Stop in for a cup of coffee

The tooth saga was a complete clusterf*ck today. They got me in and all numbed up and began to probe the tooth. They couldn’t get the crack to flex or move at all. After about 15 minutes of probing (I had been in the chair for an hour already) the surgeon stopped and said he wouldn’t remove the tooth.

There is still an abscess under it and he thinks the tooth can be saved by a root canal so he’s sending me to a specialist to open it up and see if it can be saved. If not, then I go back to him to remove it.

I said screw that, just take it out. He said sorry, I can’t...your blood pressure is too high right now. I called your primary care doc so you can go see him and get your pressure down before I do the extraction if it becomes necessary.

So now it’s another week of antibiotics, make appointments with docs and try to get my blood pressure down while living with this pain.

That sucks!

Snap on makes a plier for that!

Nope. Been doing laundry and putting away some Christmas decorations.

It never ceases to amaze me what people will use drywall screws for.
I tried to ban them from the workshop, but they are occassionally useful...

So Dd back to bourbon antibiotic and Tylenol? That just plain suks, how did you not strangle the surgeon today?
That is one of those scenarios whereas I totally go all redneck. My wife just grabs me by the shirt and physically drags me out as I become a total dick. As long as nobody moves I can shoot myself in the foot quite well.

I use them for other stuff, but prefer deck screws with the Torx drive.

Been there done that. Dont know why, but we get along now during the home maintenance/reno stuff.
She has an uncanny habit of moving the next thing or tool i need.

 

[Tooljunkie]

This one time many years ago, when my fuse was much shorter she re-arranged the kitchen. After about the third drawer i opened looking for something i proceeded to empty them on the floor.
Last drawer i pulled open had what i was looking for.
Things dont get moved without a discussion now.
I used to get a lot of headaches back then..

Never considered attempting tile work.big no no for me. Maybe in someone else’s house...

 

[MomsDuster]

Well made it home without incident. Car ran great. Not digging the low voltage at idle with fans on. Also gotta get the exhaust toned down a bit. Ridiculously loud. Although the fact that it basically a bare shell it drones bad! Getting sound deadening on the roof and floor along with carpet etc. should help a lot. But overall I’m pretty excited that it’s a driver.

Wow she's gone for a couple weeks.
You don't have to go to the SIL's.
You do miss out on Florida weather in March.
And you have to paint??
I'd add a day or two extra to the Carlisle trip!!
Only fair??? Oh wait we're talking wives...never mind.
