That sucks. Is he doing open or laprascopic?

Laprascopic.

Good luck. I will add you to my prayer list.

I appreciate that.

I'm really just looking forward to getting this taken care of. I've had something going on on the left side for years.....and now a big painful bulge on the right.

Just to prepare you -- the recovery is a bit painful, and your nethers will look like you've been tortured by the Spanish Inquisition, but it's well worth it. Before my hernia repair, I was afraid to pick anything up, and every cough or sneeze was terrifying. I'm really glad you're getting it fixed. My thoughts will be with you.

Oops edit: mine was open. I think the recovery from laproscopic is easier.

They go in just under the ribs....and examine the entire muscle wall for damage. I'm thinking it ain't gonna be so bad.

What they can do these days is amazing. I had an umbilical hernia repair about 1985, and i was in the hospital for a week, and pretty much wrecked for a month. I had inguinal hernia repair in 2019, and it was outpatient! Within 2 weeks, I was functional, albeit light duty. You got this.

I'll be having surgery Monday. Doc thinks I have multiple hernias. Gonna fix whatever he finds.

Best to nip it in the bud. I’ll send some smoke signals to the big chief in the sky for ya.

 

[Stump Shot]

Yes, sir. I was just thinking that would be a little better than the 350 dished piston?

I believe you're correct there. I didn't know, so...

Is a 350 cylinder worth porting, or is it more effort than its worth?

 

[Stump Shot]

@Mastermind Best of luck for your procedure.

100% this. An untreated hernia is pretty much a time bomb. You can go from vaguely uncomfortable to "get me to the ER" in a very short time.

Sure, but I wouldn't pay a pro to port one. The nice thing is you can raise the transfers without a right-angle grinder.

Dunno, nobody ever asked me to do one, that may be your answer right there.

Well Thank ya.

I might ask you to port my echo 310, just to be annoying.

 

[farminkarman]

Well Thank ya.

Have you made sure the doc knows not to do a Dally special?

Have you made sure the doc knows not to do a Dally special?

Oh yeah. We had that discussion. He assured me that he had no idea what a prison purse even was.

Afternoon men. We spent the weekend cleaning out the cabinets. My wife has a Fiesta dish problem like most of us have a saw problem! We packed away what we don’t need and moved what we did need to the shop/office. Luckily we have that to use while I do the kitchen at the house. It needed a good cleaning before the wife was willing to use it though, lol.

Yesterday I had to get the Tahoe serviced and picked up some more totes to finish cleaning out the kitchen. I switched stealerships since the one where we bought it was 6 WEEKS OUT on an oil change. How the F&$k am I supposed to know to schedule that far out. I went to a dealership in a small town and was in and out in 45 minutes. Check out their waiting room!

Today….DEMOLITION TIME!

I have new take off 353 top ends if you want one.

That sounds good, I was going to go 346xp from Dukes but they are all out and I already have 2. A 353 build could be a good saw.

They got sold already. Peeps here snap stuff up fast.

I'm confused. Do you have two 346xp or two 343xp top ends?

There are a lot of options. Duke has 343 top ends. HL has OM and AM 346xp tokens. I can't vouch for the am stuff, but there it is

Edit: check your pms
