Webmaster SW Chicago Burbs 22802 Posts Member since: 2008/1/7 0:00	Good Morning CGs! Stayed up too late last night reading superram installation threads from the past. Lots of good ideas out there. I think I'm going to start a "super superram mega info thread" that includes all the different styles of installing it. Some people drill and tap the runners in different spots, stud them, safety wire, nylock, etc. Aside from that, I was still up early out of habit. Got a few things cleaned up around the house already. Pretty easy compared to when the kids are "helping" by taking out everything you put away. I have a few outdoor projects today as well. What's on the agenda for you CGs? Hope everyone has a great day! Matthew

I just could not get comfortable and my mind was running about 80 mph. (drugs slow it down) I've taken my pain meds and the a achiness has eased a little. Just took off the bandage from the incision. The first time off. They use a new type of bandage that stays on for the week. The incision looks great. Once in heals completely, it will be barely noticeable. No stitches, no staples, looks good.

In slightly more glamorous news, the plan for my birthday weekend (coming up) is to drive all three of the Corvettes. No big trips this year - just around the 'burbs.

It's big Tuesday so I will need to get going and will cover about 270 miles or so today. So that is what I'm doing....and I better get to doing it. Let's roll Guru's........

As with anything, minor mods are required. That of course, and finding one. Depending on condition, etc they run 800 to 1200 used. Matthew

It looks worse than it is, because of the marker line they used to "guide" the incision. The purple marker they used makes the incision looks worse.

Not that anything was hugely different, but that she reiterated yesterday's diagnosis. I did gain another degree each way (3 and 95 now). She also said that she wanted to show me how to use one crutch. After a couple trys I'm down to one crutch now for most of my walking.

Chair-man of the bored Homestead USA 33758 Posts Member since: 2007/12/10 0:00	Hello gang. Wifey asked me to asist on a project dealing with moving a sculpture. This is a massive peice and was asked by her #1 client if she would move it. My wife gets all kinds of oddball jobs she takes them. This artwork is 8' high and about 20' long. 11 parts bolted together made of aluminum. She broguht me in to help lay the base. Suddenly I'm a sculpture placement consultant. I told her and the owner how I would do it and was dismissed. I asked her if she marked the bases so each base could be put back in it's same position. I was told the four bases were the same. (They're not, trust me). Striking out on two of my observations I started telling her how she can go about fixing it when she goes to install it. She begged me not to talk about it saying she didn't want to be dreaming about the assembly. She disassembled everything just fine. Most of it will be a cake walk. It's the base that will be the pita. Anyway, the base is set. Next test won't come till we start reassembly. So Matt ... What exactly is normal? I don't even try to figure out what that might be. Do you want to know why? Because everything I know is wrong ........
