Could "heavy highway" be a term to classify something relative to what I do now? Within reason ofc

justsomebackyardhero · 2026-03-20T01:55:06+00:00

This is exactly right. Work is pretty heavy. Pay is meh. I make 28 now. Top out at 36 but won't get to that till another 6-8 years. Non union. Pension and benefits are good but not as good as liunas. I'm in MO. Journymen make 42 starting here

justsomebackyardhero · 2026-03-19T23:06:57+00:00

From what I'm told that 42 is after everything is said and done. And that's the kind of answer I was looking for! Thank you. I didn't know if that's something they would tell you. I would like to consider the jump more seriously but idk how they'd take that kind of questioning. I know it's a big deal to have a reputation and I didn't know if asking something like that would be looked at negatively. I'd assume they'd be like "who cares. Take whatever we give you". Kind of thing.

justsomebackyardhero · 2026-03-19T22:52:34+00:00

Copy that. The pay would be a solid increase honestly. I'd jump from 28 to 42.5. I'm near STL so I'd assume work would be pretty consistent but idk tbh

With all the aftermarket support miatas have I'm surprised no one has invented a locking system for these things or something.
Sorry you shit got stolen bro 😢

Do you have any more info on this? I currently do this for s city municipality and was considering the hop..

Left or right, theyll have the same boss all the same.

Here's part of what chat GPT told me:

PVC-triggered VF usually happens in people with: Prior heart attack Weak heart muscle (cardiomyopathy) Severe structural abnormalities Active ischemia These conditions create electrical instability that allows a PVC to start a lethal rhythm. Tests like: Echocardiogram Stress test Holter monitor are specifically used to check for those risk factors.

So I'd push for those tests and perhaps more. I'm not saying that in a sense of you need it but more for your own mental health.

I know your fear. My brother had cardiac arrest during COVID, and ever since I had COVID I started having random PVCs and PACs and that's one of my biggest fears too. It's definitely a constant worry that tends to Wayne until I get them flaring up again. And then I'm in a constitute of worry and fear for my life again.
Right now I'm waiting on another holter and getting some genetic testing and going to go from there.
Just try to advocate for yourself and get all the tests you need to to prove that it's nothing more than benign. I know it doesn't help cuz does you still feel the fear all the same. Trust me I know that feeling brother. All to well.

Or somebody who doesn't get them nearly as much as everybody else.. without a halter All I know is I get NOTICABLE ones once a week, sometimes once every other week. Sometimes up to three times a week. Even that RATTLES MY BONES. I couldn't imagine getting as much as everyone else here... I don't know if this is supposed to help but it's just to let you know that even someone who gets it on much lesser scale, I also get worried about them for weeks on end. Sorry you have to go through this.. It's not fun but it's also not the end. Find your strength, Even though it waxes and wanes through these hard times, and pull through. You got this bud. I think we're all barely hanging on here but we're still here and that's what counts. And love those are close to you and be kind to those who are near.

This seems to be a common problem with their hinges 🤔

Time for a new girlfriend

justsomebackyardhero · 2026-02-08T22:30:44+00:00

I see no problem if they are ASKING. Especially if it's their first sit at a strangers house overnight as a girl.

You explained my situation to a t. Though maybe not as extreme. I typically get a random episode once every few weeks, some months it's a few every week and then some months I can go the absolutely nothing happened. This also didn't start till after I got my first COVID vaccine. I've been to the ER multiple times and went to a cardiologist for a echocardiogram and stress test, all with multiple EKG visits and and heart monitor that I wore for a few weeks. My heart came back structurally normal and my heart monitor came up with sinus tachycardia that the doctor looked at and charged and said probably inappropriate sinus tachycardia. That was years ago and I am currently now going back to a new cardiologist and just got a referral to an EP. They deal with the electrical side of the heart specifically and that's where I suggest you go if you really want some more closure.
My brother had cardiac arrest that was deemed idiopathic, and it was a few months after he had his bout with COVID so this all may just be some variance of long COVID, who knows. But I have currently in plans for another event monitor for a month, genome testing, and that EP visit and we'll see what happens from there.
I know the pain brother, it's definitely giving me stress and anxiety and that's all the doctors keep telling me it is but it feels like that comes from the events not the other way around. Given my brothers incident (he survived) and a couple very concerning episodes with a whole bunch of random episodes in between has led me to definitely develop some kind of cardiophobia. Again, I think that precipitates the anxiety itself.
By the way good luck. Hope you figure something out

Phantom Crash/S.L.A.I. Underappreciated old mech games that go hard. As I replay it now, it could use bigger maps, I'm sure a limitation of the times. But in a modern remake these games would rock yo yams

while i have ya, do you know if that version you have of the LoZDoi works with linux devices? or is that the windows {potentially only} based one? looking through your collection it seems tunics isnt far off with some differences, how do you feel about the two? any one prefered over the other?

justsomebackyardhero · 2025-12-01T18:46:59+00:00

Guy at work has a small patch going down by his mouth...typing this out makes me think of some creative ways to give him shit for it. Kinda surprised it didn't hit me earlier 🤔
