New World Datsuns...

Glad the medical stuff cleared up.

As for the Datsun parts, might as well unload and turn the useless greenbacks into something useful.

Oh boy , couldn't agree more

I drilled the stump and put salt in the holes, I read it can rot this stump out in a year, we shall see.

I have not been doing a lot Datsun wise lately, the only things that I have done were caused by code enforcement, the 1980 Datsun kingcab turbodiesel had to be moved because I had parked it on an unimproved surface(dirt next to driveway), I took it off the airjacks which they called inoperable, then I moved it to the driveway, took a photo, and then drove to the office and showed them, but the guy had to drive to my house and take a photo himself to close the complaint, he mentioned that he wished everyone was like me(I took care of it right away), I then asked him if I could put pavers next to the driveway so I could park the truck in that spot again, he did not know the answer to that question.

So I went back to the office and asked the same question at the permit section, they said if I were to park on it(the pavers) I would need a permit, but they had to send the request to another section to do some math, it appears one can only add to one's driveway if the storm sewer can support the extra driveway surface, they asked me for some measurements, I got the measurements which worked out to slightly less than 220 square feet of added surface and they sent the info to the other section, then my computer died.

It took a couple weeks to determine that my computer was not fixable, so I bought another one(Dell Inspiron 16), when I finally got back into my Gmail account I found a message from the city code/permit section that they approved me to expand my driveway by 220 square feet with pavers, what I thought was strange is they consider pavers an improved surface my neighbor looked up what they considered an improved surface, what is really crazy is one can legally completely cover ones property with pavers without getting a permit as long as one does not park a vehicle on it.

I will be buying the permit Monday unless they tell me I have to do something else.

Petty tyranny.

I was doing the same thing, so he had to open a complaint also, the neighbor was the one that code got the complaint about.

I have not said anything about this, I have not been able to sleep at all in any form(not even nod off for a moment) for 8 nights/9 days, I was beginning to think this was it for me, at 6 days of no sleep I went to the Legacy emergency room, they said I had Pneumonia, I have had it before and it was nothing like this, but now I understand that what I had in 2019 was a different type of Pneumonia, they gave me antibiotics(3 different types), one was thru an IV, and 2 were prescriptions I picked up the next day, these meds gave me diarrhea, when I picked the meds up the next day the pharmacist questioned me about why two different types, I shrugged as I did not know but they gave them too me, I took them that morning, by this time I wasn't eating much of anything or motived to do anything, I was not hurting nor was I hungry, but it said to take these meds with food like crackers/bread, or a small meal, that night I started coughing blood.

I went back to the hospital the next day without taking any more of them pills as they told me if anything changed to come back, this is 8 nights without any sort of sleep, I thought how long can one live without sleep, they did a CAT scan this time, and finally showed up with a rolling computer and showed me, they said in was Pneumonia, put me on IV antibiotics again, told me to go home when released and resume my prescriptions tomorrow, before he left I asked when I might see results, he said two days maybe and he left, I thought I have been on them for 2 days now.

That night I went to bed at midnight feeling no different, I put water next to the bed as the last few nights I would get dizzy if I got up, I laid down, closed my eyes, all of a sudden, my mind started getting fuzzy and it was getting clear as every moment past, like a dimmable light bulb was being turned on, I thought I am waking up but everything was still black, then I felt my body and I opened my eyes, I was still in the same exact position as when I laid down, but it was 6am something, that was the first time I have ever woke up in my life like that.

I talked to that doctor when he was in front of me and asked how I got this Pneumonia, he said you were likely sick(I was) and your immune was compromised, I asked where I got it, he said it is everywhere, even in the air.

I think everyone that knows me thinks I am overly paranoid about getting sick by getting too close to a vaccinated person, I let my neighbors kids look thru my telescope one night a few weeks earlier, the parents are not vaccinated, but the kids were to go to school, I think(don't know, think) they are why I was sick as vaccinated people make me very ill sometimes(one time for 7 months), but recently I have been letting my guard down I had done things I had not done in over 4 years, I got into someone else's vehicle and went into a crowded tropical fish store, I suspect I am going to get paranoid again and everyone is going to think I am crazy again, all I can say is once you have been thru 9 days and 8 nights without any type of sleep at all, then we can talk about it.

Damn man, take care of yourself the best way you know how. Don’t worry about what others think or say. If you feel like you need to stay away from vaccinated people then do it. I don’t know if that’s what’s going on or not but I know being paranoid is not something good for your health.

I am feeling much better now.
