Title: Message from the General (update)
Post by: Delmonico on November 23, 2020, 08:24:40 PM
He has the WU Wu phlu or what ever they are calling it today.  He is holed up in his camper and has little internet.  He says he fire, just tired and his voice did sound rough.   

He wanted me to pass this along.

Hang in there Jerry! 

Not totally sure, but I think I may have had Covid on my return from Europe last December.  About 10 days after our return I lost sense of smell and taste, felt very fatigued, and developed a bad cough.  Thought I was getting the flu or perhaps bronchitis again so dosed on my usual meds and my nebulizer.  Symptoms went away early January except for the fatigue which lasted for another month or two.  Didn't make the connection until around April but couldn't get tested as I wasn't showing any symptoms by then.

Similar symptoms, in January , felt tired and sore , thought it was my simits kicking in  along with a mean cough.
Stayed home two days on PTO , felt OK and returned to work , Cough lasted about 3 weeks
One of my carpenters got the same symptom when I went back  :o  was out 3 days and a 3 week cough.

I Didn't make the connection until around Mid-March

Hope your feeling better guys.

Major 2, that's the rub, I wonder how many people have had it and never knew it? I remember not feeling well back in the spring and taking a few days off, but that was back before all the ruckus. The wife, being in worse health, has had numerous covid tests, all negative. I've never been checked but wonder if I didn't have it back then.

No longer in quarantine, not Covid, high blood pressure has affected my senses. High enough that I can no longer drive for DAV. My home meter was a little higher then a calibrated medical grade. Still will volunteer at VA. Trying to get an appointment with my doctor.

Thinking the same for me in January, just some things never added up, if so likely part of the reason I'm behind the curve where I should be.

Thanks to all for the calls, texts and email notes of concern.

I am back work today. Was yesterday too, but couldn't "tough it out" for the full day. I'll make it today though.


The fatigue was the worst part for me. For all practical purposes I slept for a week and a half. I tried reading a couple of times and found it just too exhausting to continue.

Post by: Pitspitr on December 03, 2020, 01:34:41 PM
BTW, I may have to spend more time on sick call. Seems while I was sleeping there were several old friends who are spending time active here again. If me being sick is what it takes to get old friends to check back in.. well, I guess I could be convinced to be sick occasionally.  ;)

I for one am very glad to see you are back to semi normal.

If the General was perfectly normal, he wouldn't be near as "interesting"!

Glad you are back up and feeling better.   

November was a rough month, two of my high school buddies lost the mothers to Covid within a week of each other.   

Everyone stay safe!

Thanks Guys!

I don't know that I can recall ever being called "normal." "Colorful," on more than one occasion and judging by their expressions when they said it, they weren't talking about my freckles


I just really, "wanna ride my motorcy--cle"

River City John sez..."We're all bozos on this bus!" 'Firesign Theatre' album, right? Dark green and black.
Yupper! Another famous album quote from the mid-1960's was "Brown shoes don't make, quit school, can't take it!" as well as this notable ditty, "She was only 13 but she knew how to nasty!" Pushing the envelope then but pretty flat now. The original album had a yellow background with dad and crew spread out over the front. Think West coast in the mid-1960's. Need another clue? OK, his initials are F. Z., he wore a huge mustache and goatee and had loose wavy hair that looked like a vacuum cleaner hit it.
Ah, memories, at least Covid ain't taken all of those yet...ooops, jist dated myself!
Best regards and never stop remembering!

P.S. May God bless all those who have gone before me this past year. Those of us with severe disabilities or handicaps are left to counting the days when we hear about the hundreds of thousands that are said will pass before the end of the year according to the pros. May they all have peace at the end and go with God.

Old Gabe, discovered about 20 some years ago, mention "we are all bozo's on this bus" to a majority of people in our age group few will know.  Mention it to same age group of CAS/Living History/reenactor types and the majority will know.  Something in there for a doctorate or something, don't have time to take it on now, but it is true based on my surveys of a few hundred.

No I'm waiting for the electrician or someone like him. ;D

When I worked at the Fort we had this lady in her 70's about as straight laced as you can be.  One day there was an electrical problem and I walked in her Dept and it was dark, asked her what was going on and she said the above, asked her if she was a bozo on the bus and yep, she was. ::)
