doubleclutchinweasel Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Wife has the flu. Twin grandbabies have the flu. Now I have the flu.I guess the virus mutates so fast the vaccines can't keep up.Yuck...I probably didn't help it. We received a $1.3M machine this week (1 year late!), & I was running in & out of the building in the 5º weather all week. Probably lowers the body's ability to fight off "the germ". At least I get to visit with the drivers who deliver the pieces (5 trucks...so far), look at their trucks, & talk trucks.I was a little disillusioned, however, when one driver asked me how I got my non-clutch-brake-equipped truck in gear without a clutch brake! I told him you do it the same way you always did: wait a couple of seconds. Amazed that a professional driver didn't know that. Wow!I did go out this afternoon & start the Dog. First time since the mercury hit the single digits this week. It was, understandably, a little reluctant. But, the fact that a single 12V battery will start that old truck continues to please & impress me. I would have plugged up the block heater, but I didn't have that much life left in me!Later, guys... Quote "Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines."

doubleclutchinweasel Posted January 9, 2014 Author Share Posted January 9, 2014 Thanks, farmer.I'll get into the "rheumatism medicine" in a little while. Doctor says that's a bad idea. I told him it wasn't if you wanted to die! Quote "Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines."

Mike Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Have you been given the Castor Oil treatment each week you would not have gotten the flu. Old remedies are hardly used anymore and people are getting sick more often.mike Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/34174-yuck/#findComment-226244 Share on other sites More sharing options...
