Bionic

Lol, its drinkable, but not preferred.

Evan Williams and cream soda....dont try it.

Damn meats still in crockpot

Fun in the kitchen on this rainy saturday in the southern tier. Just a before pic of tonights meal, since I love cooking, even though this really isnt cooking. Hoping it tastes better than the crockpot pic looks. It does smell GREAT though, for only being on for about a half hour.

Shredded beef tacos here at home tonight. First time meal here.

2 legged upright walking coyote. Lol Could it be a bear, or coyote just walking cautiously, like sneaking around... Or limping....?

I have to say, you are always a big help on so many topics. Probably all seems like common sense to you though.

Decided on seasoned fries, with colby jack cheese, dads homemade bacon chopped on top, with barbecue sauce.

Whatph?

One has a deer head on it, neat. Have you trued that one?

Don't tempt me with a good time! Mmmm, Castello's in Barryville.

No idea what to make for dinner

Yes, its somewhat ripped, it doesn't help that I lift weights, a few nights a week. Im a small framed guy though, kind of have like a sleep arm lol. Bother arms above defintely don't match.

Not necessarily, lol. Although, I have hit people with it, my older cousin, was a real you know what, and he corned me at my Aunt's house trying to impress one of his dirtbag friends. I hit him so hard with the fake arm he cried, and ran inside. Made himself look like a sissy in front of his friend, and some family. He was the type where if you complimented somethimg of his, he would say "I know".

I appreciate those words. I really am glad its found interesting to you, and other members. All the typing, and figuring out how to explain this stuff, is well worth it. I find it extremely interesting, and fun, and if I had the opportunity for a hand transplant....no, thank you. No thanks needed, glad you are enjoying it.

That is my work arm, I need that in order to use other TD's(Terminal Devices, which are the hands, and other electronic tools). That arm is real carbon fiber, blacked out somehow. Here is a photo of the same arm with the Greifer vice tool, I use, this pinches so hard, it hurts. Great for heavy manual labor. The pic with the gray clamp type vice. The pics with the hand, is my old old hand from 2007. This is actually the ILimb, I helped with beta testing that I briefly talked about. Also, a photo of hands that are now for parts, they have seen better days. They are ILimbs, but 3 versions of them.

Side note, I hooked up to a Bebionic, I was not impressed, it felt flimsy, and awkward shaped, the thumb was a manual thumb for as how it moves side, to side. Here are pics on my old work arm.

So I just got home from the prosthetic's office. Sunday morning, I actually fell on the snow covered ice, and landed directly on the fingers of the prosthetic. I heard a loud snap, and now only the thumb moves. I was assuming, I would be able to submit for repair, and also be approved to start the process of a new arm. Well it is either or at this point. My current arm is my favorite, and most comfortable, and most dependable that i have had. It is also the more characteristic, and just too much has gone into it to not utilize anymore. Options at this point, is to either repair the broken hand, submit for a brand new replacement hand, or see if insurance will approve a full new arm. I am long over due for a new arm as far as insurance guidelines go. The issue is, I was told thos hand will easily cost $5k-$10k or more to repair. The hand is over 5 yrs old, and that is a long life for a heavily daily used prosthetic. I was considering new setup originally, so I could swap hands on the go. The fancy painted arm, with the broken hand, can ONLY use THAT specific hand. At this point, the broken hand was left with the prosthetist, and will be shipped overseas to Germany for a repair price qoute.

Let me know how it goes, seems like a last resort option, but sounds like a difficult area to access

I have seen guys burn them on youtube after saturating them in veggy oil... Also heard of drilling them, and filling with salt, but thats a multi-year process if i understand right Maybe some of the smaller stump can be pulled with a come-a-long?
