Had a head scratcher today at work, we put a new starter on something, started fine multiple times and ran till the propane in the line ran out.
Turned the bottle back on, no go, check the coupling, get another bottle and test that, rip a lead off and test spark, throws a 2" spark, check propane is getting to the mixer etc etc.
Sounds like it is firing on one cyl, grab the spark analyzer and only No4 is firing, replace the three month old fancy sparkplugs with cheap shitters and it fires straight up.
It didn't seem to make any sense.

coffee; kid schlepping; new counters going in today; listening in on my dad's pulmonologist appt, where they'll probably tell him he needs lung surgery (ugh); getting documents together so older kid can take his driver's test tomorrow...welp, there's the day.
As one does?
I smoked for a couple of years when I was in the Army. Doc wants to check for lung cancer.As one does?
My brother has to go for one but he snapped the titanium wire that holds his breast bones together, he had a spasm and it went pop.
Body wanted up at 5am, so I begrudgingly complied. Quick pre-work errand trip and now it's time to start the work day.
From what?
was his sternum not healed?
Yeah he had open heart surgery a while ago but he has really slow healing times because he has constant tremors.
went to sleep early and slept in until 5 instead of getting up at 3 to go ride. I needed the sleep as I feel really good this morning. Supposed to hit 100F today (again)
ah ok, that makes more sense then. surprised they went for the wires instead of the zip ties
How many packs per day and how many years? If you truly have a history you should be getting a chest CT, not a radiograph/X-ray.
/me went to sleep early, then woke up in the middle of the night partly due to that, partly due to the UPS on the workstation beeping because the power flickered overnight. So I did a half hour of work at night to get ahead for this morning.
Good morning from the past (I think it's only Tuesday here). Made some strawberry cupcakes for a friend's birthday and schlepped kids yesterday. Had our field hockey meeting (virtual with the league coaches) to set schedules and drank coffee this morning. Good times.
find any pies?
Speed traps are out. I had the chance to warn a Boomer with Kansas tags (I had just come from that way), but she almost side swiped me halfway into my lane with her head down on her phone, so I didn't. She had her head down doing 15+ over when she crested the hill. 15+ over is a felony in CO for reckless driving. Sorry, not sorry.
did she get pulled over?
good.
WTF is with all you
s getting up in the middle of the night?!?Goddammit. Now I am hungry for cupcakes.
And now I'm hungry for BBQ.
And now pie.
Mwf I get up at 0315 to start work at 0400 so for me getting up at 0500 is sleeping in.View attachment 178896

Ha, I need to remember that if I ever get back that way. 15 over here and you’ll still be getting passed. Some sections of the highway if you drive the speed limit you’ll get rear ended.
Was up late looking at cars online. Not a pretty scene out there. Yikes. It’s looking like my options are a high mileage shit box with little to no payments or brand new with lots and lots of payments. Ugh.
Maybe a pack a day and two years.
| XR CHEST 2 VIEWS | |
| CLINICAL HISTORY: Weight loss, chronic cough. | |

| The heart is normal in size. The mediastinum is unremarkable in | |
| appearance. The pulmonary vascularity is not engorged. Lungs are | |
| hyperexpanded. Findings consistent with emphysematous change. The | |
| lungs are otherwise clear, without evidence for mass, infiltrate or | |
| effusion. | |
| No suspicious osseous abnormality is identified. |
I'm not sure that I'm convinced with the emphysema read. I'm going to wait for comments from my primary care physician.
So my shoes showed up just now and damn. Etnies Culvert MTB was on sale for $60 and I had a coupon so figured why not. Holy hell these are really nice.
DAMMIT. I kinda need some new flat pedal shoes... down the rabbit hole I go.
