What did you do with your Taco today

Yikes, how are you feeling now? One of my old neighbors had a triple bypass, and never left the hospital. An employee that retired from my shop had one too, but never fully recovered, living out his last couple years on a cabinet full of meds. Because I had a stoke over a decade ago, I get an ekg, and stress tested every 2 years.
Went to get in my truck this noon that was parked in the hot sun to do an errand. I burned my hands on the steering wheel getting in. When I fired the truck up, the temp on the dash said 112 degrees. It feels about a 100, or so outdoors today. One more day of extreme heat, and humidity tomorrow before it's back in the 80's.

Doing better every day. Hospital stay was rough. I was told the procedure would have me back home in 5-6 days. Complications kicked in…spent my first 7 days in critical care floor. Then spent another 7 days on recovery floor. Definitely would not want to go through that again. But doing better now. Going back to my part time job this Thursday.
Well, good to hear your still breathing. Many don't come out of that, Surgeon once told me no matter how minor an operation is, there's always a chance something can go wrong. No operation is considered minor.
I've been living with a small brain aneurism for years due to a couple concussions that surgeons want to fix. No way I'm letting them. Imo, the risk doesn't equal the reward. I'd rather get an mri every year to see if the aneurism has gotten larger. So far the medication I take to keep my bp lower than average has kept it from getting worse.

Is that at stock height?Swapped out the 2018 Sport wheels for a new set of five 17x8.5" Icons. Yes, I detest black and bronze wheels!
No, that truck has a lift. A guy I know has a lift in his gen3...said it rides like crap after vs the stock height. Just comes down to wanting more aggressive looks vs function. My gen3 is still all stock right down to the tires. Its got a very comfortable ride, and going to stay that way.

6112 Bilsteins in the front and 5100's in the back with a 1" block.
It rides and handles great.
Just played with a gen2 v6 taco that was spoiling for a race while going up this double 2 lane highway constantly running his truck in the other lane up next to my drivers window every time I sped up a little. When he motioned go...I saw him for about 30 ft, and never saw him again till i passed the the top of hill, becoming one lane. it looked like his truck was tied to a stump. 3rd gens rule.

Thanks. I understand what you are saying. I sure didn’t want to go through with this, but figured it was the best thing for me.
I could see it as a last resort, especially if you just don't have your health anymore.
Good luck on your recovery, and get back to normal so your not a stranger here.
Recently got back from my usual friday morning grocery shopping when a jacked up black jeep gladiator with 44'' tires, and loaded with light bars flashing them in my rear view mirror followed me back home, then sped off. Never saw this truck before. I think he must of thought I was someone else. At any rate he probably had a nice scenic ride for at least 6 miles.
