Our inet connection has been out for a week
Our antenna failed. Fixed now.
I fear Mexico has a shit storm coming. The rumor that it is 'a rich folks' sickness will not go away.

I'm exercising, swimming, stationary biking -- I hurt like a bitch, but need to be more aggressive with my recovery/rehab efforts.
Seems like things may be stabilizing here in So Cal. It's been about a month of the two of us working from home now. Going great. Work remains busy, and hoping it stays that way.
We listen to music all the time anyway. Our old standard is 90's R&B, but we did have fun watching a playlist of 80's power ballads on YT. The wife really rocks out to some Heart.
The link didn't work. It just opens gmail.
Yes, I'm very glad for us and our guys that our clients' work is essential. The rain has affected us far more than the virus.
Nice to see that some are surviving, and hope that all continues to go well for you. They say that California is doing well in terms of handling the virus, but, I still see plenty of people disregarding the social distancing guidelines. However, I wonder about Mexico, as, it seems that the Mexican ideas about law and order are different than those of the USA, so, if there are some in the USA who are disobeying, how might it go in Mexico? Especially since the poor there are immune, so, they do not have to worry about any precautions?
I went five straight weeks without any shopping or direct social contacts, but, I finally ran out of food, and had to shop, like it or not. An old drag racer buddy, sent me one N95 face mask quite awhile ago and some disposable gloves, so, after some thinking, I decided that I would go to Costco during the 8-9 am special, Tues-Thurs hours for 60+ and disabled. I knew that it would be crowded, but, I have some favorite items that I always get at Costco, and, also, Costco generally sells in bulk, so, even with limits, one can get a larger quantity. In any case, the lines looked long at 7:20, as I got there early, and, there was a small amount of social distancing, but, not 6' worth, as the line doubled back on itself as it went to the end of the building and then made a u-turn, and the two lanes were about 3' apart at best. As everyone had a cart, there were cart lengths between the people in each line. But, it was not strict social distancing at all. However, although not all people had gloves, every single one had a face mask of some sort, with most being commercial surgical type masks, but not N95 spec. There were some homemade masks as well, and, it turned out that Costco was requiring a mask to get into the store, and also was telling people that they were required to keep masks on while in the store. All the Costco staff had masks and gloves, and registers had plexiglass separations between the cashiers and customers.
There was almost no social distancing in the store while shopping, which I assume was because of the universal mask requirement, as false as that might be as far as protection goes. I was surprised, as no one appeared the least bit paranoid, but, a person out of food has to do what they have to do, and I got what I could, although they were out of some things. It being Costco, all the shelves were full with some product, but, there were no paper towels or toilet paper or canned veggies than than corn, for some reason. I had to buy 10 pounds of fancy white onions and 10 pounds of expensive big baking potatoes to get some of each, but, what difference does the cost make in terms of convenience and in terms of the risks of going elsewhere? I spent over $400, and had a full cart, and now, I am good for weeks, if I did not contract the virus due to the lack of social distancing and the crowds, as even with supposed control of the number allowed in, and special hours, people were getting quite close to each other. There also was only one entry point to the checkouts, where a person directed you to a register, and that went very quickly at least. They also had shoppers hold out their Costco cards and they scanned them with a hand held scanner at the register to avoid any contact. So, Costco is trying to protect their employees, at least. I also saw a few total babes, and, it was amazing who good they looked for 60 and over, as I would have guessed around 30-35, max. But, perhaps they were disabled?
At least my car started up after sitting so long, and, the 30 mile round trip to Costco was a good run, although at first I almost could not drive, as I forgot how since us elderly sorts are senile, and dangerous drivers. And then, to compound things, on the way home the throttle stuck as few times, perhaps due to sitting so long, and I think I may have hit 100+ mph before it finally unstuck. Naturally I had to try it several times to test the issue, and it stuck each time. Scary, but, the nice little American V8 did sort of sound good. It turns out that if one does not drive their weak, imitation muscle car for a protracted length of time, the illusion that it is a real muscle car is more convincing, as it almost pushed me back in my seat as it seemed to rush to speed.
I'd rant more, but, I have a Costco roasted chicken to gnaw on, and some nice Kirkland crinkle potato chips to munch on.....
Glad to hear you're re-stocked on provisions, Pat. We have not been brave enough to revisit Costco since our last attempt a few weeks ago. When we saw people lined up outside, that was our cue to go to our local grocery store, then back home. The only items we buy from Costco pretty consistently are dog food and liquor. Luckily, we're still pretty well stocked on both.
