One of these days I may get some rest. Between partying this past weekend, to having to rush the single most important life I know to the emergency animal hospital, to the day-to-day grind of work.
Wrath is doing well. He had a scary moment at the house after generally not doing well all day. He had just come back inside from a pee that lasted for-ever, when he decided he didn't want to climb the last 2-3 stairs. I coaxed him up them but he then collapsed and didn't respond much to anything. The ER vet ran some tests and gave me about the best news I could have hoped for. All negative on the results. This also meant we had to dig deeper. I returned home monday night with my boy and brought him to his regular vet on Wed. After doing some more comprehensive tests and another thorough physical exam we ended up pretty much where we started. "Everything seems ok" Well the blood test results will be in on Fri. and we should have a much more clear picture. The old guy has already surpassed his "optimistic" post cancer operation estimate of life expectancy. They said he probably only had 6-12 months at that time. We are now at 19 months. Its all about maintaining quality of life now.
On the work front I came in on Wed. to a Porsche Carrera Cabrio on my lift. I was to do a simple oil change (all 10 qts. of it!) and a compression test. Nothing too extravagant but it was a job to pop my cherry with the Porsche. Up to this point Doug has been taking care of the Porsche customers. He was on the dyno so I got my opportunity. With the oil change done I performed the compression test. Pending the results our customer was wanting to put a turbo kit on the car. With compression numbers I got (only a 4 psi variance between all 6 cylinders), looks like I will be posting in the future about the results of the turbo kit install.
Back to running and a more healthy diet. Since my low weight of 183 lbs ( I started at 229), I have put a healthy 19 back on. I got lazy. So since I started back with the running and diet 10 days ago I have lost 7 lbs again. It was so easy to get back into the habit it makes me upset I waited so long. I would like to get back down to 185 lbs.
Patience is not one of my strong character traits, but Im trying. Paralyzation due to over analyzation has bitten me before, so I got vaccinated (thank you Jessica). I heard somewhere that persistence pays, how do you persist without becoming annoying? I love Zombies, Steam Punk, and Dubstep. I'd pay a lot to go see Zombies dressed in Steam Punk dancing to Dubstep.
