Not So Pro 3

My dad's older sister passed away early this morning, she was 74. Wasn't totally unexpected, she had been pretty sick for quite a while. She had non-alcoholic cirrhosis and broke her hip and it just spiraled from there. One thing I learned is cirrhosis is a really bad way to go. It's sad, she was a nice lady.

a woman i know died of it too and never drank alcohol in her life
but it is what killed my dad and granddad but they was alcoholics

Like everything else. Doctors are sometimes wrong. As are scientists and researchers. I've even been wrong before.

I know I have told this one on one thread or another but here goes

My dad had 2 dates written on the walls of his garage in welder's chalk

As an adult I finally asked him what those 2 dates were for

He told me that was the 2 times he had been right

Not yet. Already got a call from somebody I do a lot of side work with. Said he has to set trusses on a pole building next week so looks like I'll be helping him with that on Friday weather permitting

Sorry for your loss mate. You've seen a few Dirts go recently unfortunately ay.

There have been numerous remains of Neanderthals and other archaic human remains discovered with the clear evidence of cancer evident on the bones

Pre tobacco obviously (New World vs Old World) and pre-alcohol as well

It has been with us a long long time

Good question.

Heck of a place to pull over and take a siesta on a Sunday, because you've partied your ass off all weekend.

Chick could not even talk straight, let alone stand. She was trying to sleep it off, on the passengers side with her feet propped up on the door.

When I pulled over to see if she was broken down or had a flat. She had no bidness driving as far as she did.

Thanks for all the condolences everyone.

My aunt wasn't really a drinker at all. Just a lot of health problems on my dad's side of the family. A lot of it is their own doing, but in this case it was just genetics and bad luck.

Condolences @JoeDirt.

Thanks Tim, I've been to way too many funerals this year.

Thanks Adam. Yeah that's three close family members this year. Suppose it's just part of getting older, especially with a big family. Doesn't make it suck any less.

Good question.

I figured you might know, a ballpark.

New Stihl dealer near me has two 261C's on the shelf with price tag of $419 on them, seems super cheap to me. I think they have the wrong bar code on them or something? I even had a worker scan it to verify, yep he said computer shows $419.
