    Rat Rodder down for a while

    In this day and time, I have nothing for anyone to steal identity or anything like that. However, I do have a wife and kids that I am afraid someone might try to take advantage of. I know most all have good intentions but one never knows any more. I'm not asking for anything by posting this...

    Rat Rodder down for a while

    Another update. This very well could be the last update I get to make. On day 45 of the transplant we got some preliminary results back on a skin biopsy. It showed positive for leukemia acutes. I have 100s of lesions that have popped out on my skin with the fevers over the last 3 weeks. The...

    Update= November 10, 2013. Today is day 40 post transplant. I am weaker than I ever remember being. I have had fever for the last 3 weeks or more and it just zaps the zip out of me. My last bone marrow biopsy is showing clear as well as shows that my new marrow is now the same as my sister's...

    Calling all 4x4 guys....

    It has to have some slack for one side to free wheel in a non power turn. Let one of the tires on the ground and put in neutral. The remaining lifted wheel should freewheel in both directions with a few jerks. It will sound like a ratchet and you can watch it work. When your power is applied...

    Reminds me of when I done this. Only you had a lighter car with a bigger machine. I took my 200r4 out this big boat that I drove in High School and put in my 55. I did block it up before I got under it. My little Samurai picked it up clean of the ground. The back bumper was blocked up and it...

    Another update Well, I'm day 15 after transplant. I got out of hospital yesterday. Only 20 days in this time. Was the worse round that I have gone through yet. I done a 3 hour outpatient this morn and will have to go back everyday for a while. My blood counts are returning fast because they are...

    Not like I want to be, but better than some. My last three days have been about the same. I have been able to set in a chair and work on model. I have also walked some out in the hall. I get last round of chemo tomorrow. That will be day 11 from transplant. One of the nurses said she usually can...

    Done a 55 last month in the hospital. I got 55 nomad to start next. I found a 4 door belair on line. You simply order the body from them and buy a donar car for the rest. It would cost close to 70 bucks. I figure 70 bucks of propane will let me get some drive time when Im better after Christmas...

    I think it's cool that it's a 56 FORD F-100. Sad thing, I was trying to figure out a way to get some rust and patina on it.

    It's day 8 after transplant. Didn't know if I'd ever make it to day 1. All has went as planned and I have good minutes and bad minutes. From the radiation and chemo days before transplant, as well as day 1,3,6,11 chemo after transplant, my G.I. track is fried at the moment. Only one left. I have...

    Tracy City, Tennessee

    Saturday September 7th. This is something my Church is doing. I really hope I'm out of the Hospital that day and able to make it. I may have to be in a bubble or something. I'm not interested in the proceeds, I just want all to have a good time. Tracy City, Tn is up on Monteagle Mountain, off...

    Rat Rodder down for a while

    It's me again. Still hanging in but it gets harder and harder. We kept waiting for my red blood and platelets to recover to get the biopsy. The white blood started coming up and the others started getting less. He went ahead with a biopsy and it confirmed that its still in there eating the...

    Rat Rodder down for a while

    I finally got out of the hospital today. Only 22 days this time. I do have to go back everyday for some time. I have to not get any kind of sick or they will put me right back. Please pray this stuff will stay gone. I will get another marrow biopsy in a week or two. After that, if it's clear, we...
