What did you do to your Hellcat today?

[DavidKFla]

Awesome!!!

Cool

Too late to trade now, DGatzby, since I'm finally about done with this China crap.

Best I can tell, I caught it at the dentist. Not sure where else I could've managed.

I'm not surprised that I didn't need to take a leak for nearly a week. Had plenty of fever to make it all come out through the skin instead. Similar to when (like a complete idiot) I went to New Orleans in late August years ago.

Not that I remember the number of gallons of water I drank in about three days, but it was quite a few. No need to take a leak then either, as it all disappeared as sweat.

Oh, that makes sense about the dentist. I may have caught my one and only from a medical place also. Either there or the next day at work where one I was working with came down that next week the day b4 me.

Darn Jimmy, drink more you need to keep the kidneys moving stuff out of your blood buddy! Sounds like you had a strange one, glad your doing better.

It hasn't been common for people to tell me to drink more. Usually it's been the opposite.

But as far as non-alcoholic stuff goes, I've never had much to drink. For example, for a period in my late teens, all I had was a cup of coffee in the morning and a beer in the evening.

That was preceded by having a thermos of coffee right before going to bed, and later maybe 20 cups of coffee during the day. Never did drink sodas, and don't think I ever had a bottle of water until moving here. Well, except for that episode in New Orleans. Had no choice then.

Do you need me to bring you another bottle of Crown @Jimmy N.?

Jimmy, those are not good stories. You do not want those kidneys to go bad my friend. @EricG we may need to go pay him a visit.

Please do. I'm almost at the point where I have to wring it out to get the last out of it.

Try drinking some water. You might be surprised.

Water on a Friday?
Blasphemy!

I can only imagine how Saturday feels...

 

[DavidKFla]

1 bourbon, 1 water and 1 beer.

 

[Jimmy N.]

I am. Basically doubled (at least) my normal intake of one bottle per day. And it's easier now that it no longer tastes like saltwater.

Might go back to consuming "Champagne" again. It did my body good before getting sick, so...

Not even close to being enough especially since you've been sick. Flush the damn shit out of your body.

Easy for you to say. I'm not equipped to function in such a humid environment (inside and out) as you are.

You're in an even more harsh environment.

How do you figure?

I wouldn't survive FL without A/C, but some logs in the fireplace is all it takes here, for a few months of the year.

Making a plan on when to give the last wash then cover. Looked at the long range forecast and it says warmer than ave temps so I’ll be putting off storage for at least another couple weeks. I don’t care how cold it is, I want to drive!

Jimmy! We are just attempting to help our car buddy out, don’t get us wrong. We are just a bunch of more senior guys who care.

How do I know if I'm drinking enough?
Your fluid intake is probably adequate if:

• You rarely feel thirsty
• Your urine is colorless or light yellow

Thanks, DGatzby, I know that you're trying to help, and appreciate it.
After all, it's not like you're suggesting that everything would be better if trading in the Challengers on taxis.

I'll read the link later, but for now, believe it or not, my pee passes the color test, and it's quite rare that I feel thirsty.

Drove it to get e85. Smelled something burning, like plastic…

dont care to replace it so it is in the recycle

Don’t feel bad most of mine is held on with zip ties

No, not twice. Trice.

But this one was by far the worst. I'm still running on about half a cylinder after nearly two weeks. Hell, yesterday was the first time I took a leak since it started. Guess the fever takes care of dispersing of any liquids.

Had half a meal yesterday, the other half of it today. Not because I was hungry, but figured I should eat something regardless of how unappealing it is.

Anyway, already being behind, losing two weeks hasn't exactly helped. By Wednesday I'll start doing things, no matter what. If it doesn't kill me, it should make me stronger.

lot of people sick with it right now get well soon @Jimmy N.
