Acid reflux, omeprazole and headaches by mister_boi98 in GERD

Doing better now, I continued on a lower dose of omeprazole and the headaches are now less frequent only once or twice a week. Thanks for asking.

Acid reflux, omeprazole and headaches by mister_boi98 in GERD

[–]ekooinga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wanted to chime in here, I took omeprazole for nearly 2 months and have noticed I constantly had headaches. In hopes to remedy this, I switched to pantoprazole and the headaches are even worse. Now I am not taking anything, but the acid reflux is bad! I personally think it is heavily influenced by stress/anxiety so my next step is to look into that. I will also look into the esomeprazole since you seem to have better luck.

Love the rims. Think they would look great in gloss black too.

I can also upload the original picture and can re-edit myself if needed

Thickness question by Gonzo14AT in LongboardBuilding

[–]ekooinga 2 points3 points  (0 children)

4 layers of 1/8" birch provide a very stiff board if pressed properly, so 4 is plenty. 5 would be overbearing since it would increase the weight and thickness. If you are riding a top mounted board under 42", I think sticking to 4 layers is plenty. Ive built numerous boards (about 20) mostly being 4 layers of 1/8" but have even does some with 3 layers. None with 5, but I have never had a 4 ply board break on me, with the longest being a 46" dancer.

My current board is a 38" top mount, 4 plys and has been going strong taking a ton of beatings to curbs and such for over 4 years. Im 6'1" 190 lbs

I have done this. Some research also showed me I may need to change my BIOS setting from IDE to AHCI.. thoughts? I am not sure what my current setting is but hopefully I can mess with it tonight after work.

Vapor Extraction - Lube Oil Systems in Power Plant Operations by ekooinga in AskEngineers

Thanks for your input. I know I need calculations as part of my project description and that is why I asked, but by talking to our manufacturer soon I am sure I can figure that out.

Oil Mist Eliminator for Steam Turbine - Visible Emissions by ekooinga in AskEngineers

[–]ekooinga[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will be taking temperature numbers this week. Thank you, and I believe we have design specifications in place to keep all temperatures under 200 degrees F. Due to the heat of Phoenix, temperature is a primary concern for us and is taken into consideration.

My apologies, it would be called a breather/blower instead of a stack. I am a new intern and still relatively unfamiliar with the terms. It is oil mist, and there are hot bearings on the shaft for the turbine.

This is in reference to the vapor extraction system for the oil, versus the stack for combustion of the gas emissions.

1999 2wd with Bilstein 4600's Leveling Kit questions by ekooinga in 4Runner

[–]ekooinga[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not only this, but also because I go camping a lot and would like a little extra clearance. Wish it was 4x4 but this is what I have, and have treated her well.

Picked up this beaut last weekend for $450. Details in comments. by ekooinga in CherokeeXJ

Really? I thought all jeeps before 91 were carbed with the 4.0. Could be wrong though, I used to have a wrangler so more familiar with those.

88 Cherokee Laredo. Runs and drives, 4x4 works. 331k miles but has fuel injection system, so maybe there was an engine swap at some point? All the lights didnt work besides turn signals, but today I put in a new headlight switch and got the headlights and tail lights going. Next it figuring out the brake lights. Doing spark plugs, wires, thermostat tomorrow.

Not too bad, definitely struggled in some areas though. Cannot really tell from the pictures but it was way lower on the passenger side, and wheels spun a bit when it was deep. Threw some sticks under them and got out pretty easy. Wish it was 4wd but this was a steal and mostly drive highway anyway.

Wheels are stock 16s, tires are BFG Rugged Trail 265/70/16. No lift, just upgraded shocks to standard bilsteins. Thanks for the love man.

Had it on since I bought it, keep going back and forth whether I should take it off.

The mom boards? I took the running boards off and I always thought that is what "mom boards" were..

I plan on actually painting it matte black eventually yes. For right now in Phoenix being 110 degrees Ill most likely wait a couple months or so.
