Yeah exactly! Esp after the incident yesterday! We did an 80 mile ride and on the last 12 miles we stopped at the SAG stop to water up and rest for the trek home. Well my buddy threw me a half of nature bar and I ate it and we headed back. Well after i got home and showered, I noticed my neck, face and hands starting to swell!!! I immediately knew I was having a reaction to something so I hit my leg with my eppy pen. The swelling started to go down and popped a few benedryl then I thought back of what might have happened. I found the wrapper in the truck and see it was a peanute butter and chocolate chip bar! Luckily the manufactures are cheap skates and dont put many chocolate chips or I would have been a lot worse off. Needless to say, I will check things more before eating, as It could have killed me.

I try to keep the epi stuff around due to my reactions to antibiotics, every time I get an IV or shots, I ask for the stuff for reactions, I've came close before, sad part was one happened to be ignored IN the hospital. No food allergies so far, thank god.
This rain has me held up in the house, I need to go to the grocery store, but hate going out in the rain, my lift likes to act up and stick me out in it.

Greywolf, it's old, constantly cuts out, either every contact switch on it needs replaced and/or the control board, it's old, and very used. I've gotten a lot of use out of it for 10 years, was never right from the beginning, as it was used then, and when I took it in to be moved to another van, they never attempted to repair it as I requested. I need another one, but the money isn't there, and getting it repaired is the same story, it's $80 an hour, every electronic component requires testing to trace it down, and even then they'll tell you, it's old, will cost a fortune that I don't have.
I thought I had it, the wires were pulling off, so I re soldered all connections, no effect, found poor wiring, before I replaced it, the issue started to show that it's not from there, it's elsewhere. I need someone to swap out my ground lead, so I can eliminate that one from the list, it's questionable, yet not everything can be credited to it.
Rain sometimes contributes to it, due to corrosion, but mostly, who wants to be sitting by their vehicle in the rain jiggling wires until they can get it, something that's normal every other day, but you don't get wet then.
