oh no. prayersHey guys. Well, Mayo didn't tell us what we wanted to hear. I need open heart surgery to fix my mitral valve and they will do a bypass or two as needed while they're in there.

Hey guys. Well, Mayo didn't tell us what we wanted to hear. I need open heart surgery to fix my mitral valve and they will do a bypass or two as needed while they're in there.
My ex was diagnosed with mitral valve prolapse when we were in our 20s. Dr told us "10% of the people in the world have it and only 10% of those know it". My uncle was a good example of that. Not a hint of it until he had his teeth cleaned by his ex, yes, she was a licensed dental assistant and he got an infection in the heart valve. He said she was trying to kill him
. One of my buds had his first valve replacement in his 20s, a piggy valve. Wore that one out, they put in a mechanical valve. Every once in a while when it was real quiet and we were stuck in a confined area working on rock plant stuff I could hear his valve clicking 
. He runs 4 miles a day now, so it must still be workin' properly.
I took a audio of my noisy valve and posted it on you tube. I can't hear the sound on my laptop but I can hear it on my phone. LOL

As much as I would like to say 'F it and go...' Gotta play it smart when your ticker is involved. I would be checking with doc to see if they have an issue with such trips. You will probably be healthier than the rest of us when its done.
Interesting you mention that. They stressed good dental health and I got a release form my dentist needs to sign and fax to Mayo before surgery. They said that many mouth infections can cause heart issues.My ex was diagnosed with mitral valve prolapse when we were in our 20s.

Carlisle will be the weekend before. I should probably stay home and do laundry before I go to the hospital for a week. LOLAs much as I would like to say 'F it and go...'

Ex had to take anti-biotics before ANY dental work was done for just that reason.
I think that they aren't making MP cams any more...
This one is an old Direct Connection grind that is for sure no longer available...

Always wear clean underwear in case you have to go to the hospital...

If the hospital visit is the result of a " Here, hold my beer " activity, you probly messed your drawers anyway. Who would know if they were clean before anyway.

No news about that big thunderhead I saw in the east yesterday. The Condors must be safe.
Hey Tim
hey tim
heres the way my boat is set up cooling wise
Would think there would be washout ports somewhere.
I would start with checking flow of coolant.you said it heats up really quick,so its a bad pump,thermostat stuck closed or leaking combusted gases into cooling system.
Seawater side, looks simple enough,but its in such a tight enclosure it will be hard to get anything apart to check.
Plan is to replace it all. Owner's manual actually calls for water pump replacement every 36 months and Thermostat replacement every 24 months.
Looks like a good deal....
Buy that and put the 408 into it! HMMMM
thought you was buying your 66 back
Kind of up in the air for me......Dave might be disappointed .... Still thinking.....
So I have a crazy idea. IF the inline 6 in the boat is toast, wonder if I could find a Marine 12 valve cummins and swap in.

I can just imagine the Mrs tell you to shut your computer off after sharing that. “I don’t want people knowing I married someone that dumb!” -
