60+ year old thread.

Good Morning all . About the most getting out the missus and I are doing now is walking around the neighborhood. Everyone is really good with "social distancing" so I feel pretty safe. Friday afternoon some of our neighbors and us are going to have a driveway Happy Hour (staying at least 6 feet apart) to help with some of the boredom of staying in. Give us all a chance to catch up on things. Have a great day and stay safe.

 

Morning all!

Made a new batch of hand sanitizer. Light lime aroma. Decided setting up a blending plant would be too resource consuming. But it's got 2X boost and three types of skin protectant and is 75% isopropyl.

 

Wife made some sanitizer with aloe vera, isopropyl. Kinda nice, hands washed so much these days, have to watch chapping. I also carry a 2oz fingertip spray bottle of iso in my pocket, because I tend to forget chit.

 

Without giving my recipe away :

All dilute to get 75% Isopropyl alcohol:
99% IPA
Water
Aloe Vera
Glycerin

And just tiny amounts:
Lanolin
Lime essential oil (A couple drops can barely smell it, but didn't want to smell like a pirate)
H2O2
Vitamin D
Vitamin E

End product as you rub hands, yes alcohol is really there, then it evaps off, some feel some water, then feel just a little lotion, then hands dry and not greasy but protected and NOT sticky.

 

My wife loaded up when the Covid 19 madness first started.

 

Smart!

 

Our local county paper ceased printing today(weekly) after over 100 years of continuous printing, left the door open to start again when this is over. They put out a paper for each of six small communities.
Good news, after only eight days, my Fed refund is showing in my bank account. Next week maybe for the Stimulus check?

Interested in timing of stimulus $. We won't get any....hah..... Wish my just starting out daughter and soon to be husband could. But was a dependent even in 2019.

 

Darnn, trout season delayed. In a way, nice to keep everyone away and have food left in the grocery store. Bad in a way, just moved here and first time I wouldn't have to drive 350 miles to drown a worm.

 

I was listening to the radio, but up here, they wanted fish season to start normally for something to do, but had heard areas like yours were more afraid of people bringing the virus with.

Here is a link to a short little video someone near and dear to me/us did in her off time from film school. Some may complain it is a request to go to the "beach". but keep in mind the "source" of the request. I hope it brightens your day.
Enjoy!

Yeah, the Mammoth Village hospital is full, Northern Inyo Hospital is ok for now - only 11 cases at home. Alpine County is starting to have cases and they are small.

 

Like this?

 

Glad to see that someone still has a sense of humor to share with us

 

Yep!!!

 

Good morning, everyone! Lynn and I made our trek yesterday - I picked up my prescription and then joined Lynn in the grocery store and took over shopping for her mom while she did ours. The store was pretty well stocked - still very little toilet paper but there was some. No hand sanitizer, of course. Not a lot of orange juice or eggs. Otherwise, you had normal choices of most everything.

We wore gloves and masks - still a bunch of people out without either. I swapped gloves between the drug store and the grocery store, wiped down the cart, etc. When we got home we wiped all the packages and containers down with a bleach/water mix and then put them in a clean spot until we finished cleaning everything - then put them away. From out the door to everything away - 2 hours. Overkill? Perhaps. But, rather safe than sorry. With caring for Lynn's 93 year old mother, we don't want to expose her to anything.

PA opened fishing season early this year - made a sudden announcement on Monday. Seemed strange when we are being told to stay home and not go anywhere unless absolutely necessary....except fishing. Fishing is OK.

Enjoy your day, the weekend and Happy Easter!!

 

Happy Friday folks. The only going out I have been doing is walking around the neighborhood. Don't want to put anymore weight on by just sitting around and snacking. Got caught in the rain while walking yesterday and it brought back memories of when I was a kid and got caught in the rain and jumping into puddles (didn't jump in any puddles yesterday). It was almost refreshing . Have a great day and stay safe.

 

Morning all:

 

'Morning fellow crusty old coots and Susan.

This was interesting. For the past few weeks I've been doing shopping for us + my parents at the same time, because my parents are in a senior living place and it is locked down. My dad and mom have been giving me very specific instructions on what to get and where to get it; for example "strawberries, EAST COAST ONLY -- don't want any other kind." It's pretty clear they haven't been to a food store lately, right?

Here's the interesting part. Yesterday my dad called me and said, "If you don't have to get anything for yourselves, don't go just for us. We'll be fine for another week. Stay home." I think it has finally sunk into their nonagenarian brains, after all these weeks, that we are surfing the wave of a pandemic.

And so I get to stay home today!

 

Fishing in all WA state closed.
Hunting closed.
State and County parks CLOSED and your car will be towed if you park at a trailhead.

But metro (crowded) Seattle parks..........open and finally: https://komonews.com/news/coronavir...of-seattles-largest-parks-to-curb-coronavirus

My assumption..........well you don't want to read about how intelligent some people are.
