    Aftermarket knees

    Who here has one? Wondering about kneeling on it. Doc I am seeing has told me that they have patients that do. Have talked with a few people who said it ain't happening. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

    Was going to be a SS/AH car...

    ...ended up being a bracket car. Beautiful all the same. Friend owns it. From what I understand it is going to be getting a 540" all aluminum Wedge dropped in it over the winter. Shot at Qlispé Raceway Park in Airway Heights Washington.

    NHRA Division 6 ET Finals

    I hauled all my camera crap to Woodburn. If you raced, when it was not raining, I may have an image or 3 of you so just let me know what you were driving...

    Trying some different camera stuff...

    Spent the weekend at Qlipsé Raceway Park here in Eastern Washington. Sadly Sunday some serious gremlins reared there ugly head in the timing system so the racing was cancelled. Refunds/vouchers for next race were handed out. Track prep, however, looked pretty damn good to the knucklehead with...

    New Camera

    Bought my first mirrorless camera, a Canon R3. Between the somewhat complex menus, some of the buttons being in different spots (a necessity) and my fat fingers there is a bit of a learning curve. I was at Renegade Raceway last weekend and used it for quite a while. Couple the articulating LCD...

    Qlipsé Raceway Park in Airway Heights Washington

    Is now an NHRA sanctioned track. Spent the past couple Saturdays at the track scraping paint off the walls. First Friday Night No Prep is going to be held on April 28th, hopefully. The manager is busting his *** trying to get things ready. Sadly the facility was vandalized over the winter. Damn...

    Cancer

    Neighbor lost the battle Wednesday. Jim didn't want any sort of service, just to be cremated. Lifelong friend arranged for a simple viewing today. Get home to find out that a friend from Jersey lost his battle today.

    Felling a bit honored...if that is the right word.

    Our local dragstrip has been shuttered for a few years. The Kalispel Tribe purchased the facility in October or 2021. RJ, a friend has been busting his tail to get the drag strip open again. Lot of stuff to do, new timing system, reader boards, track prep equipment etc. Well...RJ just posted the...

    Not what I wanted to hear

    Had my spinal cord stimulator put in January 2020. Got rid of all my sciatic pain. Have been having ongoing troubles charging it. It is charged using the remote, which has a battery pack in, connected to a charging paddle. Seen my doc for a follow up 2 weeks ago. He is concerned with the...

    We have lived in the Inland Northwest since 2008, this is the coldest I have seen it....but will take this over the smoke filled skies and constantly checking to see if we have to evacuate....

    Confusion.....

    I have a Pain Stimulator and a Vertiflex in my back. Same doc did both. While I still hurt some it is nothing like what it was. Between the both of them I was able to end my 20+ year long dependency on Opioids. Doc advised me that I needed to modify a few things in my life, one of them being...

    I can often be found at AirwayX...

    ...which is the Motocross track in Airway Heights. During the night races they often will do things to keep people entertained. Mom Cross, Pit Bike Races are the normal. Well...they had a 2 Up Pit Bike race. Riders had to switch positions several times during the race. Tripp..the...

    Hopefully someone can explain how this relay works?

    Not an A-body, it is my 02 Silverado. Truck cranks but will not start. Truck has a 4 pin relay that powers up several fuses which in turn run to the PCM and FCIM. Relay has me baffled. One pin is being fed from the ign c fuse, which is constant hot. Another pin runs to several fuses which in...

    Really like my D-Max....most of the time.

    Trans temp was high...like 60-70* over normal. Used an infrared thermometer, it read 150 or so....which is where it normally stays unless I am towing at low speed. Pressure switch on top of the valve body has a sensor in it. Drop the pan, put the new sensor in it. Take it out for a ride...goes...

    Photography stuff....

    Been busy this summer. Shot 27 motorsports events so far. 7 or more to go. Got approached by a young lady at the mx track about shooting her senior portraits, at first I declined but after talking with her dad changed my mind. Still have a few things I need to sort out for her but almost done...

    Went for a bit of a ride over the weekend...

    I was at Qlipsé Raceway for a road course track days type of thing. I squeezed in the passenger seat of this Porsche and spent 15 minutes or so just enjoying being in a vehicle that was pushing the traction limits in the corners....and hitting close to 160mph down the straights. Adam was...

    SI joint fusion

    Seen the pain doc yesterday. Seem to be chasing my back pain now. My symptoms point to an SI joint problem. However when he did an actual exam, pushing and twisting the SI joint I did not experience any increase in pain. When he was done he told me that if my SI joint was the problem I would...

    Wind therapy

    Decided I need some seat time. I started to tear this thing apart to use what I could on the other frame I bought many years ago but decided to let the other bike wait. Waiting on some throttle parts that vanished...and a new rear tire. Has a 250/40-18 on it. Been 6 years or so since I bought...

    Jr Dragsters

    So I did a "thing" my last visit to Renegade Raceway I asked one of the Jr Dragsters Moms if she could help me take a group photo of them all. Cassie has a great relationship with Derek, the person that runs the track. Prior to track prep we managed to pull it off. It was suggested that next...

    Lesson of the day

    I have a Spinal Cord Stimulator, have a herniated disc (L5). Stimulator has eliminated all the sciatic pain it was causing. Part of the agreement I had to make with the Pain Care doc was to see a mental health provider. Have been seeing one for 3 decades or so not a problem. Doc gives me a list...

    Addicted? Dependent?

    More correct question would be when does the line between the 2 of them get a bit blurry? Rolling into the 5th month of no opioids and the 4th month on no Gabapentin. Starting to feel a bit better mentally. Doc that put the Spinal Cord Stimulator in subtlety suggested that I quit the drugs as...
