Default Dontcha Hate it when....

Greetings all,
Dont ya hate when ya spend most of the day preparing
the car for a shownshine (polishing,vacuuming etc)
and come the day of the show I end up with a rotten migraine headache !!!!! I had some carb tweeks to do on my ZX11 so I spent most of Saturday doing that and all I had to do to the car was get it ready (an hour job).
Did that,made sanga's(sandwitches) got cameras batteries charged up even had my signs,chairs and mascot (RayRay- my fluffy Stingray that sits on my dash)loaded up ready to go early Sunday morn.
Well I got up nice & early and POW....Migraine.
So I'm sitting here bummed out.
Oh well, there's a show next weekend so I'll be ready for that.
Now I'm just gonna chillax and do nothing 'cept watch
MotoGP tonite.
Cheers
Gav

I suffer with those as well, can get pretty bad at times. The other thing I hate that happens, is when you spend all night in the garage, polishing and detailing for a show, and when you get up in the morning, it is lousy weather, rain, rain, rain, that just sucks bigtime!!!!!

Hi Gav & OldSarge,
I know about migraines too. They can definitely spoil your day (or night).
My wife can see them coming in my face before I even have a hint!
Regards,
Alan

Also a sufferer of dibilatating headaches and migraines for years due to other issues. I have found incredible relief in the last year from Topamax and Relpax. Topamax daily keeps it in check and if for some reason it does get out of control Relpax puts the fire out.

Too bad you missed the show. But you should have at least taken a picture and posted it here so it didn't go to waste!
