    Wow, us too. About 3 weeks ago or so, both kids and my wife had strep. Looks like it might be the same thing again, and the antibiotics the urgent care place set us up with were not good enough. Our pediatrician asked why they had been prescribed azithromycin instead of keflex or something more usual. We were in the hospital 3 days ago because they were worried my youngest had pertussis (whooping cough) given it is an "epidemic" here in Colorado. Thankfully that turned out not to be the case.

    So sick of everybody being "sick". My throat feels a bit odd today too - hopefully it's just from exhaustion and not a sign that I'm starting to get it.

    That's what started it for me a few weeks back...

    I just got some antibiotics from India. Wonder if I should be brave and start my own z-pak tonight. If you don't hear from me again, you'll know I died from using import drugs. LOL.

    Geez! Sorry to hear that. Pertussis is no joke glad it wasn't that. My oldest had a really bad back to back croup/stridor incident. Both times ambulanced to st Joes for observation. My ex works at a children's hospital, everyone is saying this is a really bad year. My oldest has strep and is on 2nd round of antibiotics and an inhaler now. I've been constantly cleaning all surfaces and washing my hands. Luckily the twins didn't catch it. Hope y'all feel well soon!

    Yeah that's it. If I weren't so stoic I'd laugh. I have an "outdoor" face so people don't talk to me.

    I did call Duluth trading to get info on returning my pants for a replacement. Tree climbing beat the crap out of them. Thinking about getting some arborwear pants this time....although I like the lifetime guarantee from Duluth. But its like $70 a pop now......don't get me started on RDS. I think buy once cry once, and go with the aimpoint pro. Anyone seen them for sale locally?

    Neither do I, but I'm about to go full bore stupid. Putting together a xl650 package for me and for a friend/customer as well. Might take this opportunity to upgrade my tumbler to a wet tumbler as well. I need another project like I need a hole in the head. Not to mention I have no line and no stockpile on bullets or powder. I have a ton of rifle primers, but of course am planning on loading handgun as well. Just couldn't pass up the opportunity. Hope my 650 doesn't sit in boxes for a couple months...
