So what you're saying is you're not an adhesive event. Poor Sarah.

Well I shipped that heart monitor to Pennsylvania Friday, as instructed by the cardiologist.
Hematologist says there's no hyperglobulance. Blood not prone to clotting. I don't know if that means I can stop giving her aspirin every day.
Epilepsy got worse. 2-3 seizures a day for over a month, but after a few tweaks in her meds by the epilepsy neurologist, it's been 5 days without a seizure.
Blood pressure is still running low except now it's spiking as high as 140 and dipping as low as 77. And it's vascular tension. Pulse is pretty steady (and low) even during the spikes. Vascular tension is controlled by a part of the brain that was damaged by the stroke.
All the other parts of the brain seem to have recovered though. So this is weird.

I have no words but appreciate the update. Hopefully it gets figured out.

I made a big hole in the bathroom floor.
Squirrels filled the plumbing roof vent with walnuts.
Can't access the bottom of the vent pipe from the crawl space. Can't get past the main pipe. Only 8 inches between the top of the pipe and the floor joists.
The shop vac hose fit perfectly into the rubber thingy on the vent pipe but it wouldn't suck out the obstruction because for some reason it's a 4" pipe at the roof, but necks down to 2" somewhere in the attic which is not accessible.
So I reversed the shop vac and blew the walnuts all up onto the roof.

I've been thinking about making (or buying) some kind of little bird house type of roof to go over it. It'll keep rain out too. And those little helicopter seeds from the maple trees.

Rain is okay, it helps to keep the walls of the pipe a bit cleaner. Plus, it just goes to the tank or the sewer. It's the solid stuff from the rodents that gets expensive.
H/D may sell you a foot or two or some chicken wire. Tie wraps or worm gear clamps will hold it in position.

I don't think wire mesh would last long. I put it over my PVC boiler exhaust thing to keep birds out but it rusted through in less than one winter.
I ended up making a cover for it out of a plastic floor drain strainer.
Maybe I can do something similar with the plumbing vent.
The vent pipe is steel. Probably was galvanized. There's lots of rust on the inside. I think keeping it dry is best.
From the big pipe, it's plastic up to about the max height water would ever get up to unless it's clogged.

Why not try some of that leaf mesh they make for spouting?

The problem is I simply need to remember it next time I'm at Menards. I'm sure I'll find something.

That would be perfect. But I don't understand the stuff at the bottom. I'd need it to slip over a 4 inch galvanized pipe. Or plug into the inside, that'd work too.

New toy. Got it free with locked up engine.
Got engine loose and started.
It went 25 mph til I removed the jackshaft, switched the rear sprocket and made an idler for the chain.
Now it goes 43 mph.
I just rode it 28 miles on the farm roads, then changed the oil.

My property taxes shot up like a rocket too. It's in the escrow on autopay though so I basically just keep getting poorer without noticing.
