The CZickness XLIV Girding our loins for 2022

[bcannon]

Morning all!
I'm going a bit slow today. Yesterday I hurt my back a little moving some boxes of paper at work. It was going fine until I got the stack perhaps a bit too high. A hot shower this morning seemed to really help. I'm not out of commission, but I am having to really slow down so that I don't hurt it further.

Take it easy my friend. Back issues/pain seriously sucks.

Hey guys. My son has written a children's book and he's trying to scrape together some funds to get it illustrated and into print . He's been getting the drawings done at $35 a page as he can afford to but I'd like to get him jumpstarted if anyone has a few bucks they can spare, he'd be grateful and so would I.

Done.

My granddaughter wrote a children's book for her college senior project and a classmate did the illustrations for her project. It came out very nicely.

Anyone have experience with this? Was thinking of trying it out on my SA RO

I've used them. They wrap around the front strap and have tabs that catch the mag well opening. I used them on my Kimber and they worked but tended to scratch the front strap.

You might be able to avoid the scratches by attaching them with RTV underneath them

I just picked up one to try on my 97. It will probably need modification, but that's okay

As I posted a couple of days ago, a strip of grip tape on the front strap works for me.

I still have some sides from the 1st go round in 02 with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. They gave me 3 to 4 years then. Well I beat that one. Looks like this one will eventually end my timecard.

Well brother, I'll keep praying, you keep praying and let God take care of it. He my decide we aren't ready to clock out yet. Stay strong brother!!

 

[Robert Richardson]

I did too, but I think it will be better than the 25 yr old pillow top from Value City we've been using.

Make sure you get the pillow type mattress pad for it. I had to order one after we got our new one, this is our second one. It wasn't quite as softly padded as our first one.

we are not fans of the squishy pads. We'll try it as is for a while and see how we like it.

Nope, but thanks for posting as the testimonials sound promising...

We just ordered a sleep number bed over the NY holiday. We'll let you know how we like it.

I've had one for over 20 years...queen size - very neat bed - 2x the effective per side.

However, - it being long in the tooth, I've been eyeing the Purple Mattress (*original*) and it's price point.

I have their Large Purple driving mat as my bottom seat on the Outback is a tight squeeze for my long hours in the saddle.

It compliments my almost non-stopping after 6 complete hours of drive time. Fabulous.

The Purple bed could be a tick more firm for me, but coupled with the adjustable bedframe might be the ticket.

Got on the road @ 3:30 am this morning local time and got into my home town in Iowa for a little meeting with a friend of mine.

Then to my college town Pella Iowa for yet another mtg with a chum I hadn't seen in 20 years

Now in DSM and worn the hec out. Having 2 fingers of Angel Envy and feeling gooooooooooooood........

12 hours on the dot drive time...lot'sa wind - normally I get 33-35 mpg on the road westbound - today though was 22 at best.

SUXXXXXED.!! get 620 miles a tank down to 410 miles.

yes, skate board tape is the nuts on the right places for grip.!!

Good evening, CZ fans. I'm praying for all the ailing folks. Gonna be a cold one in the morning.

Man the price of scrap is up! I’ve lucked out the past year at work, they’ve been constantly doing construction projects at work and I’ve been their scrapping guy. Which is awesome because they let me keep the dough. I’ve been using it to buy tools.

@hANNAbONE that load you saw in the back of my truck the other day, $300!

Been eyeballing a Milwaukee m18 1/2” impact for while. Think i might just go ahead and take the leap!

I have both of the 1/2 Milwaukees. The big one is a beast. The smaller one is handy but won't keep up with an air impact. The large one is comparable.

I’m going for the big boy. As of right now I only have m12 stuff. I do have a few Snap On 14.4v things, which I love. I bought Snap On used, no way I’d pony up for them new…

 

[Ruger_Ronin]

Ordered one to try out.

Had one for a very brief period on my cmd. It scratched the hell out of the finish on the front strap. Especially at the top and bottom edges

Edit: 88 beat me to it.

Done and went for the signed copy edition. He's halfway there!

I've harassed our local bike & board guy for scrap pieces of skateboard tape. Usually only has black, but beggars can't chose the flavors

Another edit: HB beat me to it. I'm slow today
