You're a wise man Robert.

I am recovering from COVID, and scotch is great for taking the litany of pills the doctors want to put you on.

too much covid around here. just back from a trip to Seattle (from Boston), almost nobody masked besides me.
e
Unless you are wearing a properly fitting N95 mask with eye protection and have no open wounds, technically, you are not protected.
m
In my case my housemate brought it home from a running event he went to. By the time he found out someone had gotten COVID, I was already infected. WEEEEEE.
d
N95, decently fitting but probably not airtight, no open wounds I'm aware of. No eye protection, never seen anyone wearing anything that looked like that. But it's not black and white, more protected is more protected, even if not Fully Protected, whatever that actually means. I'm old, sole breadwinner, trying not to die sooner than I have to.

Just ordered up one of these from Amazon 😛

My thing is masks are used improperly, use the wrong kind of mask, reuse masks, do not wear eye protection, believe that 6 feet is enough, etc.
lol, at the begining of the pandemic you could have sold that for 6 figures.

Well don't y'all get too excited vying for my position, I don't think this is gonna kill me quite yet. Anyhow, I did the Odin thing and I know I'll be killed by an Orangutan riding a Quad in Australia while wearing a tuxedo. So I'm good here for now. 😛

I literally just started the process of buying a new bike last night too lol
I gotta wait till this virus clears though. BOO. 😞
e
Im sure the sales person will happily hold your order.

haha oh yeah, he's the manager of the whole place, known him for years. he was super excited I was finally ready to pick up another bike. Gave me a killer deal on it. He's set it aside. 🙂
Getting a G310gs and gonna do a little Scumbler conversion to it, like this but dirty and on the cheap haha
e
NIce crossover? Looks like a crossover.
m
Yeah, kind of a scrambler. Kind of a dirt bike. Kind of... a bunch of stuff. Its a zip around kind of bike, very small output, almost a scooter. But great build quality, reliable as heck, decent hp for the size, long maint windows.

Doing ok. Exhaustion comes and goes. The meds are working, but man it is rough love. All I taste is BITTER at all times. But it definitely is kicking COVID's butt in my system, I'm already feeling better than my housemate, who's had it several days longer than I (but can't take Paxlovid due to his age)

Get well. I've had it a few times, and there is no surefire cure and the recovery period can take months to get back to normal.

Fantastic. My friend owns a bottle shop 5 minutes from my house, so I just go and get stuff from him lol. But if I ever move someplace too far to do that, I'll definitely look into this. Love it.
