Thanks i need to put the trim in the freezer for a bit. I forgot last night.
Hydro I dont ever get on facebook. It is the dumbest shit ever conceived.
I am going to try and get some stuff done today. I am going to lay a brick flower bed and build dog house. I would like to move the lights in the led garden too.

I don't blame you! How much snow did you end up with? I see your alive and kicking.
Still hangin' in a little snow is no bother. We have about 10" on the ground.
I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving. Now getting ready for Christmas
is a whole different story.
I'm glad to see Blue Pit had a good showing in Holland.
I was also happy to see NL-5 and Afgooey and a few others making a show,
it nice to see us oldtimers hold our own with the next generation.
:peace:

Oh man its such a long story but ill try to keep it short.
I was working 14-18 hours a day a period of 3 months on a vibrating road paver standing on one leg trying to keep view cause of a dumb ass driver unable to work a crane transporting the asphalt. I started having pain in the knee. like under the kneecap towards the foot. tried different positions for a few days but the pain was too much so i went home sick over the weekend. After rest in the weekend it was fine Monday and Tuesday, wednesday it came back strong and i was unable tosupport on it. So i was sick thursday friday resting the weekend. Then felt fine and started work. When the pain came back tuesday i tried everything to keep going but then i accidently stepped into a hole and my world came crashing holy shit what a pain. Had to call the gf to pick me up where i was cause i could not use my leg at all. Went to the doctor. Doctor said it was just (Aw man cant find the word) overworking it. And i should give it 14 days of rest along with some pills. Never came back to the same work it was impossible. I was in pain constantly. So with the pain i worked on a big machine instead where i could sit most of the day. But muscles faded dayli as i was not able to walk right. Season ended and so did me working.
1 year later and a bunch of exams with MR and ultrasound. Diagnoses like chondromalacia and femoral pain syndrom, jumper's knee a doctor found out its an infected bursae causing everything. It rarely happens it becomes like cronical infected and has to be removed.
Operation was tuesday.
Had it and something chizzeled/scraped of my top chinbone tipias something. lol im so tired.
2 weeks with cage to keep it straight. And then im gonna have retraining. Dont know how long yet. Im having a meeting over phone tomorrow. But as i think ill be going a long time. i have no muscles what so ever and seems like my knee has more problems now cause of that. Knee cap pulling sideways and so. Damage to the cartilage. So im not expecting a great knee, i just wanna walk pain free.
Quick rundown. ive tried more jobs and fysioterapi running a case for working my knee off and stuff.
Hope it helps in any way. I cant think straight no more :)
Damn brother I'm sorry to hear that I hope all works out for you and is this under workman's comp because if you were operating equipment for work that led you to having your knee replaced I would SO try to make them pay for everything!!! I remember when I was hit with cancer 2 years ago and my hips started to have this excruciating pain early on in the chemo treatment, and I told the docs something just wasn't rite. Well long story short after 7+ months of chemo they announced I was in remission from stg4 hodgkins then I had to turn back around a month later and get both my hips replaced my orthopedic doc said I had avascular necrosis. I remember a guy next to me in the hospital who had just had there knee replaced and when I woke up from surgery he was in post op next to me screaming in pain due to surgery and I felt so bad but the doc said to him to keep moving his knee and he wouldn't so make sure you listen to the docs even tho the shit may hurt in the beginning, push yourself to move that knee just don't over do it bro. I'm almost to the point I wanna jump outta air planes I can move around so well now lol!!

This is the SHIT!!!

I'm almost proud of myself! :-)

Not even going to paint the aluminum, but will take them off later and sand & brush them for a nice industrial look.
But they are as solidly mounted as the original configuration, so I am very happy!

I deserve a few bong tokes...

Before the risers, I could barely see anything beyond my elbows and shoulders...
Now I can just see the ends of my elbows on the inner section of the mirrors, and none of my shoulders at all, so I am SUPER happy!
People are paying $80 for shorter risers.
This cost me $17, and I have enough material to make two sets of them.

Nice lookin bike man is that the 250cc 500cc or is it one of the liter bikes 600cc etc?

awesome Alpha :D Beautiful boy!
I think ill try that with my boy. Cant seem to get over dry itchy skin no matter what. Might help, wont hurt right? :)
1 raw egg/ 1tsp veg oil/ 1tsp olive oil mix add to 1/2 cup dry dog food. do this daily for 2 weeks and your dogs coat will shine and his skin will start clearing up. when it starts clearing up you can switch to every other day then weekly. my shepard had really dry skin and that is what i did and in a month his skin was not dry anymore. The vet told me also that is why they sell can dog food all the fat/oil in it is for the skin. So no wi always feed my new dog well she is old i rescued her 1 big can of dog food spread out over a week.

