It’s a flu with a name.

Mike, I saw something on TV earlier that gave 3 things to do to "test" yourself every morning. Since the virus affects the respiratory system, first thing in the morning, take a deep breath and hold it for 10 secs to see if there's any pain or discomfort. Second, drink plenty of water to keep your mouth from getting dry. Apparently, if there's any germs in your mouth, it washes down into your stomach where stomach acid kills it and I forgot the third one. but I don't think memory loss is a symptom.

I don't know, maybe. Mick, better get to Harbor freight, with all their products coming from China, they may be out of stock on everything shortly.

could you not find an equal in stock locally? Just have the guy blend it for you.

His ability to pay is a Kawasaki ninja. It's only a 250 but it will cover the cost of the oil change.

Well back from Grosse Point. Nice area by the lake. Reminds me of our east side by the lake. HOWEVER - the area south is pretty dicey. My GPS gave me a guided tour of probably the shittiest neighborhoods I've ever been in. It looked like a bomb went off and took out 2/3rds of the houses.



Just when I thought it couldn't get worse I came across an apparent drug raid. There were at least 20 DEA agents in full camo and face masks with all kinds of artillery milling around the front of a shack. So I guess I was safe. But I seriously figured I would hear gunshots.

I have to start drinking water? Trying to remember the last time I drank water...
