Good morning.
Feeling more gooder, the change in drinking water has had great affect in this regard. Well water is very acidic here but wasn't really seen as a problem. Some pondering on just what 2 and 2 were coming up to, led to research and discovery of it indeed being a health issue. Now after drinking the water run through an acid filter first, the constant tightening of muscles has relaxed, which was what finally allowed my back to go back into place. This gives some hope for the future however miniscule it may seem.
Note: bottled water was also tested and while it was an improvement, it wasn't up on parr to be optimal either. So, it did not make much sense to buy water and still have to treat it before consumption.

If it was in your butt you'd know it.

This is an example of the kind of wit that makes this place what it is.

I'd be asking how Randy knows,

I bet He must have seen a few things hidden in those fellow inmates prison-purses

How did you go about having your water tested, Steve? I am getting more health conscious lately and wondering why I am the way I am...

Morena E Hoas.
Mrs text me at 0937 yesterday that the battery light had come on in her car. We were having one hell of a storm at the time so I thought maybe wet belt or something but rang my alternator guy anyway to reserve a new one.
1418 she rings, car has lost steering on the way home. She turned it off, and now it's dead dead.
So began a 2 hour collect, re-car and then wait for a flat bed in the pouring rain while she did whatever she does on a Tuesday arvo.

So yesterday I learned that our Honda has 12v steering. Day not wasted.

Electric steering.

Progress marches on. Right off the cliff.

Electric steering has been around for over 20 years.

Bought test strips, just put water on it, see what color it turns and compare in the chart given. Pretty easy DIY.

Here we go again...
The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources has issued an Air
Quality Advisory for the following counties: Brown, Calumet,
Door, Florence, Forest, Kewaunee, Langlade, Lincoln, Manitowoc,
Marathon, Marinette, Menominee, Oconto, Oneida, Outagamie,
Portage, Shawano, Vilas, Waupaca, Waushara, Winnebago, and Wood.

WHAT...The PM2.5 AQI is expected to reach the Unhealthy for
Sensitive Groups (USG) to Unhealthy level.

WHERE...All of Wisconsin.

WHEN...Until noon Thursday, July 31.

Precautionary/Preparedness Actions:
Sensitive groups: Consider rescheduling or moving all activities
inside. Go inside if you have symptoms.

People with asthma: Follow your asthma action plan and keep
quick-relief medicine handy.

People with heart disease: Symptoms such as palpitations,
shortness of breath, or unusual fatigue may indicate a serious
problem. If you have any of these, contact your health care
provider.

Everyone else: Keep outdoor activities shorter and less intense.
Go inside if you have symptoms.

Additional Details:
Canadian wildfire smoke will impact Wisconsin's surface air
quality over the coming days, causing the PM2.5 Air Quality Index
(AQI) to range from the Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups (USG;
Orange) category to the Unhealthy (Red) category. It will be
possible for NowCast AQI values to reach the Very Unhealthy
(Purple) category.

Smoke impacts are already being observed in northern Wisconsin
this morning, and the smoke is expected to slowly travel south
through northern Wisconsin today. Overnight tonight into
Wednesday morning, the smoke will continue south, impacting most
of the state by noon Wednesday. The smoke is then expected to
linger over the state from noon Wednesday until noon Thursday. We
may see brief improvements in air quality on Thursday before smoke
moves back into northern areas on Friday. Stay tuned to the air
quality forecast as conditions can change quickly during wildfire
smoke events.

So what’s the advantage/disadvantage of said 12v vs hydraulic power steering,
cheers for your reply Ed..

I don't know but my sierra has it and you can turn the wheel all the way and you don't hear any pump squeal or whine. It's very smooth. I like it.

No pump to provide engine drag. No hoses, no fluid.
More complex, requires modules and sensors.
Depending on the system, can actually be quite compact and space saving.
I personally think they have less "road feel".
Electric can be more expensive to fix, but then again, replacing a hydraulic rack and pinion in some is quite time consuming and the parts themselves have also climbed in price.
One plus is if the engine stalls, you still have power assist.

Also, when reading this, bear in mind that I was pretty much told I don't know how to replace a pinion seal so your results may differ.

This is not the 21st century that I was promised.

Admitting your weaknesses is a big deal Ed.

Doctor says I'm going to live. He and I both apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

The first step is realizing that you have a problem.

The second step is figuring out who to blame for your problem.

The third step is monetizing that blame.

I hate it when we have 100% humidity.

My balls stick to my leg.

Dallas does not have that issue
