FWIW: I’ve been told that eating yogurt after having antibiotics is a good way to reset you gut bacteria. I’ve not been sick enough in recent memory to have needed antibiotics, so I don’t know if it’s true or just an old wives’ tale.

Unfortunately, most of the illness/recovery process has been driven by the antibiotics they gave me. Totally destroyed my stomach culture, so most of the past two weeks has been me playing the “what can I eat that won’t make me barf” game. The actual bronchitis/coughing side of being sick has been mostly a mild nuisance in comparison.

Well, at least with Bronchitis you’ll be able to do a really nice bark. I had it every year from 8 until 12 or 13, and I could do a great bark (that huffing cough that you get from bronchitis) after having it that frequently. I don’t miss it.

Axel,
The landing accuracy story isn’t really that impressive. We knew that if we were going to win, it had to come down to accuracy, so we got a differential GPS setup, and integrated that. The rest was just IIIan taking the now much better signal, and integrating it into a good control loop. And keeping the shutdown transient short to minimize bounce.

Congratulation for winning the LLC! Hopefully I soon find the time to check the web if Masten has revealed how you achieved that incredibly good landing accuracy…

Get well soon. And enjoy the break anyway.

Hey Jon – that’s always the way: As soon as your body knows it’s safe to relax, all the lurgs have a field day.

Get well soon.

Sorry to hear about the bronchitis. Good to see you’re back online. Get well soon.

People report this sort of thing all of the time. Troops rarely get sick in combat, but as soon as you get a three day pass and are on the bus to Saigon, you start sniffling. Get better!
