Morning everyone
Thanks everyone for suggestions to stop the burn and itching.
I'm not a person who itches even from skeeter bites so when I'm scratching my skin off it's level 8, probably why alot of stuff doesn't knock it down.

Luckily the hives didn't spread yesterday any further. The burning and itching 90% plus gone, barely needed calamine lotion even. Roids must have fully knocked it down yesterday afternoon.
Something however set off acid reflux and kept me up all night. Worst case I've ever had, figures don't it.

Haven't been able to play with da Bear enough and he's getting moody so probably spend all day laying on bed with him. He's been a very good boy letting me rest.

Have a good day everyone.
Hope Mrs Ben gets some answers Ben

It's stupid nowadays.
2 years ago, the 2 door I bought was fetching $80k ($60k msrp).
Last year at this this time of year, prices dropped as more units sitting idle
waiting for chips, finally got their chips, and prices dropped $20k.

These Raptors haven't dropped in price too much (no below msrp prices yet), but there's a glut of them now.
Dealers are dropping their $15 to $25k add-on mark-ups and selling at
msrp, but no way I'm giving $50k plus mine for a 2 year newer suv.
I've seen a few 2 door Raptors available,so they are out there.

Good morning folks. Ben and Rod I hate to see that you are going through challenging times, and I will have good thoughts for the best outcome.

I don’t think it’s possible to get the Braptor in a 2 door. They should do it though.

So, I heard there was this guy near my house that leases out an equestrian barn, and he builds a 1/8th scale RC track. He gets from 40 - 80 people at club races and upwards of 120 for large events. This was literally right under my nose and I did not know about it. 4.3 miles from home...

For scale, the barn is probably over 60' wide and way longer.

I'll call you when I get up at 6:00 to take the dogs out. And keep calling to give you progress reports, over the following couple of hours. Sound good?

I have a fresh 1/8th build ready to go. They said I could run my 1/10th there but afraid if I got tagged by a 1/8th nitro, it would be expensive.

Morning all.

Wife had some kind of procedure yesterday that I can not spell. They found a blockage somewhere so in for another procedure today.

Spending most of the days at the hospital with her is expensive. Their cafeteria food must have gold flakes in it for what they charge.

Good morning, Ben.



Watch those hospitals. They're a good place to get sick.

Good morning Mr Ben and Mr Tiki.
I hope Mrs Ben gets home soon. Hospitals are ridiculous. I’ve packed a lunch from home sometimes when sitting at the hospital.
