  1. I can speak from experience and it was absolutely debilitating for about two weeks. Couldn’t sit in a chair, stand, etc. had to shit and piss on the floor, crawl into shower, so damn awful. The idea of physical therapy during that is laughable. Never took any narcos though. Steroids and gabapentin and 5?ibupropheb Avery 4 hours. None of that even remotely helped pain.

  2. My son went snowboarding for the first time last year and got a taste for speed and jumps by day 3.   Anyway, it's a powder day and he takes a weird twisting fall into knee deep powder.  He's shaken up but seems ok, we go up to the top for lunch, but he eats with his goggles on, it's a bluebird day and we are on the patio, ok, strange kid...  He wants to take a picture of him at the top of the mountain (Florida boy and it's nice out)   I can't convince him to take of the goggles, he says the sun is in his eyes...

    (Notice the shadows?)
    after bitching and moaning for a few minutes I give up trying to get a shot of his face and we head down the mountain.   Things are not going well and he is randomly crashing... it's the last day of our trip and I figure he is getting tired and careless, so I reign him in and we make our way down on greens and easy blues at a slow pace...  but homeboy is fine for a few minutes then not so much.  At the bottom I tell him lets call it a day and he starts crying...wtf?   I ask what's wrong and he says he doesn't know.  Then the light comes on...  he's concussed, with a helmet, on a powderday, and no vicious knocks to the melon.  Get home, see a neurologist...  yup concussed AF.   Fun fact twisting of the head, not impact, is MUCH more likely to cause a concussion.
    tl/dr Glad your kid's alright...  during that 4 day trip several people died in Tahoe.     

    Sorry man. For Florida
  3. Yea, get a pneumatic chisel. Home Depot rents a Hilti model with several attachments. Grinding cement inside is a baaad idea and should be avoided if at all possible.

     

    Ceramic tile on floor is fine in residential application where freeze/thaw is not an issue.

     

    Also, simply walking on a floor before thinset has fully cured shouldn’t be cracking tile. Something else is going on. Did you inspect slab for cracks and check flatness before installing?

  4. So taking a last minute road trip to Breck. Leaving this afternoon. Question is, will we be okay taking the wife’s 2wd suv, or should we take my 4wd truck? No off-roading involved here, just the main roads there, back, and around town while there.

  5. Had a single buddy visiting for a few days from out of state. It was general knowledge that he was on the hunt for older ladies while down here. Last night before he left, wife and I were sitting around talking and she asks him how the puma hunting went. Took both of us a second before we looked at each other and started snickering.
