I'm scheduled to get both a COVID booster (2nd) and Shingles vaccine this afternoon. I'm curious how that will work out for me.

The “baristas” wouldn’t even look at me, finally I went up and asked if I needed to go back behind the counter and get it myself. The response was, I thought the other girl got it. Then why the **** am I standing here stairing at you with no ice coffee in my hand if the other girl made it!!!!!!

They never get damp. ...............................well............almost never........It doesn't work if I pull the car in the garage with lots of snow on it.

Dream used to be to live at one, but flying for a living has kind of soured that idea. Last thing I want to do when I get off work is look at a plane.
I also never got my A&P and do not want to pay for an annual inspection or oil change or anything related to MX.
