    Default I think Covid19 stress has cost me leg hair

    Seriously, in the last two years I have about half the fur I had prior to the pandemic.
    For the first time in my non-racing lifetime, I can see a reason to shave what's left.
    No Pics!

    Yul has the same problem with his lower calves.
    I have more fuzz, but less tone on the upper frame.
    I also have more stuff on my skull.
    He still looks like a much more intimidating dude.
    Those gold anklets might draw the eye away from my ugly ankles.

    Basically aging turns most men into mole rats.

    My leg hair has definitely thinned. I had let it go throughout Covid since my rides were mostly on the trainer or mountain biking. The hair on my head is also thinner with distinguished gray on the sides. I'm still holding out hope that I'll be completely gray before it's all gone.

    On a side note, I got to see Yul on stage in The King and I in the early 80s.

    Hair transplant surgery from the ears, nose, back and back of neck (nerd fur is a favorite term) sounds like a possible cure.

    That might be possible, but a bit pricey and likely a very patchy field.

    On a positive note, I punched my #4 entry on my Covid-19 Vaccination Record Card today.
    Whoopee!
    but I may need a new card, this one's full.

    I was thinking about the fourth since I'm turning 57 next month.

    This time around if was a 5 minute drive, 5 minute procedure and headed back home.
    I did ask the guy poking me in the arm about the name of the pharmacy, Samy's Healthmart Pharmacy.
    Turns out he is one of 4 founders, the name is a combo of each founders childrens first name/first letter.
    Gotta support that!
    Just a slightly sore arm and more sleep on the day after.
    70 yrs here.
    Go for it Bill!

    might I request Mole Rat as my moniker?
    Seriously, please?
