Hey,AK, and all you thinkers- Ive been tagging along at a distance, but your question give me pause to catch up a bit- this knee replacement has been a dandy!- the dr. told the mrs. that there was LOTS of swelling in there!- it looked as if they put a honey dew melon in there.
It moves well, but, dang!- then the pain meds locked up my guts- i had to go to the ER two days after surgery, - they pumped me full of water and give me some sodium-somethingrather, im still trying to re regulate from that. Cant take any thing stronger than tylenol now- makes for restless nights. Rehab has been good, so far- the weather- not so much- you warned us a few weeks ago, AK!-
Anyway- glad to hear youre all still ticking, fellers, keep your whistle wet and your powder dry!- ill follow along, keeping you lifted! Peace to all!

I was looking at this last night and was wondering how long the belt life for the cams is good for. That is a big belt and it's all together as one. I was thinking that someone would come out with a bulletproof chain (noisier but still) system for an upgrade? Looks good other than that belt

I hate the swelling after surgery. When I did my back it was swollen big time. Luckily it went down a week or so later. It was really uncomfortable as hell. I hope you get better Bear. Did you see where Ibprophin is not good for men reproductive systems. I read that today. Not good.

Snort!- ha,ha!- at my age im not worrying about reproduction!, the mrs. was spayed years ago- my blood pressure meds probably effects me more anyway ,besides, i use naproxen mostly
, but before and for another 6 wks., i cant use anything but tylenol- it will take several months anyway.-
Sometimes i wonder if these studies are really based on real world doses,- heck, with enough time and amounts, you could cause cancer with about anything!
Time to turn in,AK, ill catch up again later!

Well, i guess you told us your love life Bear. LOLOL

Get better dude and I hope 2018 works for you and your family.

Now guys, it's 2018 and time to finish our projects from last year. Lil Red will be done this year and I'll be a happy camper. I'm also pulling my motorhome out of the storage and going on some trips this year. Time to get out and enjoy the golden years, as they say.

I won't be traveling in the lower 48 this year, but next year, I'm doing the cross country travel fiasco. I may be in the KC area. Hell, why not. It is part of the USA, right? lol

Well if you are going I70 you'll run straight through KC. I435 to Roe and about two miles south is one of the Joe's. Another one is down I35 at 119th street. Just don't eat at noon or 5-7pm, there's always a line out the door.
