Posted by Banditfarmer on May 01, 2015 at 22:02:38 from (75.186.9.25):

Over the years I like everyone else have had my fare share of mis-haps and operations to fix things that have gone wrong. The worst one was the tumor that was in my head, They got it all out but I got a neat plastic plate to cover the 4 1/2" hole in my head with 16 titainume screws and wire to hold it in place (lol I already have an extra hole in my head so I'm lucky to have that out of the way now!). First few years it wasn't so bad but the older I get now I find that I cant take the heat or the cold like I use to. Plastic dose not block the cold and heat like bone dose that's for sure, It gives a hole new meaning to brain freeze if I'm out in the cold to long. If it's hot out and I'm in the shade I can take it but not in the direct sun, It really works on me. But the worst part of all of this is bumping your head on something and hitting one or more of those screw heads! Good GOD almighty there aint nothing hurts that bad! I would rather walk into a trailer hitch with my shin than to bump one of those screws! Man dose that hurt! I have found now I can feel high electrical fields in my head and I can only weld for about 15 min and I have to stop, It kinda makes you feel about 1/2 drunk and you sober back up in a short order and back I go at it again.

I have a cousin that always kinda poked fun at me about these silly kind of things, Till 2 years ago. He was at the truck pulls and was adding 100 lb weights to his truck when he mashed one of his fingers off! They had to put 2 big metal pins in that finger to save it. Now he asks me how I stand it when it gets cold out as he cant stand it now. Welcome to my world!

So how many of you out there have a few pieces of metal added to you over the years and had to change your ways to get things done? Oh I have 2 screws in my right ankle witch also gives me fits when it's cold out. Its funny how something so small as a little screw can change your life. Bandit

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo. ... [Read Article]
