Finals next week up here. I'm handily making it through organic chemistry this year so I don't have many worries. It'll be nice to be able to crack into my truck finally.

She's been sidelined needing a steering box for a couple weeks. I miss the big girl...

Best ensure an ample supply of your favorite warm livation for before and during the event, and your favorite, slightly stronger one for when you get home.

Looking good!

I came into my room yesterday afternoon/evening, and smelled wet mop. so I took it outside, and opened up my bedroom window to air it out. Big mistake. It was not long after that, I started feeling it in my chest. Then the coughing started. Since I get my small check on the 1st, I was able to go to Winco and get cough medicine, Vicks (generic Winco version) and generic cough drops. Have not used the cough medicine yet (as I didn't want to get drowsy while still out and about) however, I have used the cough drops and chest rub.

Coughing worse now, and my body aches all over. Just have to ride out the storm.

Jim

How well do you handle spicy food Jim? I get what you have a couple times a year. I have gotten pretty good at combatting it. If we are on the same wavelength, make you the spiciest chicken soup you can handle and maintain a steady diet of the stuff. You will feel better during and a little after you eat something. Only way to get through it is to enjoy warm food and lots of it. Drink lots of water as you're probably gonna sweat like a rented mule in the Mohave at night. I know I did. Best to you.

Spent 14 hours in bed tossing and turning. Now my back hurts along with my head and throat. Been doing myself with Vicks every half hour. Will have to try that spicy chicken soup remedy. Not coughing as much now as I did yesterday, but it still hurts the throat and head when I do.

Yeah, but when you look at the first "U" and compare it to the second "U" it really stands out!

Jim, sorry you're sick. It sucks being sick, but even moreso when you have to take care of yourself.

I am going to have to practice what I preach. Woke up with a sore throat today. No time to lay down and be sick though, got out and spent the day puilling the engine out of the truck. I will be putting it on the stand tomorrow and tearing it all down. Nice and loopy from the Gunk fumes so the sore throat isn't bugging me much.
