The Czickness XLV anxious for the SGE

[mcapo]

Awesome. Headers on a vette… don’t envy you. Good luck on that… Haha!!!

I’ve got a 2557-20 that I picked up earlier this year, love it. Use it everyday. I need to add some more bigger batteries, but the small slim ones fit in more places…

Got my 2557 and 2558 yesterday. I expected them to be large and heavy - wasn't disappointed!

The seem like everything you'd expect from a Milwaukee tool these days. Glad I went to the higher torque model in spite of the size. Didn't realize it had an LED light - I am appreciating those alot with old eyes.

Two years ago I started having an extreme amount of PVC's. The cardiologists spent a year testing and experimenting ending in the cath lab and they found no reason or med to stop it. Went to my GP and told him I thought it was likely caused by anxiety. He put me on an anti-anxiety med and the PVC's went away. They finally kicked up again 3 weeks ago and we adjusted the med. Got my fingers crossed.

I have had GERD for a few decades and now have an irritated area in my stomach. It is interesting that you SIL made a connection between the stomach problem and PVC's. None of my docs have mentioned that possibility. I think they all get too wrapped up in their specialties and very few of then look at the whole picture.

Best of luck to both of us.

Aside from the surgical issues my wife has faced, her integrated care doctor has done more to improve quality of life than the specialists.

I highly recommend integrative care for any dealing with chronic or unresolved health issues.

That’s the only thing I don’t like about the battery stuff, the size.

Mrs Mcapo carried the box in and asked what they were. After opening the box and making my comment, she hasn’t spoken to me since.

Sounds like you need to fix something of hers or build her something to show they were a necessity rather than a cool man toy/tool..

The used market is pretty hot right now. You might think about selling that model.

That would have been a better approach. Lol. I chose the smarta$$ comment instead.

Nah. I’ve invested heavily in her recently. Better off to keep her than trading her in.

Yup, cheaper to keep 'em !

Yep! I am kidding, of course. I couldn't ask for better.

I know, but I needed an opening to jump into the thread today !

You are the opening, headliner and closing acts!

Just received my IPSC Alex gas pedal. I got it installed. Had to use a couple washers I had in the extra everything bowl in the garage to space it out some. It was either that or modify it to fit and that wasn't a viable option to me. Will get a couple black washers here in the near future but it's installed and works amazingly. Not that it was completely necessary but I thought if I was going to have one might as well have one that works. Doesn't look too bad either.

Been having some issues with me gut/stomach [start of an ulcer?] that doesn't help my PVCs on my heart which in turn makes it skip now and then. My Dr. SIL states it "tickles" the diaphragm and in turn "tickles" the esophagus which in turns bumps my heart. GREAT.!

Sometimes GERD causes esophageal spasms which cam mimic PVCs/palpitations. We always used a home 24 hour or several weeks heart monitor to verify an arrhythmia before starting any treatment. Can’t tell you how many times patients were certain they were having arrhythmias when there were zero on the monitor. Treating the GERD aggressively usually helped. There were times however when we found cardiac issues that needed aggressive treatment as well.

Bottom line: Thats why we have various modes of testing.

This is NOT medical advice, just my 2 cents. YMMV

It really helps on keeping on target with follow up shots. Not that TSO really needed it with the weight of it but with it the recoil is almost nil, even racing to the bottom of the mag.

I hope that you'll bring it to the SGE .... honestly, I've never even held a pistol with one of those installed.

We all appreciate your knowledge and experience on this subject.

They used a 48 hour Holter monitor on me and it was the only 48 hours I didn't have any PVC's. I bought a Kardia Mobil EKG and recorded the episodes for several days and showed them to the Cardiologist. My cardiologist went from "meh...it's normal" to "damn...that ain't right" in a hurry.
