Where is everyone #5

It's a #### even with the transmission out. This little ####### was fun getting the front pivot nut off. 1-2 clicks on the wrench at a time squeezing between it and the backup wrench over the frame rail.



Might as well figure on a new hex rod and ends for linkage to the transmission too.

 

Bakken.

 

That’s LOVE, right there!

 

Thank you, yes - and considering remote grease lines to said linkages.

Yes, thank you, we had discussed mounts, had just forgotten.

Maybe vibratech damper while we’re at it.

 

My mother and aunt are both clinically depressed. Aunt takes prescription drugs, and unfortunately my mother has been a long time alcoholic. I caught the genes for depression and didn't really start tackling it until a couple of years ago when my marriage almost ended. When I was younger I had a shotgun temper that I couldn't control, these days I still have the short fuse but I have a handle on keeping it from burning too often.

The 5-HTP and SAM-E are natural supplements that help the brain actually absorb the "happy hormones" like it should. The problem with the depressed brain is it's faulty in the sense that it doesn't metabolize the happy juice like a normal brain does. Those of us who deal with it know it's not just a matter of "not being sad" as a lot of the uneducated like to spout out in pointless facebook platitudes.

When I started taking those two supplements, I noticed a difference in my perspective on things after about a week or so. A lot less edgy, moody, and my tolerance of other human beings is about as normal as it can be. Best part is they are over the counter and don't come with a laundry list of side effects said in fast speech at the end of the big pharma commercial.

I hate to point out the obvious, but zip ties aren't part of a leveling valve's hardware kit. Might want to have a Priest swing by for an exorcism.

 

I am the till you walk a mile in that person's shoes type. We all have struggled. A small short coming to one is huge to another so I don't discount that either. All you can really do is offer help and hope they find something to help them through.

I knew a guy that was diagnosed with cancer out of no where. 3 no hope opinions. He done it and I understand why. He didn't want his kids pretty young at the time to see that drawed out process. I'm not saying he was right or wrong I am saying his heart was in the right place. Some things ain't always black and white.

 

Have you ever met someone that you admired? My plan was to die a violent death since I was young. But along the way, I've met people who lived a life that I would greatly prefer death over. There was a girl I knew at the gym that was stunningly beautiful. She won some Miss Budweiser contest and then got the boob job. World class looker. But she was on the best meds that money could buy. One day, her old man got busted selling her meds. She showed up to the gym to commit suicide. I tried to talk her down. How do you talk a person down when you yourself want to die? Well, she allowed me to get her some help. When they released her, she believed that she was madly in love with me. All the guys in the gym wanted in her pants and they knew she wanted me.

"Dude, I'd have to hit that."

That's the last thing she needs.

"I don't care...I'd just get mine and be gone."

Weaklings. Dickdumb and moronic. Could you imagine being her? 'How do you do this one, Six? How do you convince someone to keep on living, to keep on fighting, when you yourself do not want to live? How do you, a guy, tell a girl to do what you yourself are unwilling to do? How do you do this, Six? They are going to destroy her.'

"Get up, Six...you STILL have work to do. Quit being weak and self-centered. If you don't want your life, give your life to someone else."

Alright, I'm up.
