Good morning!!!!

[daugen]

Don’t most pharmacies have drive up windows?

CVS does, good point, I'll try that this morning if not too many cars in line. Pretty sure Walmart doesn't. CVS wanted 75 bucks for the same drug Walmart sells me for 23...so worth going there.

Wishing you many many more trips around the sun.

28 and heavy frost early, up to 32 now, low fifties later.

First case of covid 19 on the Eastern Shore confirmed last night. One county over from us. Caught it while traveling to an area with community spread.

I may have to give up my job after today, lots of people pass through and I handle money. With my recent surgery and diabetes I’d rather not take the chance I think.

My rehab is suspended.

Have a great day folks, stay safe, prayers.

Happy birthday mpham

Wanted to sleep in and woke up early.

Debating about taking the day off.

 

[Thomas]

14F clear sky upper 30's for high.

Outside chores done E muffin time. :licking:
9 deer show up for there dinner last evening at the same time just before dark was crowded at feeder.
Plans for today...Since ground going to be frozen no raking today so in basement work shop finishing 3 pt. hitch carry basket brackets,than short walk about looking for antler sheds so I don't find them with mower or tractor tire,than take day as it comes.

Enjoy the day all.

Toppop I think that is wise on your part

 

[daugen]

Toppop, I think it would be wise to get yourself out of possible harm's way.
Your boss has to understand or he's not worth working for. Plus others in your family are vulnerable.

bright blue morning, chilly but nice.
Landscaper showed up with three trucks which surprised me but since local schools are shut down, he got his
high school helper for awhile. I guess my list for him will get done.

I'm off to the land of bugs and viruses...what could be worse than a drugstore waiting line...

 

[LS Tractor Owner]

Good morning to all! Low of 28, going up to 64 today. Not a cloud is visible from horizon to horizon. RNGs moisture should be coming this way by Wednesday.

I got the neighbors mower all painted and assembled for him yesterday. He finally got to Austin last night around 6 pm. , a long trip for sure, driving 13 hours (he says he will only do 60-65 mph hauling the trailer). He is definitely excited.

I had a little bit of time in the afternoon, so took the new mower out for a trial run. I am happy with the cut, went through about foot tall dried grass / weeds without difficulties. Nice level cut, no strain on the engine.

With all the Covid19 stuff going on, I am getting a little paranoid about the upcoming surgery in 11 days. When I asked them about it last week, it was not a concern. Things have changed quickly, I wonder if they are going to change their opinion on the matter..... I will call them towards the end of the week and pose the question....

Max goes to the Vet today for his neuter... he will not be a happy pup this afternoon. We will take the opportunity to do some quick errands. Maybe when I get home I will get a chance to put the mower through the paces and cut more of the fields.

My son went to Costco yesterday, got everything needed (Including eggs) except for toilet paper.... what is the obsession with toilet paper? People must have a year supply stock piled...

Everyone have a great day and a good start to the week!

Good morning! 57˚F cloudy. While all the other clubs require groups of people, which have beed suspended, the Garden club produces food and has an exemption. One stipulation is we don't work in groups. No problem when I drive the tractor. But this morning, if the rain holds off, we are being called for more trail building, it's a weird time so maybe they are splitting into rotating groups and spreading out.

Waiting till tomorrow to get groceries for Mom, hope they have some things restocked. She will at least get a big bag of greens from my garden.

With the new CDC 50 recommendation for 8 weeks there is going to be a lot of cabin fever around here but not me I have JD. (there is a song here someplace.)

No cards tonight, of course, might have to find an app that plays hand and foot with David. The small groups in the neighborhood have also been suspended and walkers are giving Whipper a 6' clearance.

A little thunder and lightning last night around 2 a.m. and this morning my rain gauge had about 1.74" in it, which is just about the same as the Denton Airport. 52 degrees for a low and going for a high of 64 with more rain later. Denton County reports its first "presumptive" case of the coronavirus. Some churches, including our older daughter's church are canceling services, but can be watched on the Internet.

