"...better than ibuprofen"

Last week the rear wheel assembly broke off my wife's car, luckily when she pulled into a parking lot, instead of going 70mph on I-95.

It's a recall issue...https://hondanews.com/en-US/honda- corporate/releases/2007-2011-honda-cr-v-rear-frame-corrosion-recall

...that Honda never informed us of.

So...the car being otherwise gorgeous, is totaled. And I'm resolved to fix it.

Welding and fabricating underneath a car...day in, day out...at 67 with a damaged rotator cuff...I need an anti-inflammatory.

Dr. Horse, I confess I take one dose of Ibuprofen about every other day...can't sleep without it...and it works great.

But I will look into the black cumin seed oil to be sure. Thanks.

I do all my under car welding with fluxcore wire, back in the early '90s was only with stick and I can not scratch my left shoulder with my right hand so I too will score some of that.

welding with fluxcore

For ten years my son spoiled me with argon shielding gas.

Last year he got out of welding and returned the gas bottles.

My only option now is fluxcore, which is a might tricky, but I'm beginning to figure it out.

As long as I can weld to rust, I'm good :)

I can not scratch my left shoulder with my right hand

What's really helped me the most is a trigger point ball...

My wire welder can be used with plain wire and argon/co2 mix or fluxcore came set up for fluxcore to change to plain wire and inert gas requires changing the polarity for best results.
