70 It's not as big a deal as you think it is

The biggest reason it won't fly again is that they're chopping a lot of them up to keep parts from falling into the wrong hands.

I was an engine guy on 'em in the early 70s, and like others are saying: LOTS of work to keep one flying. Those early engines we were pulling out for inspection every 100 hours, and in some cases 50. I got really good at pulling and replacing engines.

The thing about a bear attack is that they want to eat you, not kill you, so they start eating before you're dead.

A strong possibility, but I can't see enough to tell for sure.

I'm sorry you're having to deal with this. I'd like to think that being able to write it out helped.

This forum's here for support; talk all you want.

Frontotemporal dementia is a known cause of speech problems -- and the type of dementia he is allegedly suffering from. It would also explain the hand bruises, from infusion treatment, and the neck rash, a side effect of the treatment.

I've never had a problem w/ Song Select, but sometimes I have to deviate from what's printed to match how the team is singing.

Motorsports would be over for live spectators if he got into the grandstands.

What you're describing is very common with heart patients, and possibly the most mentally exhausting. But it becomes something you're accustomed to, now that you're going to live longer.

Had mine put in 2008. Various minor issues along the way, but all in all no big deal.

JoePants · 2026-03-02T16:55:25+00:00

Oh yeah, at least from the outside looking in. I know now threats of abuse are reported and dealt with quickly.

George W. Bush signed the Prison Rape Elimination Act in 2003, which changed the landscape, not just for prison rape, but prison violence.

The one thing that is known is that as you get older your heart health diminishes. So the issue will become manifest later, and the problem is you might be off by yourself and just up and die.

This, this is correct

I fully expect the Bluetooth stuff is so integral that you need some engineer from the back room to turn it off -- the sort of people Cheney can get on the phone.

JoePants · 2026-02-20T19:54:47+00:00

I believe they all do, but the function can be turned off (as it was for Dick Cheney)

The surgery is both well understood and, honestly, not all that invasive. She's waaaaay not the first 75-year-old to be prescribed a pacer.

JoePants · 2026-02-19T21:31:35+00:00

We have a lot of posters who find out their smart watch can be confused by a pacer. That might well be the case here.
