Blend door replacement an' fried eggs

I'm gonna take me a few minutes here before I fry me up 3 or 4 over easys.  I ain't eat no fried eggs in I don't know when. Hope the damn things ain't rotten again. Did ya ever eat a rotten fried egg? Ya really don't know it's rotten until bout 4th or 5th bite.

Robert come back from Walmart with a great big ol' bag full of medications. Had I not had meds insurance, he would have charged $865 to my credit/debit card. This is how pharmaceuticals get rich....gouge the old folks what ain't got no insurance. My cost was $125.

I got me some two different antibiotics, 5 boxes of nebulizer (SP) stuff, but I ain't got no nebulizer (SP).....an' I ain't gonna look it up how to spell nebulizer. I got a 3rd inhaler thingy....don't ask me why or what it for....Proair HFA. I got the new Spiriva what has a med in it for something....it's a mist spray inhaler....Spiriva Respimat. And Symbicort, another mist inhaler. Now how in hell am I gonna keep track of what ones I took a day?

Ok, remember the other night I was tell'n ya that I did a couple them inhaler thingys and was feel'n much better? The next morn'n I did it again, an' boy howdy let me tell ya....I feeled like a hunnert dollar bill all day long. I feeled so good I decided to work on the "billy jeep". After I finally found that damn cat Leonard. What does he do an' where does he hang out all day long? An' all night long. 

I was sit'n on the deck sip'n up a cup an' breath'n good. "Let's install the blend doors I ordered 4 months ago". Ok, blend doors. I ain't even gonna try to 'splain what blend doors are, but the are part of the a/c system....left an' right control. I goes out an' cranks up the "billy jeep" to move it closed to my chair an' coffee mug on the deck. Run a extention cord to operate my Dremel tool an' a light. Removed the glove box an' fires up the Dremel. Cut a hole right through the plastic enclosure an' yank out the old blend doors. Very very close quarters an' I got me the bruises to prove it. The new doors were installed an' actuator motor reinstalled....Yeee haas, it works. I quit for the day.


Yesterday I was finish up the blend door project, but I didn't feel good. Maybe today. Ya see, that new inhaler thingy (Proair) did a number on me. It dried out my throat an' air tube. Flem would not come up. Breathing was kind of hard. But I got over it an' I ain't took no more of it since. But I will later today just to see if it does the same thing. 

There's another family camp'n trip planned for Labor day....or something like that. Will I go this time? A good possibility, but don't get your hopes up. It all depends on how good I feel. Or how bad I feel. I think Robert tell me it's gonna be up in the north Georgia mountains. I like the hell out of it up there, but the ride to get there....my God it's a hunnert an' some miles. Shoot, I could do me some rainbow trout fish'n. Speak'n of fish'n, in Georgia I can get me a old folks never expire lifetime fish'n license for free. Fish anywheres I want salt or fresh water. One of the advantages of being old as a rock.

Other news.....nuttin. So's I'm gonna go fry up them eggs. Laters....

  1. When I have to take a bunch of meds I get a scrap of paper and write down what I took when. No way I'm gonna remember.

  2. Hey you take them inhalers (especially Symbicort) you gotta rinse your mouth and throat out really well or your mouth an throat dry out, you get a yeast infection. and that is not fun, been there done that.

  3. hi BB. it is so nice to hear that you are feeling possibly good enough to go camping with your family and also have the possibility to catch a hole lot of free fresh fishes to feed the hole family , that would most likely make you a real hero to the family . just do not forget to go a head and apply for your free never expire lifetime fish'n license . take care.

  4. Good to read you are feeling better.

    Yup, rinse your mouth; been there, done that, too. Hopefully the doctor or pharmacist told you to wait 10-15 minutes between puffs on you bronchial dilator. There is a study on the web that says if you do, the second puff gets deeper in the lungs. I feel better and use my rescue inhaler less often.

  6. hi BB. you know i know nothing about golf , so i was watching one guy win this golf tournament . his score was 58 . does that make sense to you ? i guess it means that he took 58 strokes to sink 18 holes . 58 divided by 18 = approx. 3.2222 strokes by hole i guess ? did you happen to see that guy apparently break a record?
