Morning all

Strange times we live in. Normally I would never want to be tracked, but now my vehicle has telematics, my cell phone has GPS and I would like to know if I have been exposed. So maybe this is a time to allow it.
It has worked to a degree in other countries.

South Korea started opening up their economy because of no new cases.

Guess what, it flared up. But with tracking they can isolate it better.

Strange times

 

Well, the virus claimed another life. My BIL passed last night.

 

Man I am sorry to hear this, I just don’t have the words to express. Thoughts and prayers for your family.

 

So sorry friend. Thoughts and prayers for your family. Be strong and supportive for them.

 

Damn. So very sorry for your loss.

 

Sorry to hear this. Prayers for your family.

 

Sorry to hear this bad news.

 

Sorry

 

So sorry to hear, thoughts and prayers out to you and family.

It has been a difficult week, my sister was hospitalized for what they come to find a severe inner ear infection that made her so dizzie she had to call an ambulance, they originally thought she was having a stroke (???). A very dear friend had a massive heart attack on Tuesday, luckily his wife and two neighbors (who happen to be nurses) found him and revived him, he will need a fibula-tor. His wife was able to face-time with him yesterday. Both live in Florida, my sister lives in the family home in Winter Park and my friend lives in the Treasure Coast area.

Last tid-bit, my wife works at the local lumber yard (not big box but an actual lumber yard) in contract sales. there was a fight in the parking lot over wearing a mask, one guy was bitching out the other for not wearing one, his response was, and I quote, "my president doesn't wear one so I don't have to and God will keep me safe" that erupted in a confrontation. In my mind both numskulls were out-off-line, one for confronting the other for not wearing one and the other for pushing him after the statement - don't know if the statement was part of the fisty cuffs or the push. Either way this all goes back to my statement the other morning - a simple act of respect for others in keeping space and whether they chose to wear a mask or not is all that is needed. Our world has lost its frickin mind.

 

Oh man...

So very sorry..

 

Very sorry to hear this.

 

Good morning. Work finally started to slow down a bit yesterday. Then got a call that we are opening back up on Monday at 50% capacity and did I want to come in for an appointment? Sure.

Had to be there this morning at O'Dark thirty for Covid test and blood draw to check for antibodies. Holy crap they stick that nasal swab damn near to the back of the brain that caught me off guard. While they were drawing blood asked if they would check my A1c seeing how I have been doing Atkins for the last 4 months. Down 1.5 points from before. Have always said it was the damn carbs and sugars that get you in the end. Now please pass me the bacon...

I grew up doing that too, in Twin Tiers of NY and Pa. When I wasn't milking or stacking hay bales at $1 an hour. Started out setting the chokers and then moved up to trimming. Had to use manual saws in Parks where chainsaws couldn't be used. And some people didn't want to tear up the woods with heavy equipment so preferred horses. Old man Richter used Morgans.

Logging is big business in Mn. and times have changed a lot over the years. Even the motorized side of the house.



Anytime they cut I can't help but smile and think in another dozen years another grouse and wildlife habitat will be prime age. My maps are marked with cut dates that I've observed over the years. Topos and those things printed out on paper. Kids now days have everything electronic. Even maps. I got those too even for the dog. But still carry a map and compass.

I am so sorry to hear this. Thoughts are with you and your family.

 

Is it safe to say that it doesn’t matter which way this exhaust gasket gets installed? It is the forward part of the Y pipe . Passenger side

 

Somebody mentioned something about beavers being out of control where they live. Where I am it is cottontail wabbits . Dad gum things are running rough shod and have destroyed my tulips and a lily and iris ....

Wicked pissed

 

When I was teenager living in Norcal I used to Body surf or Body board alot especially the beaches south of Santa Cruz . I've gone to the Wedge just to watch and do the same when visiting my Brother in Oahu and the surfing at Sandy Beach or over on the North Shore

Nice looking Dog's

So sorry to hear this
