I'm going to call the Doctors Office on Tuesday to see what progress they've made on the MRI and on the Biopsy, today they're closed, yeah I called, the phone rang and rang, then it went to the answering service, which is when I hung up.

Pioneer Cabin (Tunnel) Tree in California felled by storms

That is sad. I always wanted to go through it if I ever got out West someday. Is there another one like it out there?

Possibly in Yosemite National Park here in California, I don't know if one can drive thru that tree anymore, but if it exits, that's where you'd find it.

There are 2 left.

And for the daring ones:

I have an update on My kidneys, the referral for an MRI scan, and a Biopsy has not been approved as of yet My Doctor's Office has said, so I said I'd call back on Friday, otherwise I'm waiting for their call, there is not much more I can do, I did tell them I was having problems with My kidneys effecting My body temp, I sweat like Niagara Falls, even when it's below 60F outside, and that should not be happening, so I take Tylenol to suppress that, and any pain, which is affecting My sleep, plus My going to the bathroom.

My billing for the Medical Baseline Program should cut My bill some more on My electric and gas bill, 15% was mentioned(might be 16.5%, maybe), that I faxed to the management company who does the energy bills for the park, the free faxing is thanks to Carlos. I qualified back on Oct 12th 2016 for the Medical Baseline Program, now Yes Energy Management knows I do and in writing, so now they should pass that thru along with the CARE rate(20% discount) on My bill, CARE and the MBP are not government funded.

I sleep with a 20" floor fan on medium, in the winter or summer.

I have OA in My joints, the kidneys make pain on their own, and there is the kidney induced body temp I'm suffering from.

2-Time Release caplets(8hrs) @ 650mg ea caplet are helping, I'm following the directions, no more than 6 a day, otherwise nothing is happening.

I did manage to get the kitchen & My PC vacuumed mostly, I put a box away, mostly pushed that into a bedroom, then lifted it onto another box, I need more shelving.

The CT scan also revealed that a small part of My stomach is above My diaphragm(a hernia), which makes it hard to breathe.

My PC vacuumed mostly

Vic, vacuuming a PC out is the worst thing in the world that you can do and is very likely the cause of all your hardware failures as all vacuum cleaners create static electricity and will discharge it whenever & wherever possible.

Use a compressor with a moisture separator instead.

Cheers.

This was only on the outside just to the air filters, I've not had any hardware failures w/the Asus RIVE motherboard(though I can't say the case connector on top of the AZZA 9000B is designed too well, I have 1 damaged usb connector, which would cost $16 to replace the whole board, just to fix one bent usb connector, pulled out of its soldered location, the case might look impressive, but the main drive bays are too narrow, I bought it supposedly new, turns out someone owned it before Me, they tried to widen the 5.25" drive bays, that didn't work, they're still too tight).

The last motherboard had a hardware failure only cause the last motherboard tried to take in too much voltage to support 3 GTX295 cards on the 24pin motherboard connector, since that motherboard had no 12v aux power input on the motherboard for the video cards, the present motherboard(an Asus RIVE) and the 3 others(EVGA X79 Dark, EVGA P55 FTW, and Asus X58 R3E) all have an aux 12v power connector on the motherboard, the 1050w Enermax psu except for the 24pin power connector was at least was protected, it can be repaired w/a new connector, but that will eventually cost Me $100.00, but that is a ways off and is not a high priority, this cable is not a modular cable, so it has to be repaired, as the 1050w psu is only partly modular.

I have not had a motherboard fail since then.

I hurriedly put this PC together, since I needed a working PC fast, doing that makes Me break out in sweat and My back to hurt, since I am heavy, tall, and My abdomen pulls on My back.

2 fans need to have their power cables relocated, the 1 fan for the gpu needs a faster fan to be installed, I need to move 1 Dimm from a different channel, since 2 of My 8GB Dimms are sharing the same channel, and now I know why I have almost no energy to do work on almost anything, My kidneys have been the cause it seems, and now a real pain too.

Since I know My PC better than anybody, cause I'm the guy who built it, I do know what to do, I'm not worried, I have a Sears Kenmore vacuum cleaner.

So Wiggo, much as I like you, please, I do know what I'm doing.

So Wiggo, much as I like you, please, I do know what I'm doing.

The thing is Vic you've been spending all those few $'s of yours on obsolete parts back when I put my 2500K rig together (6yrs ago?) and your still no better off years later and I've replaced my old Q6600 setup with a 3570K plus gone through several GPU upgrades on both rigs in all that time.

Now lets see Vic, I've likely spent much less $'s on hardware than you over the years, but look at my RAC compared to yours.

I go forwards while you still go backwards, quite frankly you need a big change in direction and thinking buddy. ;-)

Cheers.

BS, I have not spent a penny in over a year, and obsolete? The Asus X79 RIVE is as advanced as I could afford on My income, but then I don't have your huge income, My income in 2017 is $10,748.64 a year, you get more than I do, but then I'm not able bodied anymore, I do the best I can with what I have.

I'm sure not going to spend money on the latest, since I can't afford an X99 system, cpu, and ram with what I get a month, I do have, rent, food, 2 bills, DMV and smog in September, property taxes in December to pay, I'll be lucky if I can afford to buy 1 GTX1060 video card in November 2017 or so, then it would have to go on a credit card.

We have a saying here, "talk is cheap".

And no I don't want anything from you, I would not accept it, not after this.

Vic, I'm a pensioner too so I don't know where you get the idea that I have a huge income, but I won't waste good $'s on old outdated power hungry 2nd hand hardware that just sits around gathering dust as you have.

I prefer to just go for new mid range hardware that gets used straight away as I can afford it and sell off what I replace where possible.

I'm just about to clear another quarterly power bill, replace the front disk rotors and lower ball joints on my car and then I may just get another 2 GTX 1060's for my birthday present to myself, but I've saved up to do all that and without a credit card or Go Fund Me in sight.

Cheers.

Victor Valley Imaging just called, they asked Me My height and weight, when I told them My weight, they said their CT scanner went up to 360, not 435, so they are going to call My Doctor and see if they can redirect to the BCH CT scanner, which can take My size and weight, though only barely.

I've taken My pills for the morning, including 2 extended release caplets. More waiting.

I'm expecting a call back from Victor Valley Imaging, they have an office in Corona, I'm told by My Doctors Office, that can accommodate Me,


@ Carlos: I have a Black and White Cat, Friday the 13th does not scare Me...

VTTBOTS does though...

It'll take maybe 2 hours to get there from here, ugh, I have got to leave at 10am.
