Dad (96) is fond of saying, "The things that drove me to the doctor at 60 are now; Lets wait and see a few weeks. Most of it goes away. ".

Sometimes a malady you worry about in your middle years is more acceptable in your golden years.  I remember a specialist telling me I had considerable osteoarthritis in an area that was causing me discomfort.  I knew osteoarthritis is common and asked if what I was experiencing was normal for my age.  He grinned and said, "Maybe if you were in your seventies!" Lucky for me, I'm now normal!

Oh, and many of us in our thirties talking to our Doctor about hair loss...  If you have a full head of hair in your seventies, you're wearing a rug 🙂

The jaw issue is healing. It must have been a perfect storm with the peanut and pressure. I can handle the getting old thing, what choice is there? The jaw thing rattled me, it takes some doing. There was pain and a little swelling. Jeez really? I will proceed with caution in the future.

Good it's getting better.  I'd have a conversation with my dentist if this happened to me.  I currently have a dentist that examines and reports all things related to oral health.  For example, he recently told me I have a small mouth.  Others who know me have been known to report the opposite!

I did basically nothing to my teeth for 40 years but one being pulled. At 40 after my father had all his pulled and him saying take care of your teeth. I got all mine up to date. My dentist said that I had great teeth and should be ashamed of myself. It was a small fortune. He said see you in six months for cleaning. Yup, didn’t happen. 20 years later I got an abscess OUCH! I spent another small fortune. This time I go every six months like clockwork. I will see him next month and will mention it.

I have spent thousands of $ to keep my teeth. 4 month cleanings for years, bad genes for teeth.

I injured my left shoulder rotating tires, didn't feel it until later in the day. It wasn't pain immediately.

There’s so many places that do that for free around me I can’t remember when the last time I did that. Another thing that can really mess an old guy up. I don’t do my own oil changes but do all my other services standing up. I have an oil sucker. About 3 years ago at 67 I replaced a caliper on my Avalanche. Ain’t doing that no more. I do my own yard work. I’m the only one in my family that doesn’t have a yard guy. I’m the only one who retired early. I’m learning to be careful about what I take on. If I don’t enjoy it or it can cause pain I avoid it.

I do oil changes on 2 vehicles and a SXS.

Friday I received a call from the hospital with a date in May for my pre-op appointment for my right knee replacement.  I haven't completed my physio yet for my left knee!  I guess there is some advantage in getting it all over with but this means I could potentially have gone through three total joint replacements in one year!  I'm turning into a resto mod!

I wish! I wonder what The Six Million Dollar Man would cost in today's dollars?

make sure the usb port for upgrading the software is on the inside of the knee, so less dirt gets into it.

You'd think with the cost of these new parts any updates would be wireless OTA.

    • Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.
    • Paid $2.72 for E85 today.
    • Welcome back! No, it definitely doesn't pass the sniff test. Even "ceasefire" needs an alternative definition these days.    $5.29 at Kroger today
    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
