Had my lower back MRI this morning, herniated disc pressing on the spine. I have been referred to a spine specialist and see what they think. Also had the pics and report sent to my quack chiropractor since he's the only one who has ever been able to help.
What discs?

Parent win:

First in class day for kid tomorrow. Not only wants to ride her bike to class, but asked if I'd go with her. Figure I better take advantage before she realizes her old man isn't cool. :cupidarrow:

I have no idea where I am
he is a bidet advocate, so both
Ooh, speaking of sparkling clean butt holes, I ordered a "backcountry bidet" from Amazon to add to my poop kit. Accidentally ordered two boxes at 3 per box. Only needed one now I have 6. It definitely puts out some water pressure when connected to a 1L Smart Water bottle. Want one @Toshi ?

Plans are now currently in the works to spend the week of Thanksgiving in SHREDona, AZ with my financée, her sister, and sister's boyfriend. They're awesome, everyone rides bikes and drinks beer and eats good food, the weather will be warm enough, stoked. Desert time!
Nice. Wife and me are going to be passing through there to ride the week before thanksgiving on the way to my parents in St George.

Thanks but no thanks, AngryMetalsmith.

Jd, send me a link to the Dicom folder on Dropbox or google drive and I’ll look at that MRI. I read many a spine in residency.

Dude. You cool. No matter what the child says.
Yes.
Rode out this evening, Exo-ed another rear tire a mile from home. Back to the DD I go.
Fucking EXO. Had to check my crabon rims after a short ride yesterday because of EXO.

Imagine a socialist country where college is free and you even get some money to pay for living expenses so you can better focus on your studies. Nah, you don't want to trade FREEDOM for that, or do you? ;) :D
Well - you and I both know it's not "free" - but yeah... we need to do that, as a nation. It's completely bizarre that people here can't grasp that providing a public college education (or post-high school technical schooling) is simply a natural evolution of the current K-12 system we have. And, I might add, really necessary in an increasingly complex and technological world.

I mean - if those dumb fuckers want to be *really* consistent in their thinking, they should be calling for the dismantling of the *current* K-12 public system.

Oh, wait. :disgust:

It is about priorities. Cut the military budget and use it for education. However, this will never happen. Educated folks won't vote for certain political parties and this is where the idea ends.

Yep - we have some fucked up priorities 'round here. And you're right - fixing it appears to be a dead end. :mad:
Until we can freely buy chard at our local purveyor without being castigated. Then and only then can we mend our society. The remaining members of Led Zeppelin and the Beatles will have to join together with remaining members of Black Sabbath. As a super group for Chard fest. Ian Gillan is still alive. I always liked him better then Ozzy anyways...
