What's up today (bullchiting) thread.

Its been a crazy week. Way too much going on during the work days, but I was able to get home a little early on Friday and dropped the boat in the water. We took a fantastic evening cruise on it, then I managed to throw my back out somehow putting the cover on it when I was done. Spent yesterday on the couch, and thankfully feeling much better today. Got some of yesterdays missed work done this morning, then down to the water for a little while before the weather came in.

 

Bingo!
Thank you.

 

You n the neighbors should get together and order a whole truckload then....that would really sod-omize 'em

 

Hey Hoarder’s. I’ve been off the board and dealing with the eye issues I’ve been having. Went to the ophthalmologist because I was getting severe eye pain. It was so bad I was vomiting from it. He sent me down to the ER where I spent 11 hours on Thursday and five more on Friday. Two MRIs and two C/T scans with and without contrast. Blood tests like I’ve never seen too. The upshot is that I had third cranial nerve palsy. Something cut off the blood supply to the nerve that controls my left eye movement. They were looking for stroke, tumor, aneurysm and anything else. They could not conclusively say what happened. I still had bad pain up until yesterday. Now, I just have double blindness that’s about the worst I’ve ever had. Even with one eye patched I’m having balance issues. I’ve been off the iPad because the screen is not comfortable to look at it for any length of time. I want to thank everyone for the kind words when this first started. I could be in for anywhere from 3-8 months of this. And that’s providing it does heal. I’ll jump on here as I feel up to it.

 

God’s speed healing up Al! We are ALL rooting and praying for you our friend!

 

Looks great !

 

Thanks...still runs great too...just has the 5.4 V8, but my buddy brought it back to me from his shop in Tennessee and he said it averaged ~10 MPG even with towing 6k (their wheels for the weekend and ride back home) up through the WV mountains...heck, it will only do 16-17 MPG highway when empty!

 

X2!

 

I hope they can do something for you Al, we'll say a prayer.

 

brenndatomu, the truck looks incredible....well worth the wait for the price! Congrats my friend!

 

I can't imagine the hell you are putting up with. I know you are stuck with it. Given time, lets pray you will be free of that pain and have you vision back.
Do whatever the doc says. we will keep in touch.

 

How many miles do you have on that beautiful work horse beast?

 

180k on the truck, roughly 80k on a Jasper reman engine...don't recall now for sure what the PO said happened to the original engine...seems to me it was something to do with an employee and fluid levels...

 

That was an easy one. The c pillar width is a dead giveaway for those.

 

Seats huh? Gotta be due to the foam would be my guess. The Foam industry was hit hard the severe cold in Texas the other month.

Also if the seats are the hold up, they can swap a different seat on mine until they get the correct one.

 

I hope the worst is behind you and and it self resolves. We'll be here when you are able to join us - otherwise just take care of yourself.
