Good. Modelers need hands. Hands feet shoulders and ankles really hard to fix. 
All y’all be well.

I got to spend yesterday at the "Hot Rod Reunion" at Famoso Drag Strip. Spent all day with one of my oldest friends, doing one of the things I like best. 

Got to see some great races, smell Nitromethane and burning rubber, and forget all the sad things happening in the world for a few precious hours. Turnout for Race Cars was fantastic. The Car Show in the Grove was just okay. About 75% full compared to 2 years ago when I went to the last one. The Crowd is getting older and greyer, but there are some new young drivers, who are really worth watching. The Cacklefest was okay, but a bit less than usual. Great to see "Freight Train" Cackle, however!

Placed an order with Hobby Search in Japan at the beginning of August. Never ordered anything from them before but reviews were good. I expected a long wait time and sure enough the tracking showed it left Japan right away and then nothing until October 20th when it arrived at Customs in New Jersey. October 25th the mailman shows up at my door with the package and wants a signature. Amazing service from Customs and USPS.

Goddaughter stopped by Halloween night just to say "hi".  I had to tease her to ask if the Jeep she was driving was her idea or her dad's (he used to have one).  Turns out it was he aunt's who needed a bigger vehicle but the young lady is driving a stick shift!!  Well done young lady!!

I hope you get over it, and aren't one of the severe reactions we hear about. Good luck, friend.

I woke up feeling much better today. i still have a nasty headache but at least im not feeling like I have a bad flu anymore. i woke up around 2am dreanched in sweat, so i suspect I had a fever that broke

As unpleasant as your experience was, I always figure it's a sure thing your body reacted to the vaccine and fought it and won. I've had a similar reaction to the flu shot in the past.

after my 2nd dose in march i felt like i had a medium sized cold for about 3 days. this time was way different. i was barely able to walk to bed from the living room. this was actually the first time i considered going to a hospital over an illness. and i had a flu years ago with a 103 fever. this was worse

[Snake45]

Glad to hear you're on the mend. Many have had much worse reactions, some permanent.

I had mine last week and felt like I had the flu. My doctor said you should have some discomfort as it tricks your body into making antibodies….

An unusually nice fall evening allowed me to get the frame rail and floor welded into my 71 Plymouth valiant

It's been 24 hours since I got "the booster shot" and I feel pretty good. Moving the arm sometimes reminds me I got a shot but I've had way more pain after working in the yard before. Glad I got this over and done.

In all the photos I have seen it never looked like it needed to be painted.

This car always looked so cherry in all the pictures I remember seeing.

Going to look great when done.  I have a question about your tires. The tread pattern looks like the tires have a directional tread pattern and the picture showing the right rear tire looks like the tread pattern is reversed.
