Well, I have a road trip tomorrow. I have a C&P exam for hearing and tinnitus. And with our glorious Veterans Administration procuring and scheduling, I have to drive well over 100 miles, one way for this thing.
The thing is, by the time I drive over two hours to reach this place, my tinnitus will be screaming at me more than likely once I get out of the car. It used to be really bad when I was towing with my SuperDuty. That exhaust really wasn't very loud in cruise conditions. Now it did get quite loud when the boost came up and it was under load. But after two or three hours towing in it, it was absolutely ridiculous once I got out of the truck. Most times that was at a truck stop and I had to be more cautious just walking around since my hearing was so damn bad with it screaming in my ears.
I know I'm going to fail that test so damn bad with that tinnitus screaming in my ears after driving over two hours!
On a positive note, this is in Bossier City, Louisiana.
When I was running the Fun Ford Weekend drag racing series, Horseshoe was one of the stops quite frequently coming back from eastern races .
I think I might as well take advantage of the situation!
I'm glad that I don't have a problem with gambling. I walk in with a set limit and when that's gone, I leave. I usually don't have a problem of leaving when I'm ahead, but I have been way way way ahead and blown a few thousand. I look at it like this. If I leave with more money than I walked in with, that makes it a good trip!
With my little 24 hour humidifier test, I used 4 1/2 gallons. Since I gotta go so far I'll probably leave an hour and a half early and topping off the humidifier will be the last thing I do. I think I will have plenty of time and not have to rush back. I'm just going to go ahead and do a dry run, Ha ha, today. I plan to leave at 10:30 AM in order to be there for my appointment. I've already set an alarm with Alexa for today "Good morning Bill. The current weather is seventy five degrees..............." You see! They're listening everywhere!
