Wanna hear about old timers?

I had a fucking stroke last Wednesday! I'm 52 fucking years old!

My God I've been poked, prodded, stuck, and scanned from my head to my toes. Good to know that all looks good, except for a small spot on my left frontal lobe that was starved of O2 for a few minutes on Wednesday. Fortunately a 100% recovery, no lasting effects. It affected my right foot and leg for a little while twice last Wednesday. I was out drilling and sampling and characterizing soil samples in the back of the LR4 and my right leg just turned off around 8:30 AM. I called the driller over to watch me and we talked for a few minutes and all went back to normal. Finished the job, took my samples to the labs, stopped by the local watering hole for a beer, then on the way home my right leg felt weird again. Got home, grabbed the wife, and hit the ER right away at about 2:30. Kept me for a few days and found a little stroke action up there. No idea why, everything else is normal. Fucked up shit man!
Very sorry to hear and hope it all works out for you. Ya just never know what life will throw at you next!!

Thoughts and prayers for full recovery are out to you Blue.

I was back to 100% on Wednesday about an hour after I checked into the hospital. Thankfully no lasting effects. Right leg is same as it always was and I'm the same asshole I always was.
Holy shit. I'm glad you're on the mend.

Yeah my buddy and I are always talking about that shit. We both worked our asses off and saved for retirement. We had all kind of plans for early retirement. Now all the health problems start. SURPRISE! Good thing we can both retire cause we really can’t work

Sounds like a job for Chapman.....


Documents state there was infidelity in the couple’s marriage. In 2005, Simoneau began soliciting sex on Craigslist several times a week. Many of those posts solicited male/male sexual encounters.

Anyone still talk to Peter Sherman?? I met him once through Thom. I drove past his place today and saw a RRC, D1, and NAS 110 all just rotting away.... :cry:

I am so glad that most of you are still here. I have always enjoyed Discoweb. Hope to see you all soon, maybe an ECP outing or another Anti-MAR at "The Cove"

Haven’t been here in a while and came to let the old timers know of the passing of Mike Fisher, but it had already been posted. I miss the old DWEB days, early internet shenanigans. Hope everyone's doing well.. Rob
Yes, his wife posted on Facebook yesterday. It is tragic - he's been battling cancer for over a decade.
Oldtimers rank begin to thin out...
