I could kick your ***. My wife did the same at first but not intentionally. It wasn't until she was pregnant with my son and my dad started failing in health that I started back up.
I more than likely have what's called ankylosing spondylitis. It's a genetic lower spinal inflammation that's pretty painful (feels just like a broken bone at it's worst). I'm still going through tests to be sure and seeing the backdoor doctor for a colonoscopy. I'm so looking forward to that hell. He wanted to give me the roids to calm the pain down. I looked into it and found a lot of new things that can control it like TNF blockers and some non steroidal based anti-inflamatories. I hate the idea of medication of any kind, but the pain is pretty intense.

I'm down for the cruise. Already told the wife that she has the kid that morning. If she wines about it, I'll threaten to cut her brake lines or something.

 

colonoscopy? what are they working you up for? colon cancer with bone metastases (hence the back pain)? you're way too young for that as far as i know.

 

Inflammatory bowel disease often accompanies AS unfortunately (the inflammation is so close to the lower intestine that it spreads). I have issues with taking a deuce and retaining protein (hence the lack of mass) so they're going in for a looky. Fun ****. It's a good thing I didn't go through with enlistment a few years back or I'd be getting a medical discharge. It's something I've expected could hit me for a long time. my grandpa was crippled from it as he didn't do anything until it was way too late. I also have an aunt and a nephew who have it. Maybe I'll get lucky and find out it's a back injury and IBS or something simple.

 

Needless to say, I'm not jealous.

 

Alright, little man is stepping up! Easy to talk when you are in company Looks like I'm left to fly the flag for our community in bsp, me vs the s2ks...

 

*** I think my starter died.... Anybody have hard starts sometime?? Sometime I can start normal but like after driving for a while and I go to restart it it would start and die off or it would just keep cranking for about 3-5 seconds or longer. This happened to me before where it doesn't start or crank at all.. I got it to start back somehow and now it's happening again like before. I hear the fuel pump running.. I thought it might have been the clutch switch so I disconnect and plugged it back in but still nothing. I think I'll try to figure it out in the morning.. hope I don't get a ticket where I'm parked.

 

dude your starter was messing up since day one. Should have been taken care of that thing. In other news, I finally changed the starter on the e30 today. Total of 4 hours to take off, 2 hours to rebuild, and 4 hours to put back on. I love how bmw designed that bad boy back in the 80's. +1 for the chauster. -100 for sanh for being a newb

 

lol yea it was messing up for a while.... but I was just too lazy =\

 

It takes maybe 15-20 minutes to change the starter on our cars. Most of that is jacking it up and lowering it.

 

Isn't Ben going? Pretty sure he is...

 

Doug you should have no problem mopping the floor up with an S2k in your car. besides, there will def be atleast one more EVO there.

 

Ben did say he was going.

 

good luck and i hope it ends up being something minor.

 

Dan, you coming up to Warminster for ***** and giggles sunday? I'm gonna drive by and bs alittle bit.

 

chu, i was planning on running at warminster this sunday but i am getting my exhaust done and don't know when it will be finished. if it is done in time i may consider coming to shoot the **** for sure. have you considered partaking in the cruise we're planning? i know it is out of your way but last time was a really good time.

btw my wife is trying to get me to go down the shore for the weekend of the 6th. i am going to have to be smooth with this one! plus i am on week 4 of 6 of skin cancer treatment and can't really in the sun, so i got that going for me.
