Thanks Don, Ken and others.
our local CVS seems overwhelmed in normal situations, has terrible online ratings, can't imagine this working out well.
So did the CVS in Washington NC, and every time you find a nice local drugstore, they either aren't a preferred provider and therefore
your copays are higher or the whole place gets bought out by CVS or Wahlgreens.
I question how they are going to manage this to avoid a concentration of sick people in one small place usually back in the far corner
of the store.

Good afternoon! 33 and drizzling out. Another gloomy day.

Had 1st follow up appointment today. More blood work. Definitely not going to be back into work until February. As far as working from home, doctor said 杜ake sure you are ready and if they have a problem with it, call me? So looks like I am gonna be off for a while.

Drew, I would hope the people that are getting the shot are healthy. I wouldn稚 think they would be letting them in for the vaccination if they are sick

Friend from Phoenix area called yesterday to see how I was doing. He disclosed he was part of Pfizer痴 test of the vaccine and actually received his shot in May. No issues to date.

Need to get the wood burner cleaned and back up and running. That will be my project this afternoon

Everyone stay safe out there.

34F and cloudy @ 14:00, headed up to a high 36F for the day. Essentially same forecast for the next 4 days, then the possibility of some sun for the 4 days after that.

Refill squirrel and ear of corn feeders, cracked corn on ground for doves and others.

Need to go down and renew registration on van.

Beyond that, not sure exactly what all we'll get into today.

Hope everyone has an enjoyable, productive, and safe day ... :thumbsup:

Yes, but....
I read that 55% of covid transmission is done from an asymptomatic donor. No symptoms. No fever. No problems getting through door checks.
so if every other person that shows up negative could actually be positive and not know it, I think that would suggest safety is not
getting bunched up inside, whether it be in a restaurant or the drugstore waiting area. Too bad they can't do it in a drive thru like the tests.
But I think you have to sit and wait for 15 minutes (?) to see if any reaction. And if inside, that's 15 more minutes of bad air to breathe.

It is my hope that they will set up drive through vaccination centers. The best hope to do the most good is if they can vaccinate a lot of people fairly quickly. I think they actually need to vaccinate a lot of people world wide or risk the darned junk mutating.

The Woman just called friend/neighbor lady to see if she wanted to go over to Kohl's with her.

No way.

This individual is a former nurse, who still works in the healthcare field.

You go over to her house and she is in a mask ... and a full face shield ... :thumbsup:

It is my hope that they will set up drive through vaccination centers.

My Brother just went through a drive-up vaccination center and received his covid19 vaccine. After he got his vaccine he had to go to and adjacent parking lot and wait 15 minutes to make sure he did not get any adverse reactions.

Good morning, back to work for me, 32 going up to 45 and cloudy. Not supposed to rain for a while.

LS - that cloud picture is amazing.

Roy - hope your new boss is good to work with and makes the transition smooth for you

Phil - same issue with LEDs , incandescents used to last 5 years or more, the compact florescents came out and incandescent and CFL only started lasting 2 years.:confused3: LEDs seem to start failing at 3 years - LED chip is fine, circuit board seems to fail.

Drew - Wife works for a school, told around March - PA seems to be running behind other states. Don't have much other info, nurse friend got hers last week. Will see what I can find out.

Thanks BEF - guess I will just take VHS tape somewhere to convert. Had converted all my digital tapes way back when and put them and pics on a PLex/vortex server. Waiting for some SATA disk to come so I can set up a NAS to have some redundancy on our pics/movies and other often accessed data.

Work is going to be crazy with a cross US project I am rolling out in the next two weeks. Starts tomorrow-should be wonderfully nerve racking.

Stay safe and be well

If you have a working VHS deck, you can hook up a capture card ($10 on Amazon) hit play and capture on your computer.

Do not miss this. Because there is a penalty for not getting it when you are 65.
.

No reason for a penalty, other than another money grab.

All this SSA talk made me go online and look. I get $2222 a month at 62. Don’t understand the WEP stuff. I had no SS paid on my first 5 or 6 years of work, then paid SS ever since.

It’s all confusing.

I just looked at my SS, difference from 62 to to 67 is quite large for me. Something to think about.
WEP just reduces your monthlies if you have a pension, my father had to go through this. Different if you pay tax on pension vs. a no-tax (like in PA)
If there is one thing the government is good at it is making things so complex that no 2 people give you the same answer.

BEF , no VHS player- figure even if it cost me 30-50$ would still be less than VCR and capture card. Thanks for the advice, thought about a converter and VCR , but didn't want more electronics taking up space.
