    Just had two big BBQ ham sandwiches.

    I’m not ashamed.

    Deli Fresh Ham 10-12 slices depending on cut.
    3 Tbsp BBQ sauce
    2 Tbsp. chopped onion
    hamburger bun

    I prefer white bread, but ole lady is picky and wants hamburger buns..

    Quick and Easy.

    Also from the pre 2004 HOS, where a driver could stop where and when he wanted, as opposed to where the clock dictated - provided he made OTD.

    Have you searched for a nurse practitioner or chiropractor type that has a lower client throughput for a lower probability of exposure?

    Found a local older that works out of her home, she told me of adventures driving her Hudson around the country including down Grapevine..... Still has the car.

    It's like the walking dead. We all have it. Only some will get sick though. Probably once you get the vaccine, that's it, you're toast.

    I think what’s happening may be normal action of a closed system. The newer Trucks run a higher pressure than old, In order to raise the boiling point. Since they run hotter than old engines. What’s happening is once the thermostats open, it goes down, then as it heats up, it expands and goes up. The main thing is that it’s within the cold and hot levels. Cap needs to be on to keep system closed and working properly. Same as new cars. Only time it will overflow, is if it gets low, boils and you open the cap. Aside from making sure you have a good cap, that’s not leaking, and is the correct psi rating. And temps are working normal, waterpump and thermostats should be OK. As long as it’s not blowing coolant out, head gasket and compressor are good. Unless coolant is disappearing and you’re adding coolant, there’s no problem. After running it, then idling, the thermostats close, making it expand again, once they open, the level goes down again. Makes sense if your in a cold climate. Hot climate, thermostats stay open, while idling. It should stay about the same level. Just a theory.

    Well, my daughters been quarantined because of a positive covid test. Thank God it didn’t get serious. Only minor headache and fever. Had it gotten into her respiratory, having a compromised immune system, due to Type 1 Diabetes, it could have been bad. I’m so happy she’s OK. The anti bodies stay in your system about 3 months, and you can still test positive for as long. Anyways She’s back to work tomorrow, and will still get the vaccine. I’ve been very worried about her, working in a Nursing Home, and also part time at a Hospital. She’s seen a lot of people die lonely deaths, this year. Thank God She’s OK. Happy New Year Everyone.
