I have the old skool odometer, strictly analog for me

Perhaps I am talking about boys Ray.

You seem like quite the exception.

Perhaps I should rephrase. Most men tolerate pain well, and I have seen men keep working even after they sustained horrible injury.

That being said, many men, when sick with a common cold, and when their wives/girlfriends are nearby, milk it for all its worth and whine like there is no tomorrow.

I like the desert when I am in Arizona, of course I've been through Flagstaff mucho times. I remember a real quaint looking resort visible from either I-40 or was it Route 66 at the time, North side of highway up on hill. Another place the bride wanted to stop. But I was always traveling from job to job and time was money. Yeah right, now all I have is time and no money. For mountains, Flagstaff does not hold a candle to Tahoe when it comes to shear beauty, yes, I've lived there too. 24/7 party, until I woke up one morning after about a year and said that's it family, we're out of this crazy place and within a week we were and have not been back since. Another place I probably would not recognize today. Built a house there that Hoyt Axton bought and Linda Ronstadt was at the house warming party. I was invited and declined. Dammn, Linda took off all her clothes and got in the 12 people hot tub stark naked.

it's the opposite in my house......when I"m this sick, I just lay around, doing nuthin but sleeping, and trying to drink fluids. The wife is the one who is nagging me to eat this, drink that, take this medicine, etc....lol. We're all sick in my house right now, but I had the worst of it yesterday. I took a 4 hour nap in the middle of the day I NEVER do that.......I probably should've gone to the hospital, my fever topped out at 102.4*

This sounded kind of like a public service message.

I get what you're saying though.

I get a new roof over my porch today. It's windy as heck outside today so that roofer must be in the unreasonable category.

Also no more mice the past few days, traps havent even been licked. The tally stopped at 10 total - 2 adults, a male and female, and 8 babies.

Ray, I sympathize. You've at least slowed down the work these days right?

I know, I will, relax! I'm still in the poorhouse though, and trying to set aside needed funds for various projects that need finished before closing. So by the end of the month I will be a supporter.
