Paul - another self-employee checking in!

Totally concur on taking care of your health FIRST! If your health goes, NOTHING else matters.

Like yours, my blood pressure is highest in the morning when I get up. Getting up and moving around lowers it.

Make sure you are not allergic to the gloves, I have an allergy to the medical gloves (causes rash and blisters).

When I found out some 30 years ago the perils of all the chemicals, I got rid of them all. EVERYTHING requiring chemicals is farmed out. The strongest chemical we have on the place is Right Guard!

Take care, and learn to say NO

Jon.

Take care of yourself Paul, appreciate all of your input to this forum. Focus on your health and modify your business take care of the bills, as Cliff stated none of the cars, guns or anything else matters without your health.

Best of luck to you!

13 Pontiacs lined up... Sheesh..

I'd like to think the results and the documenting of my 400 build here showed everyone what a top shelf machinist you are, and those 13 guys wanted on board, but the fact is you are just a darned good machinist that knows Pontiacs, is helpful here, speaks fairly, honestly from experience and without any attitude. People respect you for that and it is all you.

You worked with me for a long time when you built my 400, taking my worried calls and texts and emails. I know you work your butt off and I appreciate it.

If you need anything I'm here for ya.

I wish the best for you Paul in whatever you end up doing.

Also take note that what was a chem that for years you had no reaction to can change overnight if the manufacturer changes the formulation !
This happens all the time with laundry detergents when folks all of a sudden get skin reactions!

Paul - I am sorry to hear of your health issues and hope that you are able to get these resolved soon. I agree with Cliff - your health comes first and the results down the road will likely be worse if you don't try address this sooner rather than later. I can't say enough what a great resource you've been to all of us and your constant willingness to help is greatly appreciated!

Steve makes a good point re: the chemical formulations. Is this something you've already explored - or perhaps a different oil all together?
