Degreased the 5.3 today and washed/waxed the wifes civic

Looks good!  You need to buff the headlights on the civic.

I polished them like 5 years ago - it needs a new set, just isn't a priority.

The rest of my shelving should be here tomorrow - so then I can continue moving more stuff out to the barn.

Sigh - my shelving unit showed up today. Somehow someone managed to mess up the uprights, and I was missing 2 decking kits for the shelves. The shipper tried to weasel his way out of the paperwork but I filed an exception. A phone call to Zoro and they are sending me another whole unit.

Seems to be all too common these days.  At least Zoro was a stand up outfit

Ooof

So as many of you know - I deal with chronic pain on a large scale on a daily basis. For the last 5 years, I've been on an end-of-life pain control med which is delivered via a wearable patch with a 72hour life span. Over the last year, I've been dealing with what I'd call quality issues on the patches. They don't stick or over stick to the backing, and when I have this problem I'm shit out of luck. No replacement and I get 10 per month period, so if I have an issue then I have 9 patches to use over 30 days. The problem is after 72 hours the delivery rate tanks, and I start going into opioid withdrawl. I got sick of the b/s and decided since I've been tapering for so long maybe I just ride it out as long as I can on a patch. Today I took off the patch I'd been wearing for 6 days and didn't replace it. Yeah, it's sucks, and I'm probably only a 1/4 of the way through the withdrawal cycle. The last time I tried this I made it 4 days and couldn't do it - but I was only walking 1 mile a day then vs 4 miles a day currently. With any luck maybe I'm in a place that I don't need this crap anymore.

Let's hope so!  I was thinking you were using one of the electrical "interrupt" devices, but maybe it was this pain patch that I am confusing it with.

I have a spinal cord stimulator as well.

Good luck!!

The shelves are up, I think I should be good for storage for a bit.

[Steve Wood]

Wish I had those!

Sign up for an account at zoro.com and they'll send you a 20% off coupon. It might take a week or so, but it makes for some pretty decent savings. I've got under $900 in steel, made in the USA shelves, and they'll hold 10x the weight I'll ever put on them. I could put 3 LSx long blocks on a shelf and not even be at half capacity.

From my limited looking in recent years, that is not bad at all.  I suspect wood would cost more and not last forever like steel.
