We've pull started an old international harvester bulldozer... And the dump truck we were loading with it. Most things on the old farm were pretty tired. LOL

You just reminded me of an old timer (aircraft mechanic) WWII Vet, who pull started a DC-3 engine.
He threw a loop over a prop blade, wrapped the rope around the hub, tied it to a jeep and took off!

Good Morning or whatever time applies...
Last night was hell for Lady K! You see she has thyroid issues, COPD, severe scoliosis, with a kyphosis. I
She was in excruciating pain all day and her meds weren't as effective probably because of the weather.
She has a lot of such days, but some are more painful than others
I feel helpless because there is nothing I can do to alleviate her pain. It's the worst torture imaginable. She turned down a medication that contains fentayl because she doesn't want to get addicted..
I know I can speak freely here, but I'm sorry to say all this. Thanks for being here for me.

Always and forever for you Rj... You and Lady K and always in our thoughts and prayers hun.

Don't stress sharing. It's kinda what this thread is for. Good and bad. You have empathetic ears here that aren't judging or rolling eyes.

Keep us informed so we can keep you in our thoughts.

So, all you nurses out here. What or how do you treat what I'm guessing is Achilles tendonitis. Calf is sore, but below the head of the muscle. Seems to be tendon or maybe soleus. Annoying as hell, and hurts to walk. Going on a week now. Some days worse than others.

Trying gentile stretching, light walking right now.

Youth and enthusiasm rarely is a match for age and experience.

And treachery.


Lots of treachery . . . .

What's the saying about older warriors? Be wary of those who are older because they've survived all this time?

In the summer we go play bingo every other week: fundraiser for the animal rescue my wife volunteers for. I've won a few free drinks and food mostly lol

The management was traumatised by bloody Bingo. Her mum was an avid player and it was her sole topic of conversation. She moved around Bingo Halls because she regularly fell out with other players!

Reminds me of learning to drive and stalling…

My dad: (look of disgust) more gas, less clutch. (This was his stock reply whenever I stalked, which was often in the beginning)

I was learning to drive a standard, my dad kept saying keep your foot off the damn throttle. I finally had to ask him what the hell is a throttle. He answered the gas god dammit

Must not have had Coffman Starters on those.

(Coffman starter is the type of starter we got the phrase "Shotgun Start" from. Literally starting an engine with a shotgun shell).

Rest ice compress elevate. Take it easy when painful. Ibuprofen if you can tolerate.... gentle stretching and massage if not painful... I would say if it goes on or worsens make appt with doc to .make sure

Easter is coming....hope your cumming as well.

I don’t recall seeing any other posts from you on this thread so guessing this is your first. You would do well to look at the Bar Rules and read through the last few pages.

See our first post and it’s pretty basic:
No politics
No religion
No hitting on others as this is a rare forum and there are plenty of others for that,
Be respectful and supportive

As far as I can see the post is far from the norm so when you have read through our posts get the general vibe and follow it. Then you will be welcome. If not, the door is over there feel free to leave by it and go to a room that will appreciate you more!

I'm familiar with those! They're cool!

I've also used the hand-crank inertia starters. You crank em up to speed by hand, then you pull a T handle to engage the starter....
I fkn LOVED working on those old radial engines!

Matter of fact, right now, I wish I was working on an old round engine...
