I raced my 2009 Z06. It sucked. 4 year old street tires on a garage queen don't equate well to a fun autocross event. I'm at that point where I have 90% of my tread left, but it's time to swap out the tires. Very disappointed today.

Running GWiz's car tomorrow. :hurray:

You are correct! Was nice to be at the track again, albeit in small numbers for CDC's sake.

Staring out the window was the only reasonable activity here. 106 with a 108 heat index. Pool water just over 89 degrees.

For the first time in about a year and a half, we had a Saturday where we could just do what we want. Went to Mt. Dora, small town in the next county, for lunch. Just wondered around for a bit after.

I repaired our treadmill & put .01 mile on it just to make sure the repair worked. (My wife uses it, not me)

I later baked some banana bread & probably walked another .01 mile around the kitchen gathering ingredients.

Crohns?

Yes. Going on prednisone now. My BP also shot up to 140/100 starting Tuesday. Sometimes down to low 90’s diastolic. It’s been a bit crazy. I’ve never had BP issues always controlled with meds. Docs are worthless.

Don’t want to bring anyone down but I read threads like this and it makes me realize how ****ed up my life is. I would give anything to just “do stuff”.

Hopefully I’ll hit remission soon. I’m going to go to a liquid only diet stating last night.

Instead of Driving 25 miles to Chicago for fine Dining, Drove 2 hours and 15 minutes to Indianapolis . . .

Indy was ghost town, no tourists, only a few others dining out, only people in streets were the homeless . . .

This New Normal Sucks, bon appetite'

I know people with crohns, one just had surgery because of it.
Kinda puts a damper on entertaining folks for hours.
It's terrible, I can empathize. :angel:


Bolded:
As terrible as you have it; keep in mind somewhere there's a quadriplegic saying the same thing, and somewhere there is a young man and woman burying a child.

Creeper handle extensions. The creeper on a Cub cadet has a low and high range. The early "Narrow Frame" tractors had a lower tunnel over the driveshaft than the later Narrow Frames. This extension made the previously made creeper handles work on the taller tunneled lawn and garden tractors.

The parts are 9/16" in diameter, the reduced diameter is 3/8", are 3-1/8" long and both ends have 3/8-24 NF threads.
