This is what I imagine a checklist for a motorcycle trip looks like.

1. Helmet
2. Leather Jacket
3. Chaps
4. Weed
5. Jack
6. Cash (for more weed and Jack)
7. Sleeping Bag
8. Boots
Lol
If you plan on camping you need a lot more than that and you have limited space to pack stuff. Have to omit the weed and Jack :(
 
Pneumococcal booster. But, yah, have had the old man shingles shot. Cause a trip to the doctor without needles is not a trip to the doctor at all. :rolleyes:
Just make sure all you geriatric types are current on hepatitis shots and anything else that keeps the STD's away during your years at the horny old folks home!

I am pretty sure this morning that that pneumococcal booster is contraindicative to spider venom. Liberally dosing with my antidote to everything, coffee.
 
My boss had a mouse set up camp in his desk top computer several years ago. Of course he got him out quick before he started chewing on things.
Back in my early days at ISU, I lost TWO Apple III motherboards to mice. First one went into the back of the computer through the vents, and peed on the wiring. Fried him AND the computer. I came back into my office to this really HORRIBLE smell. Second time, a mouse dragged a twistie (paper-covered wire, like on a sack of bread) into the housing as part of a nest. Over the weekend, the paper shredded away until finally the exposed wires shorted out the motherboard when I booted it up.
I got smart after that, and attached a wire mesh across the back that was too small for the damned mice to fit through.

Oh - did I mention the cockroaches that were as big as my thumb? We had an indoor loading dock with a direct connection to the steam tunnels.

And the rats that came up from the grain storage in the root cellar?

And the bats that we would find roosting on the curved faucets in the lab sinks?

Old Botany was a really interesting building to work in... ;)

At least you weren't lonely. :D

PapaLew concurs...matter of fact, he thinks you have too much on there. He's not a helmet person...KC does NOT approve this!!!
 
Had a raised red, oddly square welt on my arm for a week or so. About an inch square, really really itchy. That's about it. No scar like most of my generation have from our small pox vaccines, a small circle on our upper left arm. They ended them before my kids came along, so unless you traveled overseas, you've probably not had one.

And even with the itchiness, it's STILL better than having full fledged shingles.

My smallpox vaccination never "took" so I am a unique 60-something without the scar thingy. Had several attempts. Either means I am immune :) or unprotected :oops:.
