Default It hurts to type.........

Hello my friends. Just back from my 4th carpal tunnel operation this morning. All I have left now is three trigger finger releases that will be done next month.

I have cursed hands......lol. 39 years old and I have a arthritis that should only occur in my senior years.

Doc told me no more comp typing for a few weeks. It's tough, VERY tough to ignore this place. I missed a lot of posts. And my g/f hates that it's the home page....LMAO. She lost that argument too.

Anybody on this sire ever have a nerve conduction test (EMG), where they shock you and cram you full of cathode needles? Just curious, I've had 6 of them. I think I get turned on by electrocution now. JUST KIDDING.


So while recovering, I have been reading these articles about "dual clutch transmissions". The tranny durability increases tremendously by design alone.

This sure seems the way to go for towing AND for cruising. Have Borg-Warner make a version that is adaptable to our 46/47/48 trannys. Let it bolt right up and have the same length to it.Keep it a 6 speed automatic. Now tac on a Gear Vendor over/underdrive unit to it and you have a 12 speed transmission. Pick the gear that let's you pull while maintaining reasonable EGTs.

It's almost idiot proof.

Anyway, sorry I don't get to post as much. I'll be back in a few days. I miss all of you..

Man, were all in the same boat!

Me and my dog got "attacked" by a friggin pit mix two nights ago. Only wayI could get him off my dog was putting myself between them. The friggin thing latched onto to my left forearm, then chomped again on my left hand.

Then it was MY TURN!

I got ahold of this things collar, had two fists full of neck and collar and went Mua Tai on his ***. He got loose after the third knee to the ribs and took off runnin'.

My dog got his ear chomped a bit and his hip is sore (he's a 9 y/o Shep mix).

Yeah, no $hit! I hate seeing any dog just running loose, but especially those things.

Took the skin off the knuckle yesterday rolling in mains and putting in cylinder packs. Why do they have to make those mounting flange edges so sharp?

DAMN Demon I'm really sorry to hear how bad things really are. I hope this operation fixes the problem. That really sucks !!

Well .... you guy's have jinxed me. I ripped a nice piece of skin off of my pinkie this morning helping some guys unload a moving conveyor belt. Just stopped bleeding about an hour ago. [:@]
