. Been using Biofreeze and that helps for a little while. Cant get but a few hours sleep, pain wakes me up...

I hear ya! That's what the Doc told me... Time! I took a week off and it helped alittle. I'm back at work, not lifting anything heavy. My worst times are sitting or laying down. When I get up it feels like a knife in my back and shooting pains down my left leg. Walking seems to loosen it up...

I know some of you guys have had back troubles so I'm asking your opinion. I woke up December 9th and couldn't get out of the bed, had terrible pain in my lower back, hip and left leg. I had broke my long handle ratchet pulling on some big bolts and fell on a motor about two weeks before. It...

Merry Christmas fellas!! Hope Santa Clause is was good to everyone! Hope everybody has a healthy and happy New Year!!

Yeah I saw Craftsman tools in Lowes the other day. Sears seems to be struggling with their business. I have all Kenmore appliances in our house, hope they make it through hard times. I've got warranties on everything, hope they continue to honor them.

My V is a 77 cuddy with a 170 Mercruiser. Like Scook said, be sure to drain the fresh water side of the heat exchanger! I think its the plug towards the rear under the heat exchanger. I put a petcock on mine, makes it easy and I don't confuse it with the coolant plug. Make sure your outdrive pee...

Yall come by anytime. I'm still eating leftovers! My pants are getting tight, can always count on that this time of year.

Good advise D! We've used some moisture absorbant bags we got from Lowes and they work great for around the house. They pick up a lot of moisture. Theres some out there made for boat storage too. Checked the antifreeze in all my trucks and the V today. They all were good to -34 degrees. It got...
