Hey Connecticut, our everything hurts

Getting older…

congrats on the retirement.

 

TY
40 years ago I felt like a kid when I started...oh wait, I was.

 

@Cativelense - how’s the paint on the cap holding up? That’s been a while too.

 

Holding up perfectly!

Great job man. Came out like it was professionally done.

 

I’m 61 years old so ….. if it ain’t Led Zeppelin,Lynyrd Skynyrd or Black Sabbath or some sort of classic rock or heavy metal or southern rock I don’t know

 

Totally not suggesting that Korn is, though a few of the songs on that album had that feel. I know they had Skrillex on one song, I want to say other collabs. The supporting acts for the tour were definitely EDM.

I was in the balcony at House of Blues for that show and it was pretty funny seeing the ravers with the backpacks, Kandi, etc next to metalheads just chilling together.

Never been but I know people who attend/throw raves. Sounds pretty cool but IDK if I would fit in.

 

Good morning CT. Got home from work yesterday and didn't feel like doing anything so I had dinner and just relaxed.
I got the switch for the hood lights, just waiting on one for the compressor. I think today I'll work on getting the compressor wired up, I know the GMRS radio works, I powered it up Sunday. Still need to mount the aux fuse box.

I want to install the switch under the hood next to the compressor but I wasn't sure how to mount the switch. After watching a couple videos on YouTube, I found out that ARB sells switch brackets. Bought one on Amazon, should be here tomorrow. That will make wiring 100% easier. I'll use the ARB switch and possibly sell (give away) the CH4X4 one.

 

Interesting. They are like a placebo for me. I know many people for which they work great, but they are easily the least effective allergy pills I have tried. I guess we all have different chemistry.

 

Morning everyone.

Happy Tuesday.

Have to go to Torrington after work, for a make up soccer game for the kiddo.

 

Good morning

 

What are you using that you find effective?

 

I've been on zyrtec daily year round for like10 years. Works great for me. Had seasonal allergies as a kid in spring, then as I got older, developed seasonal allergies in the fall too as well as a cat allergy. Then one day in Feb one year I went to the dr. thinking I was getting sick and he told me nope, just allergies. I said WTH, it's winter, what is it, dust allergy? That's when I started on zyrtec. Works great, no side effects after a few days and feel much better. Just doesn't do anything for sinus pressure.

 

Hah KeithB answered for me!

But yes zyrtec gets me by, as has allegra. I think allegra was better before, think there was some kind of split where it became OTC but then introduced a -D version? I am not sure. Truly, seldane was my winner but then it was seemingly replaced by allegra.

Another factor, and I am not a doctor but I do have anecdotal evidence, is that your body gets "used to" medications and they can become less effective. So it might not hurt to rotate every once in a while. Heck, maybe I should get claritin a shot again!

 

Zyrtec for me along with a nasal spray (prescription Flonase). Seldane worked the best but was taken off the market for causing heart issues. Tried Allegra (non D version) but that messes with the prostate. Some people find Zyrtec very sedative. I take mine at night.

 

For those with bad allergies (bad to the point of debilitating), I highly recommend allergy shots. Changed my life.

 

And local honey

 

I don't get beat up too bad with allergies, but I have a stash of Rx Flonase to use when needed.

 

Who would ever need this list when you have Tacoma World
Appreciate the info guys!

 

X2!

better than meds any day

 

Typically I get about 16.8 mpg commuting and driving kids around etc.... I've gotten as much as 20.1mpg on long trips. Last weekend I drove to long island in the rain on Sat and back. 305 miles total. Was a bit slow going due to traffic and rain so not so much at 70-75mph but more like 50-55 mph. Milage when I filled up was calculated to be 20.72mpg. Never saw that before and I check it every time (anal I know). Knew it was going to be good when I was over 300miles and still had just under 1/4 tank left but did not expect that. Speed really is a huge factor I guess.
