I'll be getting Moderna. Mrs Stocker has other medical stuff going on so will have to wait for hers.

Getting signed up here has been a real crap shoot. No waiting list so it's first-come, first served whenever more doses become available.

Wife and I got our 1st shot 2 weeks ago. Moderna. We feel half way better about getting vaccinated now.
Now they are saying yearly boosters may be required for the foreseeable future.

I have been expecting that. Much like the flu, Covid probably can change year-to-year, and we'll have to keep up with it. If that's how it turns out, I wonder if the vaccines can be combined, with just one shot needed annually to help immunize against both Covid and the flu.

I read that some people are getting blood clots from the covid shots,, do they warn you of anything like this when you got your shot Mike ?

Got new tires on the wife's car. She was not impressed with the cost. Eh, you want to die from a spinout when one of your old tires blows out? Yeah, I thought not. You rent tires, same as batteries and beer. The tread was a little less than half there, but I could see some cracking, and they are almost 6 years old.

From what I have heard, the clotting issue -- though rare -- was in Europe with a different brand of vaccine (I forget which) and it turned out to be not caused by the vaccine. Does not appear to be a problem, at any rate.

Mike I believe that was Astra Zeneca from the UK that is discontinued due to links to blood clots.
We received Moderna.

Might want to take it easy for a day or two. After my second shot I woke up at 3am with chills and an achey body. Many people and most of my coworkers have reported the same thing after the second shot (Pfizer). First shot all I had was a sore arm, just like a tetanus shot. I’ve never felt anything or had any side effects from the flu shot.

I felt only mild pain like a flu shot from either injection. Just goes to show how different people are. I got the Pfizer vaccination.

Both of our light duty truck mechanics are out this week so I got sent to do some emergency work on this 2019 F350 power joke. Got it all Fixed up before lunch. Should have taken a picture of the mangled headlight I replaced. Some how the rig crew ran it into the back of the work over rig as they were moving from well to well.

Not today, but earlier this week.
I painted the chin spoiler and rear quarter-window covers of a friend's Mustang.

Wife and I had our second Pfizer shots last Tuesday and had no pain or any kind of reaction. We got our shots at or local Hy-Vee store. The needle they used was about 1 1/4" long compared to the 3" ones they show on TV.

Slept in, drank too much coffee, cardio.

Got the first Moderna shot this morning, no issues. Well, almost none -- date was changed for the second shot and the online system would not allow the change.
Was able to cancel the original (wrong) date but could not schedule the new date.
