What did you do in your shop today?

Me neither. I would rather get it and build up my tolerance....
 
They gave me one whrn I had my appendix out last month. I don't generally one, don't think they work most of the time. Tony

Supposed to be 10% effective this year... Son's pregnant girlfriend is dealing with the Flu and double pink eye this past holiday weekend. Hell of a learning curve those kids are hitting. And being in Colorado, not easy to offer help. Sucks on several levels...
 
The last time I got the flu was the year I got a flu shot....
 
No flu shot?

Yeah right...

4 people in the house, 3 of us got flu shots!

Wife was sick for 2 weeks after she got hers.
Grand niece has been sick twice, and running around with a snotty nose for 2 weeks.
Mother-in-law got sick over Thanksgiving, has been to the doctor and had shots 3 times, 3 different prescriptions, hasn't recovered yet, still wandering around coughing and hacking.


After 4 days of playing in 40 - 50 degree weather, with rain most of that time, at work, dressed like a Mini-sodan. Trying to commit suicide by chicken wing Friday night, and no they were not mild. Spending almost 7 hours in the deer stand exterminating feral pigs, not dressed nearly warm enough because I thought I had gas in the heater Saturday night. Yes, I haven't felt great the last couple days. But, I'm on the upswing, and I'll be back at work tomorrow, although I have no clue what the day holds in store.

And, I don't do any meds, me and cold and flu meds do not agree.

All natural cold and flu remedy, and vitamins... Take it religiously when I start feeling anything coming on, and it will 9 times out of 10, wipe it out! Not nasty either, tastes kinda like a Sweet Tart, actually pretty tasty!

Also available on Amazon if you can't find it in the store; Walgreens, CVS stock it as well.

Have tried to come down with the crap twice, and so far... don't have it. Sambucol has whipped it.

I never get a flue shot and never will. And I have never had the flu. Colds, yes, the flu, no. Eat healthy and take care of yourself, straighten your body's own immune system is my belief. But that's just my opinion. I do get sick just like everyone else, but I seem to fight it off pretty good most of the time.
Feel better rocky.
 
I don't do the dr thing ether. Wife makes me up pills when I start coming down with a cold. These are what I take in large quantities. Haven't had the flu in years and years. Heck haven't been to a dr in at least eight years. Wouldn't of gone then but didn't know I had kidney stones. Don't think I'll go back if I ever get them again. Just drink lots of liquids and be done with them. lol now yes they hurt like heck but I can handle it. IMG_1943.webp
 
Actually what I did over the last 4 months. The fabricated anvil finally finished and put in place. A little more than 90 kilo. S50C hardened face. From concept to CNC to Installation.

Today trying to resurrect a 1952 Singer 301 mocha short bed. Had a bad motor bearing so new one is on order. Was going to run the band saw but in the first 30 seconds two of the guide bearings disintegrated. Went to the cabinet to grab new ones, and I'm out. So ordered 100 of them on Amazon.

The holidays sucked this year for sales, what kits I've got on hand I've been hoarding for spring for when I'll need to make inventory I hope.
 
Some shots of the anvil tools completed. The two swage tools are milled from 304 stainless and the guillotine tool was purchased from GS Tongs from Taiwan.
