Displaced Texan

Just discussed this with Mrs Tex.... She already knew about these areas and we won’t be in them. Told me to STFU, that I need a vacation, and she’s got this handled. I trust her judgement, and I’m smart enough to know when not to argue with her...so I’ll STFU.

Tell me more, please. My wife booked this trip, and I know very little about it. Not sure if the area we are staying. I know it’s an AirBnB in a nice condo on the beach. I don’t know WHICH beach. She normally researches the hell out of out vacations...but it’s not a bad idea to know more...

I’m not doing much other than toes in sand, drink in hand. Been a shitty year, just need to relax.

That’s part of what we are thinking.

We are flying to the USVI...I’m not worried about catching anything. We are wondering about screening...if there’s any at all.

Gotcha. I did not know this. I seem to remember that it wasn’t legal to pass this fee on to customers. Guess I’m mistaken.

I didn’t think that was legal...

Isn’t she some pop singer?

Switch to Sanka, my friend....Quit overthinking this. Oh......and have a good one!

Nope. Not mine...too rich for my blood. That’s a turbine powered helicopter.

Dude, please, leash your crank.

Yesterday, Mrs Tex told me that her boss asked her to order a bottle of hand sanitizer for everyone in her office. She found that Amazon only had case lots available, from 3rd party sellers, and exorbitant prices. Like $200 for a case of 8 small bottles. I need to figure out how to make my own and sell it!! Lol

‘ Crank walk’ can cause odd flywheel failures, but I’ve never seen that one. Although I don’t tear apart many engines these days.

I should have clarified a bit more. I’m aware they use cast iron for crankshafts. Maybe it’s just the way the pic is taken, but that looks like cast aluminum...and poorly cast at that. Again, may be a trick of the light. However, that should not fail in that manner.

Is that cast metal? For a flywheel??

Hot water?? I think blue, shit filled water is more like it!

Or nab a rabbit out of your own backyard. I’ve got a ton of them that live in my yard...

It ain’t time to make a beeline for the bunker. 60-ish cases in the USA, and one fatality. HE is correct, you should already have food/water/hygiene preps in place for ANY disaster. COV-19 shouldn’t make that much of a difference in how you stay ready. Take NORMAL flu precautions...wash your hands, and practice good sanitary/hygiene. It ain’t Ebola, keep your wits about you, and don’t be taken in by the hype. Keep your head out of your ass. Panic is your enemy...and so are those who are trying to make you panic.

Fisher cats are rarely seen. My stepmom and dad (god rest his soul) caught one briefly on a Blink Camera in the Live Oak tree on their deck. He’s quick! IMG_4035.MP4

What my dog thinks she was bred for, and what my dog actually does...

Tactical wiener dawg at parade rest.

2 Blink cameras work just fine. It’s fun watching her go on patrol. Little dachshund...she acts tough while she roams the house. It’s a hoot!

Since we put a Blink camera on her, we discovered she patrols the house all day!
