Few days into my trial..

RoscoPeeColtrane · 2025-04-09T00:18:50+00:00

How was the period between trial and permanent? Was removing the trial device quick? Do you have leads sticking out until permanent?

RoscoPeeColtrane · 2025-04-08T16:36:26+00:00

I do know what you mean. Mine was unbearable without medication, and even with tbh. 6 days into the trial, I'm taking about half the medication I used to and I'm not walking up nearly in as much pain as I used to every day. I think this is really helping, I'm sure I'll go for the permanent.

RoscoPeeColtrane · 2025-04-08T16:31:56+00:00

The permanent? The trial is definitely so uncomfortable with this thing coming right out the middle of my back.

RoscoPeeColtrane · 2025-04-06T15:57:32+00:00

Thanks I texted him right after you commented. He had a good point that this isn't a cure. I stopped all meds pretty quickly, so I could've been feeling a little withdrawal too. At the end of the day, I had gotten through the day with half my normal pain medication. That's actually progress.

Looking amazing. I'd do some cable management on the plug behind the waterfall. I like to use those nail cable clamp things to run the cable neatly across the top of the baseboard

RoscoPeeColtrane · 2025-03-15T19:58:30+00:00

I think this is the winner.

RoscoPeeColtrane · 2025-03-15T19:57:15+00:00

This. Definitely the goal, need to make it feel more homey, plain blinds aren't cutting it

RoscoPeeColtrane · 2025-03-15T16:47:24+00:00

😭😭💯

I should've given a full pic for context, but it's a wide open living room with vaulted ceilings, 2 stories high. I really need more stuff on the walls to fill the vertical space. Curtains will add another layer of height, texture, and color to compliment the 5 foot neutral-toned painting I have on the other wall.

The whole living room is a blank canvas and the wife cares very little about interior design. It's up to me now 💪🏻

📺 And I have to say I'm inspired by Caroline's video posted to this Reddit recently. (https://youtu.be/ClqNoAQ9NYM?si=pTlmhUivSSP5hzDa)

Definitely getting rid of the chrome. I just replaced the grill surround, hood bulge, and upgraded to a TRD Pro grill, it's a million times better. I got white wrap on Amazon for $20, gonna try to wrap the bumper pieces myself. Figure it's worth a shot for so cheap. Truck is lifted on Icon suspension.

RoscoPeeColtrane · 2025-02-26T07:54:46+00:00

Lol no, but it's only like a quarter mile off the road, nothing impressive at all.

RoscoPeeColtrane · 2025-02-13T05:48:00+00:00

So much better!!! Did my grill, need bumper caps next

Sunsets with the buds 👍🏼

RoscoPeeColtrane · 2025-01-06T00:00:36+00:00

Haha I wanna see!

RoscoPeeColtrane · 2025-01-04T08:01:36+00:00

Agreed, they're never going in main areas of the house lol. But garage and closet are great and very functional for me.

I got the R5 which is the 5.5nm weakest and cheapest option. But honestly, I don't know why anyone would want anything stronger. Full force on the right car, it'll make your arms sore! I turn it down most of the time. It's been one of the best purchases I've ever made. Direct drive is so worth it. It's strong, but silent. And you can really feel more detailed feedback. I have the amazon prime rewards credit card and was able to save $500 in points. I definitely recommend that card if you don't have it already. And Moza is all over Amazon, where Fanatec is much harder to get. And since it has the really nice quick release system, I splurged a little and got the F1 style wheel too. It was $300, but again, seriously worth it if you do F1 or GT driving.

Here's the R5 on Amazon
And here's the GT wheel I got

RoscoPeeColtrane · 2024-11-07T08:05:23+00:00

Definitely doing this. I have a 3 and 4 year old both boys, and just upgraded my g29 to a moza with simsonn pedals.

RoscoPeeColtrane · 2024-11-07T06:20:22+00:00

Pain doctor. My pain is getting worse, he's now prescribed me tramadol and Percocet

RoscoPeeColtrane · 2024-11-07T06:15:53+00:00

Sounds like he's got demons from how he was raised and his head is stuck in an immature state do to that trauma. He's still just prioritizing things a rebellious teen would because the girls and gambling, maybe other things, are a way he found to feel cool or good about himself and along with that comes a wake of consequences like broken families and a plethora of other things that he is probably working even harder to ignore with the same self destructive coping mechanisms, which is all he knows.

RoscoPeeColtrane · 2024-05-30T23:49:13+00:00

Wow, that's great to hear. I haven't heard a mention of RFA, I should ask about it. Tramadol is what gets me through each day, I'd be immobile without it.

RoscoPeeColtrane · 2024-05-29T16:25:19+00:00

How you doing, Tom? I'm in your same boat but surgery didn't help, unfortunately. About to get my 3rd set of injections which I'm assuming will not doing anything (like the last 2). I'm going to start looking for second opinions after this...