It's a 2014 Ninja 300 ABS SE.
It does pretty good for it's size regarding speed, and it does corners really good for a stock (non-SS) bike.
If I'm lucky, I'll be upgrading to a Ninja 650R in a couple of years.
I do wish I had the money for the 650R instead of the 300 (was only a bit more than $2000 extra), but insurance rates doubled and gas mileage is half of what the little 300 is.
I had a Ninja 600R in '85, and this 300 performs within about 20% of the old 600, and is almost 60-lbs lighter.
And I can squeeze about 25% more power out of it when the time comes (next winter will be getting a full Yoshimura exhaust, K&N filter, and there is a nifty bit of electronics that is a Fuel Controller/ECU,/Quick Shifter/Traction Control unit that I'll be looking into,)
But that will be after good tires to replace the stock ones, and a good rear shock, and adding pre-load adjuster to the front forks.
Then some clip-ons.
Come the first of December I'll be ordering a windscreen (a Zero Gravity "Corsa", the windscreen on the far right side, but I'll be getting the clear, non-tinted version)

Hey Doob by the time you buy all the aftermarkets you could buy the 650,(lol) Seriously your building a sweet pocket rocket. Nice bike bro.
I owned a R series Kawie a '78 1000R that was the fastest thing I've ever rode next to my wife.(lol)

I drove a stranger's heavily-modded z900r once back in 1980. Frickin' fast mo'fo'!
It's actually amazing the different rides I've ridden on that were all other guys whom I'd never met before.
Just hanging out in the street playing hackysack and dudes would be pulling in to the parking lot next to us with their bikes and we'd start up a conversation with him, and pepper him with questions.
Within a few minutes I'd always be offered a test ride.
Weird.
I've driven a nice old Bonneville 650 and a 750, a Kawi 750 triple, z900r, z1300r, various Harleys (chopped ones mostly), various Japanese cruisers, Honda Interceptor 750, Ninja 900, Ninja 750...
I love motorcycles.

at least there was some common sense in Denver

Bargain hunters punch cops and fight over Barbies in Black Friday chaos as 96 MILLION head to the shops... while Denver takes more mellow approach with Green Friday and queues for cheap cannabis

With many big-box stores opening on Thursday evening, mall crowds were relatively thin early on Friday - in a sign that the mad rush is happening the night of Thanksgiving and more consumers are picking up deals online. Center, shoppers stock up in South Portland, Maine. Residents in Colorado (right), where recreational marijuana is legal, lined up for deals on pot - in what shop owners have dubbed 'Green Friday'. Despite the apparent calm, there were still violent brawls across the country overnight as shoppers rushed to beat the competition to bargains. In Indianapolis, two people were arrested for punching an off-duty police officer in a mall parking lot around 3am, while sheriff's deputies were also called to a Walmart store in Norwalk, California after two women started fighting over a Barbie doll. Left, a young boy waits for doors of the Toys R Us to open in New York City.

Green is the new black: Colorado shoppers head to marijuana retailers for deals on 'Green Friday'

NEW Many marijuana retailers across the state - where recreational weed was legalized in January - are employing tactics more often seen during 'Black Friday'.

I can't wait to flower the girls in veg. They'll be getting their light from the new 600 and the new bulb should have better PAR than what I'm using now. I don't think the PAR values for my conversion bulb are very good. I'm basing it on the fact that I have yet to get any nice fat buds from it even though it's a 1K lamp. My plants always just seem ok with the bulb I'm using now and the buds are all small. The only plant I got any decent sized nugs from was the Lambsbread. All of my other buds are little nugs. Tight nugs but smaller than average and I feel the yield is really lacking. I'm hoping my problem is just the bulb and not that I've forgotten how to grow good weed, lol.

I had my local hydro shop clerk tell me that bulbs from different manufacturers all have the same PAR, and that PAR didn't really mean that much.
:roll:
I said, "Hmm... okay. I'll take the EYE just the same."
Plus, they're an indoor grow shop, but are focused on hydro, and they know almost zero about soil growing (they all admitted to that after being unable to answer simple product questions related to soil grows).
And I have never shopped there again.
