What are you doing today, II

Well, Fever has been absent for about 8 hours now. Joint pain has also subsided. I am feeling pretty skipper so perhaps I dodged a bullet or it was just a three day flu. One like I've never had before.

Likely just old age. My doctor of thirty-five years has warned me that I will be dying, someday, of absolutely nothing. I said, if I do get sick I always let him know I was sick at my next physical. And he is complaining that except for my annual physicals, in all that time he has never made a dime off of me.

Not for illness, much less injuries.

Today I shoveled snow so I could put out the trash they probably won't pick up for days.
 
Been enjoying work being slower and getting some of my projects done, just got a phone call for a job walk tomorrow, it was a bitter sweet call, likely going to screw up my free time but I also need money for the projects.
 
Sent off a box of things to Dasha in San Francisco. Kids are expensive. The box was neither large, nor heavy, but it cost US$98 to ship an 18" by 15" by 12" box, with $200 of insurance, from Indiana to the west coast via UPS ground. YIKES.

Babysat the internet repair guy this morning, but think we are making some progress with repairs to my existing system. He explained a lot.

This afternoon I'll be heading off to high school fencing practice with one of the neighbors (she actually lives a few miles away) and helps coach at the school, her mom is going to bring her over to the house and then we start the 45 minute drive to the school. We have about a fresh inch of very light powder snow that fell last night on top of the snow we had. Roads locally are clear, no ice.

Chatted with a couple coach friends who are in Kansas City right now for a big national tournament. They are hoping to drive home from KC to Chicagoland today. KC apparently has 12" of snow. The roads apparently suck to the southwest from central Illinois west and south. I think it is stupid. Spend one more night. There are multiple people traveling in 2 cars. They are thinking of traveling together, one following the other.
 
Been a long busy day working and new employee is working out great for me. He came in on time and is a hard worker. Got that Ford Edge torn apart and it needs 2 cam phasers too and did call the customer to let them know it was going to be more. Said do it, 2 new cam phasers coming tomorrow. The 2 semi trucks, the services were done and the customer paid the bill on the spot. Even got one in on the hook as a no started finding the problem, Found it was out of gas. The customer's daughter did not look at the gas gauge which was on E. They came with a 5 gallon gas can full of gas to fill it up
