Still have one of those floating around the garage here. Has to be 30 years old, probably more. It may even have real MAPP in the bottle. Bet it blazed more marshmallow fires then sweating copper. It is very quick in a plumbing situation, Haven't had to weld a car door shut with one yet , but you gotta know I'm programed for that now.

You guys putting another covid attack behind yuh over there?

Wife getting better yet?

Hope all is well.

Been strangely different over here. Haven't felt sick/been sick since leaving the hospital. Year and half ago I believe. It took 8 months to get the BP back up to normal though. Yeah , about gave up on that but it finally healed. Chance #2 in motion.

Yeah, I think the Covid is in the mirror. Other than my back/kidney issue, I feel pretty good. The doc said my test showed my body is fighting an infection, so they sent it to the lab for further testing.

I appreciate you checking in, Brew!

I'm very glad you got your health back, that was scary for a bit.

To bad there's nothing medicinal in Dr Pepper ehh..The body is always in some state of dehydration, that's what it does to you, very hard on internals. Cutting back on that stuff and adding in water can level you out quite a bit. You won't feel great, but you won't feel exceptionally bad either. Not until they legalize LSD anyway lol.

I was doing really well for a while subbing Arnold Palmers (made with Stevia to replace some of the sugar) for soda, but have fallen off the wagon and am back to having one can almost every day.
Dammit!

I asked the doc what it is that makes it so bad for you, and specifically asked if it was the carbonation. She told me it's the caffeine, because it acts as a diuretic.

Soooo.... when I was at Macey's last night, I saw some caffeine free Dr. Pepper, lol. I naturally got some.

However, I have water in my cup right now.

If you hadn't noticed yet, Paul's new video is up!

I may be upgrading my 450 Grizzly to a 700 today. Posted last evening...








Both are 2008's, and I can swap over my new(er) wheels/tires, lighting, etc. From mine to the 700. Hoping to talk him down a little and get close to $4K for mine. Not sure about that, but I do know the 700 won't last long on the market around here.
