    I had a flat and a step. I don’t currently, but did up until a few years ago.

    Man - I hate to drop this news on you guys.



    Last run was December 18th. Stayed in for the holidays, but just felt something was not right. Lethargic, gaining weight - increased hunger and thirst.

    Booked in at the doctor. He sent me to a specialist, just had the MRI and CAT scan today.

    Specialist sat me down and looked me in the eye.



    "Seems you have a case of 'fractured posterior' - Stage 4 as far as we can tell"

    My heart sank. "Doc - what could have caused this?"

    "Well, it appears you worked and saved far too early in your life, and paid off most all of your debt prematurely. There is little help for a patient in this far an advanced condition"

    "Surely there's remedies - naturopathy, medicinal dope - WHAT, Doc - What can I do - I'm . . . I'm just . . . too young?!"


    Nervous seconds passed.

    "Well, it's experimental - in its infancy to say the least"

    "Go on doc - anything to help . . . "


    They've prescribed a sling - a 'Lazy Boy' they called it. I researched to find Latin references to 'recliner'. I'm supposed to wear the thing for at least 18 hours a day and rest the fractured posterior, (often called "A case of the broken Arse" ) until things improve.

    They also suggested watching television shows involving something called 'work' to assist in the mental trauma involved.

    I've set up a "Go Fund Me" page in order to assist with the special medicines (very expensive) prescribed. Stella Artois (never heard of it), Four Roses Bourbon (hope I spelt that right), and coffee.


    Go forth lads - it appears I'm out of the game for now.

    Such tragic news.
    Wish I could help you out with your therapy but I'm too busy. I'm truly sorry about that.

    That's funny man. I had a MRI today too. Funny story on stella beer. Its good. Short story is in Belgium it is the bottom beer. In a marketing scam years ago the drove the price down to sell more. Became known as the wife beater beer. Domestic violence went up and it forever is a wife beater. Walk into a Belgium Bar I'm told ask for a wife beater you will get it. They directed sales to market it as a premium beer in the USA. This is the short, short version. Good luck, I can donate a hemriod pillow, because if you don't have them you will.

    A bxs is easier to convert to a single turbo. But you still have the higher comp pistons. My first choice would be a 2ws,1mm, 6nz, mbn, bxs, mxs or nxs in that order. Any of the acert ' s will have to change to lower comp pistons unless you find a 625 hp acert. They already have a lower comp piston in them.

    Did they hold up well. What I am saying did you haul heavy. I like their idea of the rub rail. Been kicking around about getting a new wagon. With that set up and a side kit I could use the straps with sides on. I imagine I could lay some rubber belts down over holes when not in use to keep water out. And I wonder if the factory will put 30 pair of chain pop ups in one.
