GT225 using bigger string

[Hammermechanicman]

You may want to look around for a used stihl FS80. Lots of lawn services used them and as long as the oil was mixed properly they are pretty bulletproof. Can take a brush blade so 130 string no problem. 59cc vs the echo 21cc. No comparison.

That sounds like PT is screwing those neck bolts too tight again. Referring to his avatar.

Back pain will make you think crazy stuff sometimes.

I finished that darn pond yesterday. OMG. I finally got to some more level ground and was able to use her big swisher weed eater. It was just back and forth, instead of up and down.
My internals are going to enjoy several days without pain meds.

Doctors don't care like they use to. I having to try to find one that will put me back on the BP meds that was working. Dr Charles Kidd here has refused to do anything about getting me back on the right meds that he change without even discussing it with me.

This morning BP was 179/109. with the previous med it would be 130/90.

But as for pain meds most doctors will not even prescribe them at all. They think we all are dope heads; therefore, we just looking for a fix. Well I wish them the same pain without being able to get the meds themselves.

Don't forget about Big Brother.
Every prescription that gets filled in for you is recorded on a state and perhaps even a national data base .
So some pencil neck on the 22nd floor in a government building will be keeping tabs what you are taking to ensure that the doctors are not contraveining prescription regulations.
Note he does not care if you live or die and is only interested in prosecuting the doctor .
With a lot of blood pressure meds there is a limit on the time you are allowed to take them for.
I ran into that problems with the Steroids I was on for the RA
I wanted to keep on them till shearing was over just in case there was a relapse because holding down alpacas is quite a difficult job and they really don't like having a hair cut.
Should I loose grip then the 4 of us risked very serious injury
So I had to drop to 1/4 dosage for 3 months to make sure I had enough for full doses during the shearing month.
Also a lot of medications have a diminishing effect over time .
I don't know about the USA but down here the best answers I get about the effect of medications come from Vets .
Placental mammals all get the same medicine , just in different amounts but those who treat more than 1 species of animals seem to have a far better knowledge of what the drugs actually do & the risks of over prescribing or treating for too long than any GP I have ever talked to and judging upon what the pharmasist put on the label more than chemists as well .
My specialist was fantastic & loaned me a big folder of research papers to read on Hydroxychloroquine , Methotrexate & Prednisone because he realized I would make the effort to read & could understand ( almost ) what I read .

Meloxicam, or something like that works pretty good. When I could get hydrocodone, I wouldn't take it unless the pain was severe. I had one bottle for a couple of years. Try and tell a doctor that you only need one small prescription of that per year and they think you're lying.
