Anyone else?

I am in the same situation Rex. Looks like I will have to pay the $399 a month ransom ware fee. I have 10 years worth of linked pictures and sponsor's banner ads that I built and host on Photobucket and I cannot afford to lose them. Fortunately I have been on a paid plan since 2008 so they didn't just suddenly kill my pics and banners like they did to all the free users, but I have to upgrade to the $399 a month plan to keep them. They have us commercial users by the gonads and they know it.

 

[DeathBySnuSnu]

Well mine has no commercial value other than it might help to create traffic through here and people then see your banners.

But I am more upset over the tech thread than this one. This one is more hubris and then tech tech tech was more to help others.

 

[DeathBySnuSnu]

I did sign up on one of the other photo sharing sites.

No idea how long it will work.

How do I go back and edit all my old post with new links?

 

[DeathBySnuSnu]

I do not have an edit button to be able to do that.

I am not an admin.

The rebuild thread album is about 1200 pics.

Tech tech tech album about 200 pics.I work a lot, but I would eventually get through it all.

I see I have an edit button for a while on just my last post.

This is going to be a daunting chore no matter who undertakes this. :blush:

Drop Box

Has anyone heard of Drop Box (the new photo bucket)?

 

[DeathBySnuSnu]

I also use drop box to share files.

My engine adapter extension thing should be there. I have shared the design file a few times.

For pictures though.

Here is a free one that works.

Don't know how long.

I have my pictures and have them reduced in size.

Zook was working on getting me edit privilege.

But I imagine he is busy sorting out his own photobucket mess.

Well folks it had been about a month since I have done anything with my project.

I have had a spell with my health that has not gone away and the doctors can not explain. Have had all the heart and stroke test, blood work, monitors and everything the doctor can think of.

They tell me not only am I in good health but in excellent heath.

But I still continue to pass out and loose feeling in my right side.

Rex.....those symptoms sound serious.....better stay on terms with the drs. and labs. a dose of good luck won't hurt either. larry

Have them stress test you and check for Afib Rex!!!!!! I had very similar symptoms and the didn't find anything until I did a stress test on a rising treadmill. Then they found I had Afib. That has been about 15 years ago now. I take medication for it every night.

It can be a very serious issue left untreated. I would specifically ask for a stress test to see if that is what it is bro.

 

[DeathBySnuSnu]

The doc put me on seizure meds about a week and half ago after another spell.

The meds do seem to help, I am feeling better.

Through all this I have not worked on the project but have been busy with other things.

Took the girlie on a short trip to Mechacon in New Orleans right before school starting.



And I have fixed the pictures in the thread. They are all attachments now and on TT server instead of a host.

I picked up the gas tank and started cutting metal for the bottom today.

 

[DeathBySnuSnu]

Worked with the gas tank a while this morn before it got too hot.

Started on the bottom and got some shape to it.

Then sand blasted for a while.

 

[DeathBySnuSnu]

Then worked on some underneath air duct ideas.

 

[DeathBySnuSnu]

Drove my little truck this morning for the first time in quite a while. It sat for months until I loaned it to eldest daughter for a couple months then sat for more months. I am sure she brought it back empty. I guess the last few drops dryer up. Had to get gas in the can. Started right up after that.

 

[DeathBySnuSnu]

Then worked on the gas tank bottom for a while.

Made a fitting and recessed box for the pick up.

Limited on where it can go. Valve and nipple will be underneath up in the recess.

 

[DeathBySnuSnu]

I hate sandblasting.

But the metal has to be prepped for weld.

 

[DeathBySnuSnu]

Welded.

 

[DeathBySnuSnu]

Was gonna work on it this holiday weekend.

The girls have plans to go to a friend's birthday out of town. I was gonna stay home and and batch it a couple days and put some work on the project.

But then Saturday I had another one of those pass out spells and now feel like crud again.

So I went with my girls and not working on trike or driving.

About to eat some bbq in Memphis.

 

[vwbug72501]

Hard to go wrong with BBQ in Memphis!!! ThumbUp:clapping:

 

[DeathBySnuSnu]

Getting old....

Went with the girls to Graceland instead of working on the trike.



Elvis's trike has a 40 hp, 6 volt and short axle swing.

Rex have they checked you to be hypoglycemic? I read a story about a guy having spells like yours. The doctors ran tests couldn't find anything wrong. He had to go on disability because he was an equipment operator. A few years later he heard about hypoglycemia on the radio. Had himself tested, and discovered he was borderline hypoglycemic. They changed his diet( no sugar, no caffeine etc) He stop having his black outs and was able to go back to work. Just throwing that out there. We're praying for you....and just wanted to say we enjoy your articles and pics... thank you for all the effort you put into it. You take care Rex

 

[DeathBySnuSnu]

Yes.

I have a history of hypoglycemia and also hypotension.

As I have aged the problems with those has gone away for the most part.

But that is what I am monitoring. Everyone I know that became diabetic (hyperglycemic) late in life were hypo when young.

The wife was able to sugar monitor me during one of the spells. My normal is low on the normal scale.

she saw mine shoot way up and me start feeling bad. Then it crash back down to my normal quickly. The sudden decline is when I pass out.

 

[DeathBySnuSnu]

Working on that tunnel.

 

[DeathBySnuSnu]

Some more cutting and welding on that gas tank.

The bottom is nearly made.

 

[DeathBySnuSnu]

Started making a pressure can.

Thinking I can fill this with the engine oil. Connect it to one of my external oil lines. Hook the air pressure to the top. Fill the oil system to full pressure.

Possibly even see my rocker oil squirters work.

A way to run the oil system without the engine actually running.

You know I moved a lot of oil passages around and all.
