    It’s probably best to not ignore odd allergic reactions. Hope it clears quick!

    Dang glad you are OK and good to see you didn't ignore the signs of a reaction. Better safe than sorry. Probably a good idea to get an allergy test done so you know for the future if it's a good idea to carry an Epipen.

    I'll donate a jar of cherries.


    Seriously though, insects stings can dangerous for some. I've had multiple stings in my hands and ankles. The swelling was no fun.

    Thanks, guys!

    I'm ordinarily the last person to seek medical attention, but I've heard how severe allergic reactions can get. I really had to talk myself into going, but I'm glad I did.

    I'm home now, getting dinner going.

    Dan, bring the cherries to Bayfield! :D

    It was either a poorly cooked, good steak, or a well cooked, crummy steak. :oops:

    Yeah, rocks will do that. If you don't want scratches, stay off of rocks. It's the cost of doing business.
    Actually I'd take the rocks. With all of the armor, I can slide down and over rocks. I am well past the point of giving a f'k about what my armor looks like. It gets painted in the fall but it's designed to protect the truck. It cost a few bucks and I am getting my money's worth. The sliders did prevent a big dent in the drivers door when I swung backwards into a tree.
    Yes, rocks did that. (Or are you being sarcastic?)
    This^
    I used to cringe when I hit a rock with the belly armor. Do it enough times and realize what the armor is capable of, you tend to expand your horizons. A full-weight-of-the-truck hit doesn't bother me....too much.

    Rich was the only one to figure that out and he caught it right away!

    I sure did enjoy my new armour!

    Kidding aside hope it didn't get too bad.

    I'm starting to develop weird allergies too. My WebMD late night researches are pointing at some sort of ragweed or pollen allergy. I can't eat fresh avocados without my mouth getting itchy. But if you cook it the proteins change and your body doesn't overreact anymore.

    Point is, you gotta torch the suckers next time before they sting you.


    Unless they are honey bees, those are important.
