Jeep humor waiting room ( ** NO POLITICS ** )

While we're at it, my Mother in Law is a Colon Cancer survivor. When I first met her she was in the middle of Chemotherapy, and was flat out exhausted all of the time. She's doing great working in a nursing home now. We're still concerned about the cancer returning.

Amen to that!!!
My mother was a breast cancer survivor (just shy of 10 years) and the week after Easter she went to the hospital for some intestinal issues that had come on. They initially told her Pancreatic cancer, then backed off that and said well maybe not. Then she was told ampullary cancer. They were starting to look at performing a Whipple procedure for that. They said there was something on the CT scans that they weren't quite sure of. They performed a laparoscopy to see what was going on. The oncologist then said she had stomach cancer that had been there for a while, so the Whipple procedure was off the table. They then started chemo for the stomach on Tuesday June 1st. Friday the 4th she was so sick that her doctor told my sister to take her to the ER. They began ran some tests and then she slid downhill extremely fast. I got to the hospital just in time. I got to tell her I was there (she was unresponsive and on her final breaths). I told her it was ok to let go. She took one more breath and that was it. I really wished they would have performed an autopsy so we could know exactly what she had going on and so we know for family history. You can bet your sweet ass that I will not delay any more of my screening.

** a sucky side note: she passed in the same room that my younger brother passed away in 9 months ago

Oh man, wrenching ... So sorry

Ok jeeples, I need help because the instructions on this are clear as mud. Attaching the hoop to the EAG front bumper, here are the directions:
Locate supplied M8 Allen head bolts. Slide a supplied nylon and flat, split washer onto each of the bolts. Push the bolts through the holes in the hoop mounting plate and through the holes in the bumper.

The part in bold is where I'm scratching my head. As written, the nylon goes onto the bolt first, THEN the flat washer, THEN the split washer. THEN push the bolt through the holes. Seems to me the nylon should be touching the bumper to prevent scratching and would therefore go on last in that lineup. I would also think the flat and split washers would not be right next to each other like that. I would think the split washer would go on AFTER you slide the bolt in, before you put the nut on. So in my head it should be flat, then nylon, then push the bolt through, then split, then nut. I can't find a video that actually shows this part.

I'm inclined to agree with you. Usually the lock washer is next to the nut.

Shoot me a PM if interested and I'll copy the info over to you.

Thank you and I do appreciate the offer, but it's too late for me. Two types of treatments have failed and the last option left, the drug Lonsurf which I start in a couple weeks, has a dismal success rate. My Oncologist is very, very good - one of the top rated in Canada - but there's only so much she can do. I'm stage 4 and it just won't get any better. But I'm learning to deal with it and I have my JL to play with on the good days, so it's not all doom and gloom.

Nylon washer to protect finish on outside , then bolt through hole, then metal flat washer and then "split washer", and finally bolt. There should always be a metal flat washer in between a lock ("split") washer and the object being bolted.

I'm going to say if there's not some variety of meat on it, it's not a real taco. (GFY Vegans)

I got in the double-double line early (10:30AM)

Sweet Tooth on Netflix.

Is that good?

If y'all haven't caught it yet, watch "Wayne" on Prime (a Youtube original series). I quite enjoyed it.

Not for children. Lots of violence and cussing.

lol, Oh it wasn't my $4 that was used to purchase these imposter tacos. But who turns down any sort of free tacos I'll make up for them around dinner time.

I was thinking that but failed to follow thru. Thanks for helping her. I'll go stand in the corner now.

All the best to you, Mike. You seem to have a great attitude.
