Well, I got my wish, sort of. The colonoscopy only revealed one polyp and it hadn't turned bad, but my doctor said it would have soon.
I got home and laid down for a while. About lunch time I got the urge to pee but couldn't. I tried drinking fluids but still couldn't go. I called my Dr. back about 3:30 but the office closed at one. The answering service paged him and he called me right back.
He told me to soak in a warm bath for a couple hours and if that didn't help go to the ER and get a catheter put in.
If you have never had a catheter inserted I pray you never have to! The only pain that compared to it was the pain from my bladder.
When the catheter finally got to my bladder the relief was immediate.
But, lab reports showed I had an Urinary tract infection too.
So, after two days of hell and heaven I am laying here with a tube in me and emptying a bag every 6 hours.
I was told that my prostate probably squeezed the urethra shut causing my problem.
I released 1900ccs of liquid before they let me go home. They also said I was very close to having my bladder burst.
I have to make an appointment with my Urologist in the morning, I hope the catheter doesn't hurt as much coming out!!

A basic manual tire changer and various add-ons to make it more user friendly.

Thinking an engine run stand or an inflatable paint booth. Have an engine I'd like to work out before installation and also plan on spraying the 67 GTO by early spring and another car later next year.

I almost bought a combination gift for myself - and 2 nephews 1 niece - yesterday/today.
But talked myself out of doing it.
Tractor Supply Co. put a mini-Willys Army Jeep Go Cart on sale from 2700 to 2000 for Black Friday.
I went and looked at one in person Sunday.
Today it dropped another 200 if purchased online. $1800
Had to fight temptation all day

Really cool go cart with 125cc "Honda-Copy" motorcycle engine with 3spd semi-automatic and reverse.
Electric start , posi axle, hydra disc brake , led lights etc..
Spare tire and spare gas can mounted on the back. Coil spring shocks.
25-30mph : stock

The reviews on them from the past 3 years don't mention any engine problems.

Main complaints were :
ALL the nuts and bolts need to be checked for proper tightness before any use.
Nerds were going full steam ahead without checking anything and having various failures from loose bolts caught too late.

Drivetrain and Suspension are more robust than the Chassis.
Too much off-road type whamming and banging WILL create frame cracks.

Drive chain from engine to axle is quite long.
Has a spring loaded chain tensioner mid-ship underneath that can suffer abuse when bottoming out over peaks or rougher terrain.

Adults could moderate level of abuse and be fine.
Kids will want to beat the hell out of them like a disposable toy / real jeep.

I still Want one, but don't Need one.
Would rather get the kids into dirt bikes with the money this spring.
They already have a little Honda crf 50cc

Carb issues more than anything for me but if you have the reviews that is something.

Will be fun either way I'm sure.
