Farmer, a little heads up on the Lipitor. It is a statin and 2 of the side affects are muscle pains and weakness. My brother, Larry, and I both went through the same symptoms. For me last year at Portland I was nearly handicapped by these side affects. Brother Larry clued me in on his experience with these meds. I was watching a commercial on tv and when they announced the side affects as sore muscles and weakness, I immediately identified with them. I was on Crestor which is same family as Lipitor. Quit taking the meds immediately and within 2 weeks the side affects were all gone. I take Zetia for my cholesterol and numbers all good and I feel better than I have for several years. Neighbor has a good friend who is a cardiac nurse who shares opinion of statins.

the RV roof rack...  :-)
I used to haul my Farmall Super MTA and my MM-R together on the trailer so
if I put a lighter tractor and the golf cart on it it will still tow
properly behind the RV. I just usually like to have the hitch as close to
the tow vehicle rear axle as reasonably possible for a heavy load. I have
shortened the frame on a few trucks for towing over the years.
I keep working on the recovery and if I can get rid of the max dosage
Lipitor side effects (seeing the cardiac guy this week) I think things will
continue to improve. He and I tend to think a little differently about some
things.
Using one of those firm exercise squeeze balls about 10 times a day seems
to be helping a lot with the muscle pain and loss of control in my hands. I
do worry though that I will end up with huge "Hulk" like hands attached to
little Tyrannosaurus rex arms.  :-)
