Likely worth a couple hundred bucks a sheet retail, but I bet you'd be lucky to get 50 bucks for them on kijiji...

I'm tempted to sell it and just buy them but I have no idea how to sell something like this since shops and stuff would just buy it from a supplier.

any metal shop would take it, prepared to get lowball

I hope you got certs on hand

.062 304 2b stainless from suppliers are ~$2.3/LB

your thinner stuff may get you more money however

I'm going by what was stamped on the sheets, the 4'x6' are 22 ga 304 (followed by a coil # and heat #?) and the 3'x10' are 0.062 AK Steel 7520256 301 FH AMS 5519 N.

I could only find pricing on this site https://www.onlinemetals.com/en/buy/...-301-full-hard, so I have no clue if they're insanely overpriced or something, but they have the 3x10 sheet of 301 for $581 US each and 4x6 of 301 would be about $150 US each. That'd be about $2300 CAD total. The skid plates I want would be about $600 delivered so if I got anything above that I'd be happy.

If that's totally out to lunch does anyone have a good resource for comparing types of metal? The skids plates are listed as 4mm magnesium-alloy, I take it being called "full hard" the 1.5mm 301 steel is pretty strong? I could double or triple it up but I have no clue how to ensure what I'm using is actually strong and I'm not underdoing it and effectively just putting tinfoil on the car.

if a shop is already using material like that then they'll prob buy it if it's a bit cheaper than the supplier. thing is that is pretty specific stuff, so no shop is gonna buy it unless they need exactly that, since they don't just want to have random shit taking up space in their shop. call around to a few sheet metal shops, doesn't hurt.

Oh for fuck sakes. Stupid ass protestors impacting my drive in

Where's Native Russ when you need him?

We get it, that you want to prance around and beat your drums, but man, your own kind don't agree with you. Not sure what the ratio is, but the other tribes want their share of money the pipeline brings in. Can you protest without inconveniencing the public? All you are doing is losing the very little support you had. I'm sure you have really good reason to protest, but all people are seeing is the chaos you guys are creating. Be more creative in your protests. Inform the public instead of turning them against you. The days of beating your drums and chanting nonsense needs to end. /rant.


...................that's my little protest for the day. Gotta love this country.

I punctured this gasket around my hatch. It’s not leaking or anything but I’m wondering what’s the best fix for this. Just some electrical tape or maybe something more substantial like jb weld ?

[Jmac]

Electrical tape will be useless IMO

[Badhobz]

Sooo jb weld maybe ?

[underscore]

Smear some RTV on there.

[Badhobz]

Any particular brand of RTV you recommend ?

[underscore]

I'd check a few tubes and see what's the best fit. You don't need to worry about high temps or oil so I would think most of them will work, I'm guessing you'd want black and not orange or blue so it's more subtle. It takes a while to cure so park it somewhere dry and disconnect the battery so the door light doesn't kill it.

WTF is going on in Richmond at this hour ... sounds like a fireworks show!

[Razor Ramon HG]

Is anyone familiar with the process for checking for pancreatic cancer? I have reason to believe that my dad might have it based on recent symptoms he has been having with his health.

Does he go to his regular doctor, tell them he wants to get checked, and they try to get him booked at a specialist?

I'm wondering what the timeline is like because I also found a local company called Prenuvo that seems to be able to screen for many kinds of issues with the pancreas (and other organs) at reasonable prices with same week bookings (based on their online appointment system).

And a bit more of a general question, but if someone is confirmed to have cancer, are they generally fast-tracked for medical appointments and such?

Thanks.

[SpeedStars]

Went through it with my Grandma and at first we went to our family doctor then told him the symptoms. They referred us to a coastal health clinic to get blood work done to confirm whether or not it was cancer. Process took about 3 weeks iirc. When it was confirmed we had to go to a specialist at St Paul's to receive care. Unfortunately it was late stage so not much other than palliative care could be done. Wish you the best of luck.

Does he have any pain? Is he diabetic? Smokes?

Lost quite a bit of weight lately?

Main thing to do is go see family doctor and arrange for blood work and ct scans.
It’s hard to even see it there because pancreas is at the back.


This disease sucks. My dad passed away from this. Came very quickly. Just go straight up to the family doctor and ask for referrals.

FYI from my experience, plan for the worst and spend lots of time with your dad. I mean it. Lots of time. I miss my dad every day. Fuck cancer.

[B!tch]

First, does your father have a GP or does he deal with walk in? I have heard and seen stories at walk in. Some GP's dont want old or cancer patients.

https://www.cpsbc.ca/for-public

I would start at GP to get bloodwork and preliminary diagnosis and then switch to False Creek for fast track scans if you are experiencing a long wait.

I had full executive package at False Creek. I had every organ ultrasound scanned and so many tests I cant remember. (Benefit provided by my employer at the time)

You can pay and see a doctor at False Creek instead of going to GP but I am am hoping, I dont pray, that you are wrong and your GP will give your dad a clean bill of health.

I paid for prenuvo scan December 2018. Human body is always changing so clean scan doesn't mean that is permanent.

I would go False Creek before another Prenuvo

In my opinion, speed depends on your GP and health region. My dad waited a week for an MRI and a friend waited 2.5 years.
