Looks like the Yellowstone River is flooding now. Wiped out the Tom Miner Bridge today.

slept like 15 hours or something. Body aches arnt as bad, but the head ache is just annoying. My body constantly feels hot but I don’t have a fever anymore. Fatigue is an issue but not as bad as I thought it would be. Hope the worst is already over.
My wife has it as well, which makes me think we were exposed last week.

Be well in any case
Then too, I've got 35 years on you, so your recovery might be somewhat different.

Stopped to have my oil changed in my new car. They don't have an oil filter for it. 
how do you change oil for a living and not have this oil filter? And also $110.00 for an oil change? Fml, I'll be doing my own after this one.

If appropriate stretching helps, it's piriformis.
I've had piriformis syndrome and a catastrophic lumbar disc blowout. It can be hard to tell the difference, but the disc was 100x worse and left me with noticeable muscle atrophy.

So curiosity... what car is it, and where did you take it? Dealer, I assume, which is rough but on a new car if it's a completely new filter I can see supply chains causing an issue, but not great... I'd have hoped that most cars at dealers would have a few compatible options. I know you can put a larger on on a lot of Hondas, for example.

That's about what I paid last time. The labor was $20.

I’ve had some weird stuff with my SI joint on the same leg- x-rays look like soap bubbles on it and have had CT scans that point to a benign process. It could have something to do with it, but this is deeper, almost in my hip and only with certain motions.

Deep in the hip with radiation in a pseudo-radicular pattern does sound piriformis-like. I am not a great believer in SI joint inflammation as a cause of neuropathic pain.

Ummm, supply chain issues. Also, more and more cars are making their oil filter proprietary making it hard for after market companies to supply them.
When I worked at an oil shop it wasn’t uncommon for us to have to run to napa or advanced to pick up filters for certain cars. We didn’t see enough of these cars in a year to order a bulk stock and or our supplier didn’t make them.
110.00 seems pretty common for oil changes now a days. I change the oil on all my cars because of this. I can get 5 quarts mobile 1 for 29.00 dollars and an oil filter for 13.99. It takes me 30 mins, why would I pay 100 percent more for someone else to do it.

An oil change on the Jeep or Mazda 3 is about $100. An oil change on the wife's Porsche is a little over $200.
The oil change interval on my car has not come up yet.

Oil change on the Dodge is about $100, too, with 7 qt of synthetic. But that's every 10,000 miles, so I figure it all works out. That, and there's a skirt or some other panel that has to be removed to get to the drain plug. And I don't have a garage or driveway to work on it.

I didn't remember you having a lumbar disc blowout. I remember a cervical fusion. My best goes out to you but it appears you've managed well. Kudos.

This is how it goes in the Trsnrtr household:
Wife: Are you going to miss tomorrow’s ride with the boys due to your monthly eye injection?
Me: Yes.
Wife: Oh, OK. Pump my tires and load my bike in the car if you would, please, since you won’t be there to do it at the ride.
Me: Should I fill your water bottles, too?
Wife: That’s a good boy. Don’t forget to charge my Garmin, too.
