rats....now I think I have what they call "Posterior Tibial Tendonitis"....lovely...watch me have to get a cast.....when it rains it pours! :lol2

you think or the Dr said? not trying to be an @$$ dude. = really don't think they cast for that.. tendonitis is just swelling of the connective tissue that holds the muscle to the bone. you know on the chicken drumstick that gross chewy thing that is best just to pull off. the good news is at the worst they put you in a boot or knee immobilizer. is it your knee or ankle that is bothering you? they will also give you ibuprofin to reduce the swelling and tell you to stay off of it as much as possible. 13 years as a medic I did learn something. oh yeah. the posterior is saying it is on the back side and tibial is describing one of the two bones that make up the lower leg. they have long fancy words that they use to describe the location and of course scare the crap out of you.

Morning all!

rats....now I think I have what they call "Posterior Tibial Tendonitis"....lovely...watch me have to get a cast.....when it rains it pours! :lol2

I was the one doing the diagnosis, doc. And if you look at what I said..."watch me have to"...it was more like a "knowing my luck, it will be worst case scenario (because, in my research, I have seen that it is required in some instances) "...not "I HAVE to get a cast".

Well, as it turns, my diagnosis was bang on. Ended up headin down to emergency at 4 this morning when the pain finally hit it's apex....oh...and the doc had no idea what it was...I told him what I thought...he went out to some med. books, and sure enough.... Good news is though, he thinks that being on crutches for a few days should be all I will need to get it fixed up.

Oh, and just to let you know...I know what "posterior" and "tibial" means...hence the ability to figure it out on my own. :thumb:dunno

      Stratos 70 on windshield, what is this?

      Captain Obvious has two cents err senses to share: 1) The film should be removed and replaced, because it appears to have adhesive blemishes that shouldn't be there, and 2) The film should be reviewed/inspected once taken from the roll to avoid losing time and resources due to manufacturing issues. Little pieces not so much, but back glass and windscreen pieces ... definitely.

      Olfa blades are not as sharp as they used to be

      I switched so long ago... first to KDS but they went away. NT are great though. I use a piece of white strapping material as a cutting buffer between the blade and glass. Some use a button but I didn't like the feel..

      Headlight Taillight Vinyl question... (Looking for CHROME)

      I'm looking for a chrome/mirror wrap for headlights/taillights. No NEOchrome, just a mirror or chrome appearance. Looking to spice up a project. Looking for transparent so can see lights thru film. I have looked and can't find what fits the bill. Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance.

      Stratos 70 on windshield, what is this?

      I can't win with getting tint decent on the windshield. I had 3M on my F150 done twice and still has major defects. Recently did Stratos twice on my F350 and I see this granular spotted, texture pattern on the tint. It's super obvious in the corner here but also right in my view when driving. It's honestly hard to point out and show someone but when your driving and stuff is moving behind the windshield, it becomes more obvious. The lighting also matters. The first time I did the windshield, I had a two foot line on the windshield. Thinking it was tint, they removed the tint and it was apparently a defect in the Ford windshield. An issue between the laminated glass layers caused this big defect. So they removed the tint, I had Ford replace the windshield on a 2024 F350 but when the tint shop removed the tint, they made a bunch of micro scratches in the front windshield, probably from scrapping the glue off. I told them but I didn't care since Ford was replacing the windshield anyways. So if basically I'm trying to figure out what this texture stuff is and if I should have them replace or remove it. Replacing it might just have different issues but also afraid they will scratch the windshield.

      I would direct you to Express Window Films web site. They sell Global brand after setting up an account with them. They are reasonably priced and they do partials. Can't go wrong with Global.

      Need some help

      Never overlook the condition of the floor. Back when I did install, I used to mist the floor between the vehicle and the peel board. This is done between misting the window and walking toward the peel board to mist the pattern liner, peel liner and spray adhesive for install. Tacks any dust for the duration of each pattern install, so repeat each time a pattern is going to be installed.
