colonoscopy and i got to watch

I had a colonoscopy last Friday with no sedation. I asked if I could watch and
the doc said sure. the turned the big monitor and he explained the bottom
left corner will show what part of the colon the camera is at. so in goes the snake, spraying a fine mist of water and injecting some carbon dioxide
to go around the first sharp corner, then all the way up and around and back
down to what he called home. this is all done quite quickly. now as he starts
looking as he,s pulling the scope back. he found 1 polyp and he injected something in it and then he said he was a cowboy. the nurse hands him
a thin plastic tube that is shoved in the scope tube and while he,s pushing
that in , a nurse slaps a ice cold specimen bag on my bare hip. I just about hit the ceiling. the doc laughed and the nurse ,I,m sorry! that thin
plastic tube has a multi strand wire in it . he put the loop over the polyp and
tightens the loop and said now I,m burning it of and it disappears back in the scope tube and into the specimen bag. everything else looked fine.
just before the scope was all the way out , he said now I,m turning the camera all the way around and were looking at your rectum. he said looking good , no internal hemorrhoids. I asked the nurse about these scopy,s and
the colon ones are different than the gastro ones and yes they are kept
separate. I,ve had quite a few gastro scopes done in the past without
sedation but never got to watch. the secret is to close your mouth and breathe
through your nose. next time I,ll tell u about a wart I had on the end of my
tongue.

2013 Renegade 800 Xxc Steering Issue

Wanted to see if anyone else ran into this same issue….yesterday I was 6 miles into a planned 100 mile ride on my 800 Xxc and I lost all steering and shot off the trail. At first I thought it was an issue with my power steering module but when I looked a bit, I found that I broke the shaft on the pitman right after the spline under the power steering. I could not believe that the shaft snapped like it did. I am not sure if it was my years of pounding on the machine or if this is an issue on this year/model. I am going to check my warranty status this week but any tip or suggestion if I need to replace myself.

Thanks…Scott

Intro

Hey everyone, I am Bart and have been riding can-am/bombardier for a number of years now. I have a 2004 outlander max, 2002 quest 650, and a 2004 rally. Yes all old but running strong. Was once a little active in a old forum long gone at "ATV frontier" for those that remember. I am retired from south western Illinois. Now that I have more time it’s possible to be more active in these forums. Most…. but not all the riding I do is at st. Joe state park and Sutton bluff campground in Mark train national forest in Missouri. Once in a while at turkey bay at land between the lakes in Kentucky…. And a few others. :th_smiliewavey:

Electrical Issues on 09 Sportsman 400

Ok…so the last 5 minutes of my ride I got stuck and reversed out which caused a shake thru the quad body….I drove 100 meters back to my garage…when turning in it tried to die then made it 1 foot more and that’s it…lights out dead….I do have power at solenoid under front storage..took a tester to ignition switch and found Confirmed power constant to red wire..and switch on powers up red/black…white grounds out when switch on…no other readings from all wires when moved to crank position
Also I Removed two plugs going into kill switch handle…gently scraped contacts with a small screwdriver
Still no power to display and no crank….battery is fully charged….anyone’s thoughts?
