The return of my sense of smell, after a course of steroids and 7/10 of a course of antibiotics

J's boy has found work at a local tires place.

I was able to assist him in the process of providing them a sample of clean urine at body temperature.

Why does a tire place need a urine sample? If somebody is fucking up on the job, fire them. If not, what they do on the weekend is nobody's business.

They probably get a break on insurance, and maybe less liability if something goes wrong? I don't know.

But I do know this. Everybody who lives in colder climates should buy a box of hand warmers. These modern chemical warmers are really thin, and they get very warm and stay warm for hours. So what you do is, you throw a bunch of them in your car. That way they'll be there, when you need them. The box I linked to also has toe warmers, which you can actually stick right to your feet and walk around. I don't ski any more, but if I did, I'd stick these on, and the boots would stay warm and toasty all day. And the toe warmers get to just above body temperature, so they won't burn your feet. I haven't tried walking on them yet, but I will soon, because shoveling season is soon upon us.

They are also useful if you're going in for a vasectomy, like say yesterday and you don't want your junk up in your throat... just saying. I also got to say, "So this must be where the phrase up in smoke comes from." during cauterization. I got a good laugh out of the nurse but the doctor was otherwise occupied.

Take their advice and soak in the tub. It helps.

I am on vacation.

I have been fed, roast beef and home fries. Meat and potatoes, very very hard to beat. I've had a drink. I"m hanging out with SonofV, we'll be watching MST3K shortly.

Life is good.
