All I want for Christmas is...

Thanks guys! I really shouldn't complain as I've been in a LOT worse places for the holidays over the years. :) And since it finally snowed yesterday here I'm starting to feel a little more Christmasy. But there is no place on earth like our own USofA.... Holidays or not!
Sorry to hear your body is actin' up on ya Randy... I "feel" your pain and it sucks. I'm on one of those "good hills" for a change and the body isn't giving me hell so I empathize with you. Get better! *virtual support sent* :)

What's up man, I saw you mention you were laid up in the other thread. Hope you're back at it soon :fingerscrossed:

Potentially bad news...I think you probably knew I had an existing back injury that kept me "in check" but still allowed me full mobility. The doctor warned me that any further injury might result in nerve damage and possible loss of arm function. Well, I ended up re-injuring it during the move, and then stupidly just kept on working through the pain. :banghead:

End result- two slipped/compressed discs in my upper back, nerve damage to my left arm, and a whole lot of pain. I have minimal strength in my left arm, can't even raise it above my head, can hardly lift a quart of milk, grip strength minimal too. They're trying to get the discs to reseat without surgery... but the prognosis for the nerve damage reversal is not good. I've already been told I'll probably never be able to be functional with my arms above my shoulders, and will have to stay away from any heavy lifting. Luckily the right arm is still OK. Still trying to sort out how this will effect my business...haven't been able to work for over a month now...:(
 
Damn brotha! So sorry to hear it got nasty. Stick with it and do what you need to to get right... all the rest of stuff will just be what it is.
Maybe it will work out for the better and you can just hire some shop monkeys to fix stuff while you tend to the smart/business related stuff? I often worry about my own back and while much of my job IS suck it up and move out... I don't want to end up used up...ya know? Sucks... wish I had better words to offer as support. Just feel better, k? :)
 
Motivation to get my 8 back on the road, it could even be in the form of a good swift kick in the pants from the Mrs.
I just got back from working away from home for 3 months, and need to catch up on things.
 
Just broke a door strap, so... some nice door check straps. I also saw some cool Drake Off Road hood hold downs that looked like they belonged on a tank, so they'd be perfect on my Scrambler. ( OUCH! Just priced them at $130, looks like I'll have to make my own...)

Would also like a ScanGaugeII, 100' 3/8" synthetic winch rope, a tablet computer, more magazines for my Sigs, D60 4.56 gears/locker/6 lug hubs....

You guys must have sent some positive vibes my way...my back felt the best it has in weeks last night! :thumbsup:

Great to hear it! I hate when the ol back is a pain in the neck! Uh... You know what I mean. ;) I had a good day myself so it must be contagious!
Its funny... My niece that is turning 11 this year sent me a card for Thanksgiving. She compared me to Capt. America which made me proud but what made me laugh was that she said she wouldn't pray for world peace since then I would not have a job. haha! Awesome!
I'd just like enough time to get both my projects done in time to get them on the boat. That will be my Christmas present for me.
And in case anyone wants a move to watch over the holidays I'd recommend "Last Ounce of Courage". Kinda a B movie production wise but it puts things into perspective in a simplified, no PC or modern lifestyle manner.

And I'd take one of Jeff396's Scrambler models too.... If only! :)

Strange, first thing I saw in that shot was the Rocket City Rock Crawlers sticker I gave you.
Awesome.

I need one of those blast cabinets so bad my teeth are chattering.


Randy, I really hope you get to feeling better soon man. Gotta be tough. Hang in there.
