Cuzzo and I rode too Maiden, N.C. yesterday....Maiden is between Charlotte and Hickory and as last week barely in the Great Smokey Mountains....03 Dodge Ram 3500 in silver with the high output Diesel engine paired with an automatic transmission....92,000 on the clock....Owner said not a scratch and absolutely no modifications....Truth is there were 2 holes drilled into the dash top where a tuner had been...A tuner adds mega horsepower....The auto transmission is barely capable of living behind the diesel....add a tuner and you can expect to be in @$7500 for an auto that will live....Trans shifted fine but I was suspect....Eight digit in the vin code indicates engine....C indicates 325 hp high output...that's what I want.....6 indicates 305 standard output....There was a C in the 8th on the build sticker....the sticker on the engine had a 6 indicating standard output...not a match....what happened to the 325 hp engine???? Again I suspect the tuner got the engine....Lack of attention to detail was also shown as a simple change of the engine covers would have kept the correct number on the truck and hidden the engine change....Tires had excellent tread but dry rot cracks near the rims on all 6 tires and we gotta get it get it down Interstate 85 right off the bat....65psi in the tire....80 plus speeds on the interstate...blow out potential extremely high.....Long/short we rode 3 hours each way and came home empty handed....

Oh man! I’m sorry ElDee. :(

For the 2nd time this week I rolled out of bed, jumped into my levi's and drove down to the lab for fasting bloodwork, only to be met with a sign on the door saying they were closed for unexpected maintenance. At least there's a Dunkin Donuts on the way home for coffee o_O

Grainy snow off and on this morning, and cold as a witch's...udder! We managed to dodge the snow bullet yesterday, ours was all rain until this arctic air moved in last night.

I'm sorry about the truck, Dee...but mighty glad you know exactly what to look for.

We peaked at 20 today.

A rough one. Our lab Jasmine, who we picked up one week after our dogs Heidi and Homerdog passed away one day apart, was listless on Sunday, okay Monday and most of Tuesday, totally beat today.

We did a rush trip to the vet, xrays showed massive lung cancer. We took her back home and she died within an hour and a half, respiratory failure.

The only good things are that I was at home (work from home on a bad snow day), and that she stayed with us long enough to get back home and see the other three dogs one last time.

Got hit by a truck late Wednesday....Sinuses at back of neck began feeling painful....Woke with the hatchet in the forehead feeling.....Dry heaves and sleep all day long...Finally started breaking up late yesterday.....Sore and tired today....Thankfully head feels OK though....Heading out here in a few to see if the local Vitamin Shoppe has Serrapeptase....It's an enzyme Silk Worms spit onto the leaves they eat...Those leaves are tough and the enzyme breaks them down so as the worm can chew them up.....I've long known about Serrapeptase and have been meaning to try it for a couple of years....The enzyme breaks down proteins....plaque in arteries....scar tissue wherever it may exist throughout the body....also said to thin mucus.....Couple of days back my blood pressure was getting out of whack....Spike don't cook so most meals are picked on the fly....Greasy best sums that up....Stress from truck searches and just regular life added to the toll....Luckily I have some oil mixed with chocolate that will relieve all stress and lower blood pressure...Worked and fast I might add...Just when I made the chocolates I somehow got them 4X as strong as they should be....So a 1/4 will do fine....Needing to get with Auntie and get those chocolates cut to 1/4 strength...Then you get relaxed....pain relief and lower blood pressure all in one shot....plus it cures cancer as an added bonus......I've long feared as a Son of the South I may have plaque build up in the arteries....hey we live off pigs here....BBQ...pork chops....bacon....sausage.....Hoping the Serrapeptase works as I've read it does....We'll know soon....Truth is 2017 has taken a toll.....

I hit the Vitamin Shoppe and got reamed for a bottle of Serrapeptase and a Tumeric/Black Pepper combo....Took a Serrapeptase in the parking lot....Not sure if there was any arterial cleansing but the mucus definitely began flowing...Pretty clear and dried up sinuses atm.....I also blew out my sinuses with the bottle of salt water...Saw an increase in the dried mucus particles and little black dots I usually get the day after a headache...Maybe just maybe the Serrapeptase works....Went to the Mexican joint earlier and very gassy atm also....Not sure if the Serrapeptase is causing that or the fact I didn't have anything yesterday....I did eat a big breakfast this am....well prolly a big brunch....'bout 11am....Everything was fine post so I assume the enzymes in my gut are working away....Urine was foamy as well and that is an indication the Serrapeptase is removing unwanted proteins from the body....Time will tell and if it helps with my sinuses and nothing else I'm good!! Gassy but good!!

    My kind of bucket!!! Needing it now!

    Vitamin world in the mall I work at now is going out of business. I’m going to go check out that stuff ElDee. Might be cheaper bc of liquidation sale.
    The mall I work in is getting scary. Stores closing left and right.
