Good morning!!!!

[check]

Michigan started 1b vaccine on Monday. That includes anyone over 65. Today they came out with a statement that 1c could start in May. All others may start by July.
My Dr today says he has had both of his shots. He was in 1a.
I need another MRI. Will not get it until 3 weeks after second shot.

Over 65! Too bad I can’t drive down to Michigan and get in line. (Don’t know when Ontario will get around to the over-65 crowd.)

Meanwhile, York University is restricting courses to online, with very limited exceptions. And the Ontario Government just instituted a new “State of Emergency” lockdown, whereby the in-class post-secondary exceptions are limited to 10 persons in class at any one time. BUT (and this is the bad part) York U. Is making a big exception (50 students in one room!) for nursing students.

So, my daughter will go to her big 50-person Nursing class and maybe pick up Covid and bring it home to me.

I wrote to the York U. President about this, asking her if she was aware and what she was going to do about it.

Another possibility is to get the government to put these nursing students on the same vaccine priority list as e.g., practicing nurses. (SWMBO has already been vaccinated with her first shot.)

We will see what happens.

Drew. No Ron here as for photo capabilities, but yes, really liking the iphone 12 Pro Max camera. Even Sophie thinks she gets better pics. I think most carriers offering trade in/upgrade deals. AT&T gave us $700 each for our 3yo iphone x. Takes the sting out it a bit.

The tail looks German, circa WW1, could it be a Fokker BIplane in the making?

2 months old. It was even scarier than it appeared, the shop was in a hangar full of antique airplanes and projects.

Sure erased any thoughts that I had about knockoff batteries.

Yep, my bill for two lines runs about $29, last month was $15, paid $40 one month in 3.5 years.

vs 106 a month? yup, I need to consider giving up up my Mifi and consolidating my Xfinity account.
Now if Verizon wants to keep me by giving me a free Iphone 12, well I'll give that some thought too...

Finished another birdhouse, came out pretty well, and landscaper hasn't come back yet

time to chill on a Friday afternoon. I just know as soon as I lay down for a nap landscapers will show up.

Rick those are some nice coffee grinders, especially if they still grind sufficiently. My grandma's burs were all flattened, it is just a shelf decoration now.
My Italian coffee grinder is grinding good and we use it in the re-usable Keurig pods.





Bought a steam deflector and a steamer basket for my Instant Pot and posted pics on the TBN Instant Pot thread.

He does have a flying Fokker DR1 Triplane though.
Here’s a link to his web page.

Not sure this would qualify as a progress pic, but it does show the chase with water and gas lines.



For anyone wondering, those corner connections will go to outdoor BBQ grill and sink.
The chase will get covered with T111 and painted to match.

nice headlines....sigh.
Mutant COVID-19 Strain From the UK Appears in New York

guess that answers the question, what's next?

landscapers thumping away installing base for pavers, those are going in now.
3 Hispanic guys that I have not yet established effective communication with but I have faith
it will look nice when they are done.
Then will put portable generator and propane tank back in place with a little room left over for a new
barbecue. And reconnect the security lock.

I use those same pods, but just put Folgers Gourmet Supreme coffee in them every morning.
