Been fighting the crud this week. Tried to get a referral through my PCM so Tricare would cover a doctor visit while I’m on leave…got told my symptoms weren’t severe enough and “it’s viral, there’s nothing anyone can do”. That’s what they told me two years ago when I got sick and then developed pneumonia which went un(mis)diagnosed for almost two weeks. Luckily, I have family that are healthcare professionals and they may or may not have given me the meds that have me on the mend.
Haven’t worked out for a couple days but I did feel good enough yesterday to work with my dad in the shop. We processed four pigs, made 60 pounds of sausage, processed two deer into cube steaks/cutlets and sausage. I’d say it was a workout, took us about 14 hours from start to finish. Had a glass of scotch and took some NyQuil last night and slept for almost 12 hours.

Hiked 6 miles in the state forest that I used to hunt as a kid. Found a pretty sprawling hobo camp and was approached by two of them looking for money. Not a good feeling being 3 miles from the nearest paved road and out of cell coverage. As always, Mr Glock was by my side so I wasn’t too worried. Planning for an hour long run tomorrow morning if I’m not coughing too much.
4 miles this morning with Tiny Elvis- the last day of our below normal temps, tomorrow starts a week of record breaking low temps several days below -20F!
on a more positive note, I broke 2000 miles today (2002) and need only 20 miles to hit my goal of 2022
Got a case of Bleacher ass yesterday watching both boys at another wrestling tournament. Went into FORLOH Friday night. Pretty good looking gear and the kid working there was great.

3 miles on a chilly day with my daughter and Tiny Elvis; looks like this will be the last day of hiking outdoors for awhile; the bright side is we'll set some new record lows
