Governor Dewine has issued a mask mandate for the entire state of Ohio, effective in 24 hours ...

We have had mandatory mask in Texas since July 3 or face a $250 fine. I have seen 100% wearing mask. However just yesterday I started seeing a lax of wearing the mask correctly. Some noses are exposed or the mask just covering the chin. One lady had the mask sitting an inch away from her face, I think she had wire instead of elastic holding it in place around her ears. Expect to see compliant but noneffective wearers of the mask as time passes . . . .

Not a bad day...never even saw close to 80...mostly 75-78 and cloudy...some rain, but that didn't last too long.
Drank a couple beers when i got home to wash down 2 ham and cheese sandwiches.
Tomorrow, I get a cat scan on my chest and an ultrasound of my aorta. No food or liquids after midnight, so I'd better have another beer. I can do without the food, but I'd surely like water...

Just picked up more branches from a really violent storm that just came through. Power was in and out. Enough that all the directv boxes reformatted themselves. Of course the one branch that was hanging from the previous storm....is still hanging. Other branches around it came down. It figures.
Looks like a couple of RTV trips to the burn pile are in the plans for the AM.
Wife says should have got a grapple for the tractor. I told her it is not too late for that. Major hint.

I guess Mother Nature balances things out. I gotta check the pool for water level. I like not taxing the well for the pool refill.

Have a good evening all. See you in the AM.

Good luck to you Roy. Here is to a healthy outcome.

Day started with no hot water. Breaker tripped again, about 4th time in the last yr the water heater breaker has tripped.

Storms came thru this afternoon so I stayed later at work. Was still lightning lots when I left.

On way home was 72°. After a couple 101° days that was cool. Got more much needed rain at home. Electric off up the road, they were repairing lines. My house fed from other direction.

Had first green beans from our garden for supper. Wife picked beans, green peppers, 1 cucumber this morning. The pole beans are not doing well, beans were from the blue lake bush beans. Think I’ll go back to just bush beans.
Got green tomatoes but none ripe.

Is it legal for governors to mandate masks? Or has legislators passed a law ?

I wear one at work when others come around. For the most part I only deal with a couple people, usually work alone.

Short evening when you were work late.

78F and mostly cloudy @ 22:00. Band of showers to the west and we should be able to get some decent rain out of it, if the radar is any indication. Should know in the next hour or so.

Got concrete slab behind garage raked and hosed off, compost tumbler emptied and hosed off, and then worked on removing the nails whose heads got cut off when we removed the siding to extract the honeybee nest. Probably got that 90% done. Started working on removing old caulk ... going to require the heat gun. Cleaned out and hosed off a plastic tote.

Finalized and placed Menards order. Got notification around 20:00 that it was ready for pick up.

Jeremiah dropped off new phones and got info transferred over ... after a couple of hiccups (not his fault) Still have to install the screen protectors and put phones in their cases.

After that The Woman ran down to Subway and grabbed a couple of sandwiches for dinner. I got the Cold Cut Combo (which I love), she went with a Meatball Sub ... :thumbsup:

After dinner I went out on the deck in the cool of the evening and started removing the spindles ... and the top rail ... just to see how easy it was going to be (very easy) ... got a baker's dozen removed, but still many left to go.

Hope everyone had a great day ... :thumbsup:

Good evening all. 75F this morning, mostly clear, light breeze. Light wind day, storms in area but no rain here, high temp was 93F feels like 99F. Low rain chances in 10-day, but not optimistic on getting some. Men's Meeting first thing this morning, wife did not walk w/o me . Bike ride this morning, Schwinn now over 6K miles since rescue. working on buying the access plot, POA wants more than I want to pay, real estate guy no show tonight.

Roy hope cat scan goes well.
Dennis hate it when no hot water. Nice haul from garden. Power to require mask comes from health emergency, not sure if court tested or not.
prayers for all especially Drew/friend, jay/Peg, Kyle's daughter, Country
stay safe and healthy you all.

Is it legal for governors to mandate masks? Or has legislators passed a law ?

I suspect that it is (legal), and that it is contemplated under Ohio law pertaining to the Department of Health and the Governor's Powers during Public Emergencies.

I wear one at work when others come around. For the most part I only deal with a couple people, usually work alone.

I generally wear one when I am out in public in places where I would encounter others at a relatively close distance (in stores, restaurants, etc.)

I do not wear one outside here at the house, or while I'm driving somewhere.

Glad you are getting rain, although I'm sure you could have done without the lightning and downed trees.

Those beans sound really good ... :thumbsup:
