keep fighting for it Chris. Been thinking about you...I too hope you can return to the good things in life very soon. Can only imagine how frustrating and scary it must be.

Thanks Aron,
We'll know more Tuesday at 11am.:thumbsup: |

So the doc says things are looking good but as with before we have to wait and see how the eye heals. We are praying that the scar tissue does NOT come back! The good thing is this time I can actually see out of the eye (limited but MUCH better than when the lens was cloudy!) so I will know if and/or when the tissue starts to form.
So on to the car stuff... at least as much of it as I can do now. I got a $25 off coupon from Summit Racing this week so I am search through the website to try to find something to "save money" on... :rofl: I think I will pickup a Tubing notcher or possible a Devilbiss air dryer/filter unit. I suppose I will technically need both of them in the future but I think I will need the tubing notcher first. Too bad it is too soon to be buying parts for her! Tools are never bad though! Darn Summit.... Chris |
Good to hear and see you back Chris. BTW....its never too soon to buy the parts you need for the car, as long as you follow your plan and dont buy the kind of things that change as the plan evolves. But heck.....why isnt it time to start your car? Sounds like the perfect time to me.....................
|
Hmmm, that would imply I HAVE a plan... :wow: :rofl:
Doc says still nothing heavier that a milk jug so that is putting a damper on things. Chris |
well, a milk jug weighs about 7 lbs, and a plan weighs nothing more than the paper you write it on or the computer you use. lol. So get the plan done. Then when the doc lifts your restrictions start on the car already...lol. I love your tool time stuff, but I want to see action on the car even more. lol
|
That makes two of us!
Good idea though. :thumbsup: I'll work on that. Actually I have been working on suspension pickup points and such. Plus as soon as I get the go ahead from the Doc (and after I button up a couple loose ends on the house project) I plan to get back into making the aluminum nose. I figure I need to practice TIG welding with one eye before then though! I may go out and try my hand at that sometime soon. My wife is freaked out about that idea though... She thinks the arc will somehow damage the eye's healing process.... I told her I was still planning on wearing my welding helmet! LOL. |
well, since the eye is fragile maybe you can wear a patch and do it with one eye only. Then she'll be happy.
|
Well I finally got to get out in the garage and try one eyed TIG welding...
Not too bad I just had to adjust my start up technique. I typically start the arc then bring the rod into the puddle. I found without depth perception it is easier/more consistent to place the rod FIRST then pull it back a little then start the arc. This way I know where I am when I want to dig the rod. My first time, I struck the arc and though "hey that doesn't look all that different.... then I went to dig the rod and was about 2-3 times farther away than it looked! I did dig tungsten a couple times but after about 2-3 rods I was doing much better. I probably ran 4 rods total and by the end of the fourth rod I was doing pretty decent. I hope to be able to get back to work on the nose soon. Chris |
