Thank God for modern medical science! It's amazing what they can do now.TeamHavocRacing wrote: ↑Sat Oct 14, 2023 7:01 am No. The last bubble has dissipated and it's still blurry. Slowly getting better. I have a big floater in there and will probably need that removed later. Tuesday after next I get a check up and I'll ask about it. Old age sux!

Re: MXS Twitter
For years, anytime someone has a laser out and is playing around with it (R.I.P. Jeff Alessi) I always say "Careful, you can detach a retina with that, but if you go to medical school long enough, you can reattach it!" The green laser she used on me was 200-300 milliwatts and it was all I could do to not flinch with every pulse and/or close my eye! It felt like a jab with a finger every pulse. She said I did fine. It was a total of three dilations, three needle pokes(one for the gas, two for lidocaine) and never an eye patch. I guess I'll upload some pix.

Here's the cross-section of the laser scan showing the detached retina. It's almost normal now. It's just like looking through wet glass now.

Here's the Doosan Puma 700 XLY II Mill-Turn. 16 1/2 foot X 29 1/2" diameter capacity.
Here's the car-munching blades being assembled into a full shredding machine. See the gloves on the left for scale.

What are the teeth made of? Must be something hard if it has to shred springs and gears.

Heat treated 4140. Hard ChroMoly. Any harder and they'd be too frangible and shatter under shock load, even though it has a reversal mechanism. The blades are held to .0005" tolerance on the thickness. I work adjacent to where they test the machines. It's a seismic event sometimes and when you're on a finish pass, it can act like a seismograph and telegraph the vibration right into the OD. It's SSI Shredding Systems.

R.I.P. Anthony "Go Show" Gobert.
He was the first roadracer I saw that would "back it into the turn". I first saw him doing that at the Daytona 200. When I first saw that I thought he was wiping out! I remember him for his green hair and saying he couldn't wait to try Budweiser. He struggled with addiction and crime after his initial success. It's really weird because in the last month or so I started getting back into his highlight reels.

I walked up to Osari52 tonight and interrupted his conversation to welcome him to TNMX! Thanks for what you've done for, and are doing for this community! What a bro!
