Granny's gone and done it again

[Granny Hatchet]

Morning everyone. I need a coffee mug with this inscription on it this morning.

I made the mistake of carrying two 20 pound jugs of water out to the coop last night. Knew better. Neck has been bothering me and I think I have a pinched nerve that has been raising merry H-E-double toothpicks with my left arm. Sure enough, up most of the night with pain in my left arm/shoulder and neck and just for fun the right arm decided it would join the party. Feels like I have a tooth ache in my arm and neck.

Anyhoo, Granny I'm glad you are able to tolerate the cholesterol meds. My body just wouldn't tolerate them. Doctors tried different ones and all gave me really unpleasant side effects. I finally begged my doctor to give me a chance to drop some weight and modify my diet more and see if that would bring my numbers down to a more acceptable level and he agreed. I've lost 27 pounds so far but the better news is I dropped my numbers to an acceptable range. Total cholesterol 190. I would like to lose about 5 more pounds but discovered how much I was really over eating. Now the challenge is to keep my weight stable over the winter months which thanks to the diverticular disease and chronic gastritis isn't hard to do. My body is in charge of what I eat and it is unforgiving if I do not listen to it.

After three nights of lows in the teens the temp is finally starting to edge up into more acceptable numbers for this time of the year. Poor chickens haven't been out for two days. Tomorrow looks promising. I'm sure they will be thrilled to get out as the temps are supposed to get up in the upper 30s.

Im sorry your in pain. I know that feeling. Drs finally found one I could tolerate but Im still way too high. My cholesterol has always been like this. I believe it to be hereditary.

nope, rear brakes.

I wound expect that kind of pricing if it were a jag or porche dealership....but....you're driving what? Trying to remember....is it an Oddessy? I cant spell... or a mazda something? or....gah.

You need to get written estimates from wherever you're going to.

Ok. So. Simplified here but. Calipers are what hold the pad, and a part of the caliper is what pushes the brake pad into the rotor, thus slowing you down. Sometimes they seize and get stuck on...that's no bueno. So yes, if your calipers are bad, your brakes wouldn't work.
