Shit! That looks like the bruise that Johhny Knocksville had on his belly after being shot with one of those 12 gauge "bean bag" type rounds - seriously OUCH!!
Speaking of blood tests, I had blood taken for a cholesterol test a few months ago. Normally nurses don't have any problems drawing blood from me but this last one hurt like a bithc and left a bruise from hell!

Impressed the hell out of me - apparently, I am BELOW average for cholesterol except for the good bit (can't remember the techo name for it) and that is slightly higher than average, which is ok

Cool, I didn't do so well with the chol tests and blood pressure tests...
Too much truckstops food thru the years I guess.

Prednisone is a corticosteroid and it's used as a sort of wonder drug, if they don't know what is wrong with you, you get prednisone
Yep. My wife Teri has Lupus, MS, and Arthritus. She has been on Prednisone for 20 YEARS. Sucks. It makes you VERY moody.

Reading things like that sure makes me stop complaining about bruises that will go away with time.
Youre right that sucks.

Nice shade...got a matching tie for that? Good thing you didn't drop the gear-box on your foot...:clobbered:

Not good with ties, But now that you mention it, a couples of weeks ago I did drop the frame on one foot.... kinda same shade of blue on the left big toe nail.
I may be clumsy but getting to be a good OUCH dancer + now, when someone hear me scream after dropping something... they duck to steer away from flying tools.
I was serious when I wrote that I was thinking of putting a Mr Michelin suit before I start working in the garage.

just some info!
the pilot bearing in the rear of the crank is very easily removed with a brass or aluminum rod about 6" long thats the same dia. as the tip of the trans input shaft, you simply pack the bearing full of axle grease till its 100% full and flush with its outer edge , line up the rod and smack it with a 5 lb hammer the grease hydraulic pressure behind the bearing pops it out onto the rod, now if you don,t get it out on the first hit its usually because there was air pockets in the grease so youll need to repack it with more grease and try a second time
"IF" it needs to be replaced by packing the area behind and inside it with grease and hydraulically lifting it out by use of a wood, brass or aluminum dowel driven into its center area with a mallet, the displaced grease forces the bearing up and out
[grumpy?]how do get the grease behind the bearing? [/quote]
thru the center hole the tip of the splined trans shaft rides in
