If I can believe AI, which I don't like to do, this is a piece of cake. Might have a driving and lifting restriction for a short period afterward. I'll manipulate the scheduling as best I can.

Pulse generator... kinda sounds like Iron Man's arc reactor?!

I wonder if like an AED it would cause problems for someone (or sensitive electronics) touching you when it activated?

Scary stuff. Best wishes.

Guy I work with had something like that done and was back to work 3 days later.

The wearable one that I have now is more like an AED because it's external. The one they will implant will be much less powerful, probably operating at the millivolt level because it will be directly connected to the nerves right at the heart. The "circuit resistance" will be much less because it doesn't have to go through skin, muscle, bone, etc. on the front and back of my body to get to my heart.

I have been simultaneously threatening to re-assemble the transmission and postponing it. This afternoon, I finally degreased the shell and got my operating room set up and organized for the task. My first time rebuilding an auto and I'm a bit apprehensive about it. Let's hope I get into it tomorrow.

Most of the operating theater. Work bench with clean space to work is behind the camera. All the old parts are on huge baking sheets, laid out in the order of assembly/disassembly. Stuff getting re-used will be cleaned as I go.

all the new parts except one that I just realized was missed - the pressure control solenoid. It's on order now and will not significantly interrupt this process.

"clean enough" empty shell positioned vertically to make it easy to drop parts and sub-assemblies inside.

I've had 3 of those over the years and really don't like them. But that top part with the clamping screw assembly can be handy. In this case, The tailshaft of the transmission is going to be sticking out. So I needed to hold the shell up high enough to allow for that. Opened up that workmate table and set it on top of one of the Explorer wheels - nice stable work platform with a hole for the shaft to stick through.

Makes sense, I have a couple of them, they have their place, I figured that out with the gap, with the red I thought it was a metal bucket but I see it's a wheel now...
