Yeah, I'm gonna get the Fourney. I can get it through our company supplier for $620 + tax. The company gets Miller but I ain't that Geico money man so no to Miller.
That's great! From what I've read, the Forney 140 and 190 do alright. The MP's (Multi Process 140/190) versions are favorites of many. The 190 will weld 304 stainless without a problem. Both will weld 400 series stainless, -like factory exhaust....which are 400 series usually.

Yea, I wish I had a Tweco gun on the 140 Hobart. My little Harbor Freight welder has a Tweco gun set up....so that welder isn't completely useless lol.

Frankie gets no love tonight. But, the back of the F150 is full again.
Guy I work with has a great solution for this for his kids...

Mainly for the living room but works all over the house.

He has a box in the room and anything they just leave lying around rather than put away gets put in it.

If its still in there at the end of the week then they obviously don't want it so it's disposed of

Funnily enough, after the 1st couple of bits went missing, the box is normally empty... lol

Uggggh....
I don't wanna hit the like button when someone says that may have something that could be really bad. That sends a mixed message.
So I'll just say I wish you well and good luck.

I may need to employ this tactic.

Sucks about the possible tumor, but I'm checking for bump now. My left shoulder blade does that sometimes, hurts, it may last for a week or so then go away. Comes and goes. Tell me, WTH is in the shoulder blade that can hurt like that ? The little woman thinks it a nerve, but it's right there on top of it.....weird. Guys don't get breast on the flip side do they?

I'm not feeling now, maybe that's all yours is white, pinched nerve or something. But yea, uncomfortable.

Scapular or Scapurothoracic bursitis. I been there. Per the (very cute) physical therapist I saw for it, it can be seasonal, It can be from changes in the shoulder workloads, or just from bad posture.
Than again, I'm no Dr or PT so it could something else or just be Dermatobia hominis.



Yeah, I had to look that one up.

Yea, probably has something to do with push-ups and sitting half on/half off the kitchen chair once in awhile....bad habit.

There are "fatty tumors" that run on my Mother's side of the family. Also cancer on that side... well, just found out there's cancer on both sides now. But yeah... the Wife told me about the "tumor" a couple months ago, and I just ignored it. SOB is starting to itch now, and she says it's a bit bigger now. My doctor is quite thorough, so that's why I am headed to her first. She's the one that figured I had a damned infection last October, NOT Covid. I'm still peeved about that mess.

Well, that was a fun trip. Got home from North Pole yesterday. Rainy as hell going up even snow in parts. You would never have thought it was snowing at Healy this early. Yesterday it was beautiful, sunny, people out rafting, sightseeing, etc. It was a great trip back. Going up not nearly as much. lol My freaking ribs got beat up on the trip up. Not coming back though. The rain made spots very rough where they were working. They were all repaired by the time I came back through, so it was nice. I made a great time coming back and Sonya gave me 27.8 mpg. All in all, pretty damn nice return trip.

I go away for 6 days and come back to ill people, tumors, scapular nerve pain, people drying out from Ida, etc. Did I dream this weekend? LOL

Hope all are okay and the diagnosis is favorable to each.
