Roo has a golf car?
There's gotta be someone who annoys you to the point they need a new gas cap in your area.

That is a long list.
Gonna need more gas caps.
This makes no sense.
So it's time to do routine maintenance on my old yamaha gas golf car. I go on Amazon I can get an air filter, spark plug, gas filter, and a carburetor for a dollar less than the same air filter by itself?? (17 dollars)
I tossed the no name spark plug, I only use ngk plugs. I put the new carburetor on the shelf just in case.
here's my piss and moan for the day.
Getting old SUCKS. I'm not even really "old", more middle aged? Turning 40 in a couple of weeks.
Flying a desk for most of my career, with lots of computer work, intensifying to exclusively computer work over the last four years, has done a number on my spine. After 4 years of chiropractic care with only short-term success, in 2018 an MRI revealed "large, broadbased posterior disc osteophyte complex" with "moderate to severe foraminal narrowing" at my right C8 nerve root (between C7 and T1, medicalese for bone spurs protruding into the hole that the nerve is supposed to come out through). When it's acting up, I get pain and/or tingling down the ulnar nerve which runs down to the little finger, and the damage caused some lost grip strength. In 2019 found a PT that taught me some "nerve flossing" exercises that when done promptly at the first sign of a flareup, prevent it getting worse and I have no problems for 6-12 months.
Then, a couple weeks ago I had what seemed to be a muscle strain in my right trapezius. It was spasming and every time it spasmed, would kick off that nerve pain BAD. Like couldn't sit still, just pacing around the house bad. Like how you know when it's time to take the family dog to go "live on a farm" because he's in so much pain he just walks around the house all day and night. A couple days of rest, a week of tylenol, flexeril and prednisone and the muscle seemed to mostly calm down, but the nerve pain stayed. Nerve flossing makes it worse. Doesn't seem to bother me if I'm active, but gets cranked up when I'm sedentary. Thought maybe the activity was making it worse but not showing up until the evening, so I try resting a couple of days and then it gets WAY worse.
So I go into a chiro that my mom recommends. Take some x-rays, my cervical spine is shaped like an S instead of a C, and wouldn't you know the part that's bent wrong is right where I have the bone spurs. So now I'm doing 2x a week adjustments and I think I'm getting better, until the night before I'm supposed to leave for a wheeling trip in Colorado and I go get a haircut. Lay my neck down in that sink with my head cantilevered off of it to get my hair washed and I'm back almost where I started before the chiropractor. Can't even think about 40+ hours in a Jeep and sleeping in a hammock for 3 nights so trip is cancelled, and chiro is only open M-W so I've got 5 days before any hope of relief.
Oh, and my truck needs a battery.
Talk to your chiro about attending a Belly Dance class. I'm not joking. We had an older guy in one of the classes I was in who was sent there by his chiro. He never performed or anything, but the class really helped him in his case. There are LOTS of Belly Dancers who got into it in the first place because they had a jacked up back and their doc sent them there. "Consult with your medical professional before starting any new exercise regimen. Results may vary, only your doctor can advise you as to whether or not Belly Dance would be right for you."
I didn't start BD because of a jacked back, BUT, I just happened to have one at the time I started. I showed my Chiro a full body undulation and a couple of other moves, and he said "You keep that up, and you'll NEVER have back problems again." So far, he's been right and that was over 22 years ago.
well that's not what I was expecting to result from my post but honestly it hurts so bad I might be willing to perform if it made it stop and never come back.![]()

I bet that carb and airfilter are just like the "NTK" O2 sensors amazon sells that come in a plastic bag...![]()
