    I used to play a lot of chess, back in the day, same thing.

    We called it "touch and go". The first piece you touch, you're moving it.

    I do the same thing. My wife was telling me about people who habitually load their carts and either don't want to buy everything or don't have the money so they make their decisions at checkout. What they don't want is then put in a basket. Then those baskets are sorted. Then someone puts them back on the shelves. The only items that go directly back are cold case items (meat/dairy/etc.). So now these items are handles at least 5 more times and who knows where all those hands have been, gloved or not.

    Something else that I've done, especially when picking out rolls out of the bin the store bakes. Use the plastic bags (meat/produce bags) and use it as a glove. I haven't bought fresh rolls since this started (and I shut down) since I seen 2 old farts with their gloved hands (that they touched half a cart of groceries with) in the bin squeezing all the damn rolls. I use the bags because they're long enough to go over the ends of my shirt sleeves at the wrist.

    For me. The JLU has a more comfortable riding position. Easier to enter and access. Seats have better support. Off road they are close but the JL will outperform in the real tough stuff stock no mods compared to my lifted and bigger tired Taco (same tires on each). Don't even get me started on fuel economy. My frigging wife drives her JLU hard and always gets better gas milage.

    Hey I am well qualified for the 60+ "short bus" riders. But every time I go out seems like I see a LOT of them. Where they hell did all these old farts come from?!

    You betcha! And don't forget ice cream :thumbsup:

    Going in the morning tomorrow. Not sure I am going to do the Costco thing but certainly the grocery store. Want to get started on the yard but have an inch of ice and snow on everything but it is up to 28° now so hope it will be gone soon. But afraid it will be too wet tomorrow to do yard work. With work don't get much time during the week to do it but have a bad feeling that there will be more than a few weeks to get through this yet. Unfortunately.

    I sand hardwood floors and about ten years ago I had some sinus issues which led to sinus surgery.
    My doctor recommended that I should do this twice a day especially considering what I do.
    I was just thinking that even if you don't have sinus issues it wouldn't hurt to do this once in a while.. all things considered.
    One tip, Don't use tap water..
