Wasn't home enough for my girls way back when, worked some crazy long hours....missed a lot.

I have a chance to go fairly long, I haven't asked the question yet because they won't be able to answer it until the 14th of this month,,after the stress test. But, in general, about half of all people diagnosed with congestive heart failure will survive 5 years. About 30% will survive for 10 years. In patients who receive a heart transplant, about 21% of patients are alive 20 years later.

Guess I'm staying here, they're adjusting my medication that I have been talking since my release.. Lassics...they'll provide more assistance to the kidneys now I guess. That's exactly what mama said they were going to do...should of known.
Thank you very much Brew. Im thinking its probably a great thing that she takes after her momma. Lol

I'm going to try my best to balance everything out and be around as much as possible. My wife wanted to go part time for the first couple of years so she can spend more time with Maizie and I'm all for it. That does mean I need to take up the slack though. We will see how I do but there is no way it will be harder than when she was in nursing school with only one income.

I really hope you can get back to normal with just medication and lifestyle changes. The world would be a poorer place without you here man.

What do you want to know?

I've had an exhaust leak on the Toyota for over a year now.... I've poked around before, and hadn't been able to locate the source. Yesterday I finally found it. A ShopVac and some soapy water got me the answer I needed!

Oh, wrong movie.

Just a heads up.... ^^^ that hardens extremely fast. Not much time to work with it.

I own this welder, which has been fantastic. I recently patched a plastic tank on a radiator with it. (Comes with the welder, sandpaper for cleaning, and mesh for reinforcing - as well as a "universal" weld sticks, but it's black)

I would also suggest getting yourself a kit with several types of media/rod. This one is really good for what you pay.

I also have the hot stapler kit... I bought this for bumper repair, but it could also be used if your worried about a gap issue.
