  • I switched up my meds as I’ve found my regular allergy meds are simply not working any more.

    I’ve been using Claritin as needed before bed the last few weeks and also Astapro (probably butchered that spelling) as needed off and on during the spring season. The latter is a nasal spray and it actually does a pretty good job.

    Last weekend I came down with either a cold or sinus infection so I broke down and got some behind the counter 12 hour Sudafed. Those have immediately helped me but I’m limited to taking them during the daytime and only before 12pm because they seem to really keep me wired unfortunately.

    I think someone else mentioned an option of pain relief - I usually use Motrin or a generic. That way it hits with a (not too high) dosage of Tylenol and Ibuprofen that works well to tamper down the sinuses.

















  • Years ago I picked up this roll up tarp I use for my windshield. Fits pretty much all cars and trucks and covers the whole thing with some elastic tie downs that loop over the rear view mirrors.

    Thing has been a life savor on cold mornings and even on days that it comes snow and ice.

    Just put it on when you get home and when you go out to get in it to leave of a morning there is zero scraping. You can still start the car to warm it a bit but all the work that is required is rolling it up to put it in the backseat.

    Granted if it snows or sleets it can make it more difficult as you have to move some of this off the cover first.
