basically my testicals twisted around themselves causing a blood clot and me to lose one of the boys ...now I'm just under observation for a couple days
That sounds awful and aerodynamic at the same time.

Title: Re: GG Secret Santa
Post by: skfarmer on December 11, 2019, 08:13:40 PM
well i am no expert, but.......

i had the same or something similar happen to me when i was a much younger buck,

the testical is a strange creature. in a nutshell (bad pun) the testical kind of hangs out there and the skin around it expands and contracts to maintain a steady temp for the swimmers. since they hang out there rather loosely they can get jostled or jarred out of place by any number of events and if they don't fall back in the right place or position they can get tangled up and blood flow can be reduced or worse. at that point bad things happen. lets just leave it at that. if he wants to start another topic or use pm to discuss it  he is more than welcome,  otherwise let's just leave this as a  ss thread.

This fine assortment came from Oregon.  The box is empty, but not for long.   Well not empty,  just of sockets.  Came with the  driver, sliding T,  and the roll head bar.  The parallel jaw pliers are one item i do not have, these are steel bodied, ones i have seen are stamped so these are definitely on the upper end of the scale.  The angle wrench  is a Bonney,  which has plenty of company here.    The taps and stones have already filled in empty holes.   Mighty good pickins from Santa this year.

It looks like the theme has been Bonney wrenches this year.

Handy assortment from JeffMoss. The screwdriver is just the one I've been looking for to adjust seating dies and leave next to the press. Thanks and Merry Christmas to all.

Lots of Bonney stuff being traded. Looks great. Looks like ole St. Nick has been hoarding a Bonney stash at the North Pole! :))

Deadnuts, I have a pair of Bonney DOE's that were gifted to me that I can't use. Don't know what sizes you're lacking for your set. If interested, PM me and we can exchange info and see if I can get you one step closer to a full set.

 a very nice gift pack from goodfellow. a  thoughtful card, craftsman mach t handle bit set, a nos set of indestro flare nut wrenches and a tin of damn tasty cookies. they are going well with my coffee this morning.  something old, something new and something to eat. covers most of the bases.
