it's a dang conspiracy!

 

Al, take care and do your diligence here......

 

Stan, tell Chris you figured out what RIP stands for in his name....Rusty In Places.

 

Not anymore, Dad-er, uh Bob, hooked it up with the stuff that does things. So nah!

As far as the other Al, take care of yourself. Stress tests suck but they reveal a lot and they push you to a certain personal limit, not make you keep up with some magic number. If you can only walk a treadmill to get to a certain heart rate that's it. I had to run to get mine up and it went for 20 minutes or so. It sucked. Shows that the valves are working in your heart. They will monitor O2 and blood flow to measure the volume being pumped. It's good information to get, so play nice and do what the nice lady says.

Oh, and quit smoking!

 

Chuck.... before you take wheels off to balance, consider this..... get some RideOn and squirt in your tires. Google them and read their site and find out how much you need. I've used this in 2 tires so far and it works. It primary use is to balance, secondary it does provide some puncture protection, not like slime. It does not stay gooey and crappy in the tire. I put the RideOn in my tire and went for a short ride. 3-5 miles on secondary roads to get the stuff moving around, then onto the highway to get the speed up and balance. It does not seem to settle and let tire go out of balance. When I got on this spring, I rode easy on the way home getting my road skill back. Never had a shutter. When they change tire next time, the RideOn will be in the tire and not smeared on the wheel.
AL...good luck on stress test. Last one I had, I told them I cannot trot, run, or do anything more than a walk due to knee replacement and arthritis in both ankles. They said no problem and gave me a shot of something that really made my heart rate go up, made me feel lightheaded (no comments from the rest of ya) and really strange. That lasted 10 maybe 15 minutes then went away. They got what they needed off that. I take a crap load of pills each day for b/p and some other crap. Been telling the doc that my stress level is down because the source is gone (retired...work was stressful) and my home checks show it pretty close to normal. Hopefully the don't start pumping pills into ya!!!
Well this lurker is out.....

 

Obviously you’ve never seen Mick’s spark plugs.

 

 

Stan, as a matter of reference, it is 86° here.

 

Scene from Al’s stress test?

 

I found that via google. Happened in Italy and the guy survived. Wow.