My wife and I have routine physicals scheduled a week from now with our primary care physician, and later next week I have an appointment for a little dental work. Don't know yet whether such things will be cancelled or not.

Have you ever looked into "Good RX" and "Blink Health"?

Good savings on prescriptions.

A couple of upper level clouds, but a sunny 17ºF for today’s low requiring extra layers of clothes for this AM’s walk. A sunny 23ºF presently, and I anticipate a mostly sunny afternoon in the upper 30ºF’s with some upper level clouds moving in as the next weather system approaches. Even with the morning temps there was still moving surface water from the subsurface springs.

Bruce- Thanks and HAL thanks you too. Just out of curiosity I “floated” the concept of getting a technologically advanced drone to add to the hangar. The response was worse than anticipated . so with that created cognitive diversion I “floated” the concept of buying a fancy used technologically advanced camera……… That was a rather poor clinical decision on my part. I think it will be in my best interests to avoid “floating” anything at this point or I may end up floating in some waterway somewhere.

Bill- Thanks for the feedback on the fabric shelter. Now is not the time to discuss a structure with the CFO/SWMBO

Happy Birthday Phil, I wish you many more in health and happiness. I hope that your birthday exceeds your expectations.

Eric- I noticed the lack of contrails, etc. the past few days. It reminds me of post 911 skies

Drew- Wifey’s reaction to renewing food and booze home deliveries was surprisingly quiet.

RNG- Nice pics. Thanks for sharing.

Randy and Ted- I believe it is prudent to reduce exposure risks. I am surprised my Wife’s scheduled mammogram was not cancelled like my dental exam.

Don- Awesome and Thanks for sharing.

I hope that everyone is having a decent day.

My + thoughts, wishes, and prayers.

We went to church yesterday, but the place was half full and I think they are leaning to canceling live services in lieu of live streaming, which is available anyway. I probably won稚 go to the building anymore until this passes over. We can mail the offering or do it online.

Rick, yes, have GoodRX and that's how my prescription cost 23 bucks at Walmart, who took the card, and CVS at 75 that didn't.

back home from my trips, washed up carefully, happy to be home
neither Walmart nor food store very busy this morning.

18F here this morning.. with school closed from March 17-April 27, we decided grand daughter should stay home today also.. she has a persistent cough that could cause someone concern that doesn't know her. Teacher was going to hand out some packets, but also email some things. Schools all closed down, bars closed, restaurants closed for eating in.. they can still do take out or deliveries for now.

I see the stock market tanked again this morning.. big money is going to make some $$ with these big swings.

Livestream from church service was hard to hear yesterday.. I think they are not connecting pulpit mic so camera is picking up sound from room.. hopefully they get it fixed for next week.. seems we will be in this mode for a few more weeks at least.

Stay safe, prayers for all!

"..... I see the stock market tanked again this morning.. big money is going to make some $$ with these big swings."- Hawkeye

I agree.

Apparently those two brothers who bought 17700 containers of hand sanitizer and 1000's of surgical face masks in hopes of "profiting" from the hysteria are now under investigation.

I believe that all possible incidents of profiteers, profiteering and price gouging should be investigated with legal consequences which also includes BIG $.

Good stuff Don

Jbrumberg agreed profiteering in times of crisis should result in guilty ones being hung by their toe nails

Maybe we should follow the solution as did the French Revolutionaries' 0% tolerance policy.

 

[buckeyefarmer]

I started to work, started feeling light headed, so came back home. My boss just sent me email saying it was good. Working on python scripts now.

I did stop at food lion when I turned around. They had hand sanitizer, limit 2 so I got 2. We had none at home. I’m keeping one in the car.

No milk or eggs, did get donuts, OJ, and a loaf of bread. Very little bread. Nothing in TP aisle .

My college son is working on homework.

Saw a tree guy up on a pine tree cutting limbs off as he went up, when I came back by a little later it was a 20’ high stump, half the tree laying on ground and all limbs chipped already.
