Good morning!!!!

[Rich B1]

Internet is fixed. Different tech showed up today. He was not told someone was here yesterday. Was going to start all checks over again. After I explained everything that was done yesterday, he did a performance check of the modem, assured me I had a great connection. Asked for the home phone # and said he was going to the router.

About 2 hours later, he came back and asked if I could restart the modem. Amazingly, it started up and had internet.

Seems they had pushed out a software update and had a glitch. Again. 4 months ago, same thing happened. That time it took them 14 days to figure it. This time, only 6bdays.

BEF, Guernsey County is due south of me, and to date, they have one case. So your family must be a bit further south. Hope your s inter and BIL are doing ok

55 now, had a brief shower about 6.

I was talking to my friend Fred and found out he sold his pharmacies and women’s center. He seemed relieved that he didn’t have to deal with it after 40 ish years.
Now we are planning some get together when we can.
Trying to stay in touch with friends and family, but it is not easy.

Have a good night and stay safe.

2 orders: Haldol 5mg IM STAT. Repeat if needed.

My favorite to give to the psychos was a cocktail of 5mg Ativan, 5mg of Haldol, and 5mg Diazepam..... calmed their arzzes real fast...

Good evening all. 65F for the start, light fog calm wind. Overcast early then partly cloudy, light to moderate wind, and high temp was 84F. Putter day, picked up leaves, made hand sanitizer. Did get a nap in.
Cooke county still 0 cases, Grayson count up 1, Montague still steady.
Eric any idea where they were running?
Mike no chance of repair for the old pressure washer?
Thomas nice moon set
Ron nice setup. I try to do house work while it is raining. bike will need cables cleaned and checked for smooth operation, chain lubed and tires inflated.
Drew, your generosity warms my soul.
RNG I usually get some flower pics on the Easter which has been canceled. Good luck on your town run.
Don was it really that bad?
Rich hope you get your internet back this time, fourth time is a charm?
Frank, busy day
Rick sorry about your info abuse. Karma has a funny way of biting people back for stuff like that.
Jay When you do use it, we will need proof
Rich good news on internet
Randy, this would be a difficult time for dealing with the public.

Can I put ten quid on the one forth in the last photo.

Now that was funny. Thanks Jim and Eric....

Good morning! 68˚F heading to the upper 80s partly cloudy, South wind. Today is store day so taking spray alcohol and the now REQUIRED or as they say "strongly encouraged" mask. I have several mask so once I get back I can let it sit for 3-7 days before I have to use it again.

Did not fall through the ceiling Ron, I was too traumatized after about halfway through my haircut my wife said this isn't looking right and left.

Our Town is staying at 10 cases and the county is adding only 5-7 a day, (not doubling every 3 days). We are up to 81 county wide now. Another person has died that brings us up to 3. 14 have been admitted to an ICU. People in Rural areas on the virus thread only think they have it better. Do they know if their closest hospital has an ICU? A lot of Rural hospitals do not. Kyle and Rick LaGrange hospital does not.

Thanks Don....BTW, my hair is getting real moptop. I could go back to high school, or be on a Beatles album cover....

PJS, I look at avatars too.

We have an ongoing project experiment at work, that has to do with N95 filter cloth and micro particles. The particles can actually burrow into the filter cloth fairly far, so I recommend putting N95 masks in the oven at 170F for an hour.

Drew, that was nice of you. I have been rotating 3 masks that I purchased last year for mowing. Using the above method.

You guys stay safe.

The neighbor brought back my factor BH thumb with him from the dealer. We unloaded his tractor this morning, then he said let ‘ s go install your thumb. It took us about 30 minutes to put it on, nice fit and well made. Overall, spent about 3 hours talking about tractors.... go figure. I can ‘ t wait to try it out. Other than that, did a little bit of the landscaping project, but didn ‘ t complete the next section, saving some for tomorrow.

The state of NM now has 794 cases of Covid19, 13 deaths. There are now 66 cases in Santa Fe county (where we live). Looking at the surrounding states, we are far lower in the numbers. I am curious if it is due to population density or other factors...

 

[Looking4new]

LS, that looks like a thumb that could be converted to hydraulic fairly easily. No welding required, just plug and play.

 

[LS Tractor Owner]

Yep, cylinder would go in, just 2 pins. The expensive parts would be the diverter valve. I have been thinking maybe run a single valve off of the extra remote...

 

[buckeyefarmer]

Population density is a big part of the spread. Most of MD is around the beltway. My county at 121, state at 4371. The number of new cases has decreased the last 2 days. We are starting our 3rd week of stay at home, so hopefully the trend continues. I believe today’s results are the results of actions taken 2 weeks ago.
