    Good afternoon all!
    Here's my burning question. It may have been discussed, I may have missed it.
    After this virus and the next one due in the fall, what is greeting someone going to look like?
    I'm assuming that the ancient hand shake will be a thing of the past.
    This world is sure going to be different.

    Stopped by Lowes again yesterday, wifey wanted some hanging plants for the deck. ALL garden center access gates were closed, no access except through the store, which was super busy and no masks on ANYONE. We just kept on driving out of the lot. In all fairness, this county only has 45 confirmed. I hope it stays the course.

    Morning all:
    I went back to Lowes yesterday morning to replace the fitting I borrowed from my buddy, another long line waiting to get in so I left, then went to a local hardware store that's open Sun. and walked right in and got what I needed.
    What I'm seeing in our area is that everyone is wearing masks when inside establishments or standing in lines, once outside not so much. Everywhere I go has a sign posted that a mask is required to enter, looks like the hicks might not be so dumb after all!
    Have an appointment for scheduled Toyota care this afternoon into a high risk area, (Lehigh county Pa.), need to be extra cautious while down there!

    Morning folks. Be Safe and be Well. We have been running the G-dog to the vet but had the weekend off. Have to take him back today. We aren't allowed into the vets, they come out to get the dogs or cats and masks are required. Better to err on the side of caution. Have a good day all.

    Good morning, everyone. Looks like we are finally starting to war up here in northeast PA. Started getting the pool ready - hopefully it will be good for the coming Memorial Day weekend and warm temps. Stay safe out there!!!

    I worked in the Woodlands for 10 years, hated being there the whole time. Boss asked me when I was going to move to be closer to work and I told him when all the idiots moved out. After 10 years they closed down our department and I was sent back to the plant and the boss said it looked like the idiots outlasted me. . . I replied yeah, enjoy your time here.

    My house is two miles from the eastern shore of Lake Conroe. My family used to own a marina on the lake.

    Good Morning folks :hattip:.
    Yesterday the missus and myself were on the PA turnpike heading west for the Morgantown exit. I was cruising along at 76 MPH in the left lane passing slower traffic when a red Ford Explorer comes right up my ass. I speed up a little more and when I look in my rear view mirror I see the driver pointing for me to move over. I put my signal on and move over and as he passes I give him the middle finger salute:brianr:...He in turn as he passed flipped on his lights a second then continued on his way faster than me...He was a State cop in an unmarked car :facepalm:. I thought he was enroute to an emergency when I finally passed him he was pulled up behind a car that had mechanical problems on the shoulder. First time I ever gave a cop the finger and got away with it :D.
    Have a great day folks and be safe.

    Afternoon all:

    :oops: :laughing: I can picture that happening Ken! He must have been in a good mood, or the guy he was after really must have done something wrong, watch out for those unmarked cars, they can be anything.

    Hi Carl, Get that tom yet? You can always say he was trespassing on private property :D. The cop wasn't after anyone in particular as he didn't have any lights on except for a quick second after he passed me to let me know he was a State cop. I passed him a couple of miles down the road as he was parked behind a disabled car on the shoulder. I didn't think of it but I should have waved as I went by:rolleyes:. I might not have been so lucky doing that. LOL. Have a good day and be safe.
