Home already? Sounds like you really are doing great, considering the surgery that you have had. Healing around the head is a slow process, but if you are now reading this at home, well done mate!

And thanks to the Big Fella upstairs!

Great to see you in good spirits, and wanting to do stuff, even though you probably shouldn't! lol.

I am so happy for you, it brought a tear to my eye.

I ported mine back in November. Started with a Dremel and immediately saw that wasn't going to work.

Use a air diegrinder. If you don't have a carbide cutter I got mine in the router section at bunnings. Was like $25 or something like that. I was surprised that it chewed little iron shavings out of the cast manifold pretty well. I just used the gasket to port match.

Took me about an hour or hour + 1/2 to do two manifolds. Oh, and wear a face shield if you have it. Lots of little iron filings fly everywhere.

Help me Rhonda ! They have been great although he tried to kill me today pulling the 3/4" tape covering the scar off !! f**k me that's intense pain cause there is skin and hair and no easy way just this will hurt rip staples werent too bad though

My niece had one of these things taken out in december ,

took 9 hours in surgery.She was also 5 months pregnant as well,it was not malignent.

She is now 7 months gone but is not out of the woods yet,she got golden staph inside her skull,

proving hard to get rid of.

So glad you are doing so well look after your self. :)

Apparently the tumor was just penetrating the skull so they have to de calcify the piece if skull which will take another week he is very happy though so should be ok, that sucks for your niece best of luck with it. Sounds like we should have a tumor club not funny I know but funny how many ppl share similar experiences

I hope your story ends well

Unfortunately my wife's didn't, but she had a grade 4 glioblastoma multiforme, which is as aggressive as they get

That's really sad to hear mate.

I can't even imagine that....never want to either

    • Nah, they'll do it without a receipt, tell em roughly when it was, that it was cash, youll likely only get store credit, but that gets you some dollars towards the newer better shovel, or other item you need/want later.   Still take it back and have a crack at returning it.
    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
