Paid a another visit yesterday to Bobby Williams at Sunrise Ford out in Fontana yesterday. The wife wanted a red car, so she got herself a red car.

Nice looking car. Looks like it was a bit stormy out in Fontana yesterday.

From that angle I can't tell it that is a Fusion or a Focus.

Nice! You guys are getting used to buying cars there, aren't you?

Did you off the Honda?

We stopped just north of the Grapevine for a bite and to take the pic. Its a Fusion Titanium, slightly optioned. Moonroof, Nav and the BLIS pkg. Oh and some cool & easy to clean 19" wheels.

And yes, Steve it's easy to get used to buying a car from Bobby.
Its a matter of an email or two. Then go and pick it up. You know the terms before you leave the house. The F250 last year was 700 below invoice. This one was 200 under. It's kind of like going to Costco. Some new stuff and the bill to pay for it.

The Honda has been officially 'offed'. Never been so eager to dump a Honda as this last one.

I have one word for you, Trey.

Cephalexin.

They've got me on Amoxicillin. Its a bit stronger, and in the penicillin class. Penicillin is the preferred treatment for strep. Cephalexin is first in line for patients with a penicillin allergy.

And other than that, I have 4 words.

Amoxicillin
Ibuprofen
Lidocane
Tylenol

This thing hit me hard. Walked into urgent care, feeling "better" with a 103.4* fever.

Some rest is a good idea too, Trey. That strep is miserable.

I used to get it a lot in my 20's. The kind of string that makes you wonder if you were ever really over it, because it just kept coming back. Now, haven't had it in 30 years, knock, knock, knock. Chloraseptic in the spray bottle eases the throat pain so you can eat and sleep.

No pic, but it is exactly like your avatar. We saw a woman wearing this shirt at the shooting range when Steve and Sean and I went a couple of months ago. I thought it was cool, but at the time I had forgotten about the Starbucks/Gunowner dustup from a few years ago. Googled it all up when I got home and knew I needed a decal. Tons of them available on eBay.

My family brews up a pot of chicken soup to help things along. It seems like rest and fuel for your body (in addition to antibiotics) are the only cure.

Hope you are feeling better.

Thanks Dave. I am not 100% but its bearable. Mostly just fatigue. I return to work tomorrow.

Bill, I got the CVS brand of spray similar to that. Unsurprisingly the flavor was terrible cherry, and I had to spit it out (involuntarily) but it did numb me.

Also, this is post 11,000.
