Morning all

When I was trying to figure out my vacuum problems back in 2021, I almost
bought an electronic conversion I saw detailed over at CF-C3tech.
Pretty slick looking operation, and about an afternoon R&R. If and when my
next round of vacuum problems pop up, I'll definitely go that route.

Have a good one.

Morning Nic

I met him when we were loading your car and he was promoting the conversion kits that I believe he makes. Mine are still vacuum operated but the electric ones would be nice add especially if your engine doesn't make as much vacuum to operate them (cam change) as before. Since your car is more modified than stock, go for it!

They say that she has three different organs with infections. The staff in the hospital can't determine the cause so they are having a big-time specialist see her this afternoon.

She will cook on her seldom good days. We would starve if I don't do most of the cooking. I like to cook so no problem.

Just got home from the hospital. Specialist was an older gentleman with lots of questions. Of course he ordered more tests. Have to wait until tomorrow to get some of the results.

Guess it will be burgers and beers. Two of each. Well, one more beer while grilling the burgers.

After 2 days or so Bear had enough and gave me the squeak test(step on your chest and if you breathe or make noise you're alive get up). He laid in bed with me most of Tuesday and Wednesday. Felt better Wednesday but not good, Thursday late fever started to return and by Friday morning I was sick as hell with a head cold. That has finally let up late today however.... I got hives again this evening.
I really wish I could go a week so half ass healthy.

And I didn't have as bad of a week as others...
Friend up north in hospital twice now the past week.
Some new diabetic shot and the sedation from a quick stomach procedure completely stopped his insides. The last trip they just gave him pain meds, he knows a top notch doc will be getting a call Monday, hopefully he gets relief and soon.

I talked a friend into getting his prostate checked out... Well he has cancer in it and spread to his pancreas also.

Not been a good week...

Anywho... Have a good evening people.
Hang in there sir. You are still here, and fighting it.

These bastards flare up at bedtime... Both arms wrapped in gauze mostly to keep itching down. Makes sleeping about impossible otherwise.
Hoping another day and they're 95% gone.

Try OTC aloe with LIDOCAINE in it, will numb the itching. Can use with all the other stuff you are using. So sorry you are going through all this crap!
