We are enjoying our first hot coffee in nar 24 hours.

( Forgot thermos)

We had the better part of a cold cup left when we were unceremoniously awakened by the receiver at 0130 and told the bols were ready, our services were therfore no longer required, and to get the f out.

Fine.

This concluded a 3 hour rhinoceros nap.

SO

Having 9.25 hours left, and being a level above a zombie, we decided to go and pick up and make our escape from THE COMMUNIST STATE whilst the indigenous population of dopers slumbered.

We escaped up the 215 to the 15 at speed. Stopped for a rhinoceros nap someplace up in desert on 40 just before sunrise.

Cause the sunrise will REALLY zap you.

Woke up and beat feet to Flagstaff. The OM nearly starved to death during this segment.

Now having had a quality burger, fries, and coffee........the question is-
Do we head out for WCP in an hour, or get some more sleep?

Sleep, and keep some treats handy for the OM, low blood sugar symptoms are lethargy, crankiness, and shaking. Hard to recognize in a cat. Lol. My daughters type 1 diabetic, uses insulin. The poor OM probably is going through those symptoms, suffering in silence. Complex carbs are best. Keeps sugar levels more stable. White breads, pastas, potatoes, any high pure carb ( sugar ) should be avoided. I know the OM loves pizza. Just feed him the toppings, not the bread. I doubt he’ll complain. Lol. I’m sure they educated you on all such things. Stability and consistency is the key. The OM needs his sleep too. Zzzzzzzzzz

He looks healthy. I’m guilty of giving too many treats. Chihuahuas are at high risk for diabetes. The smaller, the higher the risk. Mine are 7-8lbs. 1-2 lbs overweight. Some very small ones are only 3-4 lbs. They strive for the smallest pups, causing more problems. It’s almost criminal, right up there with Dog Fighting IMO. So far no diabetes, but heart murmurs. Little ones 7, now taking heart meds. Doing real well, older ones 13, minor heart murmur, normal for age. Dogs have better health screening than I ever had. Lol. Wish I would have done some screenings sooner myself. But they’re worth it. Pure entertainment day after day.

The OM is Dave’s Operations Manager. She stands for the abolishment of elogs and for lukewarm flying j pizza.

Been learning all about the minor common problems WJ Jeeps have. Looks like my new Jeep has every one of them. All simple and cheap fixes, thanks to U tube. Yesterday, started it up, check engine light on, all the gauges all quit working. All I saw was no oil pressure. Turned it off, checked oil, had her start it, listen. Everything’s working again. This ones proving hard to figure out. Fuse, short? So it goes with an 18 yr old vehicle. Still loving it though.

Simple fix...place a small piece of electrical tape over the CEL. Solution solved.

Do any of you guys know if you take Alegra D for allergies if it'll show up as an illegal substance on DOT drug tests? I don't think it would but I wouldn't want to chance it either. My allergies are killing me.

I don't know, but I take "loser-brand" Claritin and I haven't popped hot yet.
