Got my 6week followup visit for my pacemaker. Everything is great. Next monitoring session is in 3 months however I will be doing it from home. The pacemaker has a relay which transmits the data using a cellar connection. Will be getting the followup visit for the hernia surgery this week. I'm so grateful that all has gone so well and that I've got great insurance. I pay Medicare and have plan F that covers what Medicare doesn't. It's not cheap but I'm not wracking up huge medical debt. Things continue to get better. I try to improve myself everyday.

John Force Crash at Virgina track
bobthehobbyguy replied to Mike 1017's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
At this point I think the doctors are monitoring John to see if he has any issues due to that tremendous impact. Regardless of age the human body is not designed to be subjected to that.. The rule of thumb for medical issues is the first 24 hours and 72 hours will be the most critical. My thoughts and prayers that John will recover quickly. -
Goodbye Hot Rod Magazine?
bobthehobbyguy replied to Rockford's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
New issue I see out. Theme is protouring. Another issue not worth $15. If they don't get better I just don't see it lasting for more than a couple of more issues. -

One scary ride. It's always a possibilit5y given how hard the engines are run. I'm impressed how well designed the cars are. I doubt John will retire. I think he got a t aste of what retirement was like when everything was shutdown for covid. Doubt being a team owner on the sidelines is for him. -

Mike take care of yourself. That sounds like an allergic reaction. Being that itchy is one of the worst things that can happen to you.

So I had to get a few things from Walmart today. With all of my recent health issues I had gotten a disabled parking placard. Unfortunately all of those spots were taken but I managed to get a spot close to the door. When I came out to leave a cop was writing a ticket for a truck that did not have a placard or disabled plate parked in one of the designated spots. Those tickets are a minimum of $250. It pleased me to see the person get a ticket for their selfish stupidity.

Question/New Topic for us Oldtimers
bobthehobbyguy replied to TransAmMike's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
Slowly getting back to my routine. Did grocery shopping and got some much needed yard work done. I have gotten some great bench time in. Got a model finished and will be posting it. Grateful for still being around and getting better and better every day. -
Question/New Topic for us Oldtimers

It always amazes me when the cure can cause serious problems. It doesn't seem like a reasonable tradeoff. -
I cannot see making an effort to kill something when it can be avoided. I always slow down to avoid hitting squirrels and cats. In a of my years I only hit one squirrels. I was driving on a road at 35 and he darted out a couple of feet from the front of the car and there was no way to avoid hitting him. I felt terrible and hoped he died quickly.
