Subj : Re: flood stuff was: Vacation To : Barry Martin From : Nancy Backus Date : Fri Jun 05 2020 18:18:08 -=> Quoting Barry Martin to Nancy Backus on 27-May-2020 09:46 <=- BM>> Hopefully not with toilet paper -- don't want the shortage to last! BM>> Did 'have' to go up the paper goods aisle during yesterday's shopping BM>> -- supply looked pretty good -- still not at full stock but definitely BM>> not almost bare like several weeks ago. Still signage for limit of BM>> one. NB>> The limits probably do help maintain the reasonable supply... :) BM> Probably, and unless buying for a family of ten with diarrhea one BM> doesn't need more than one multi-pack at a time. And one could always get the 20-pack or the 36-pack (depending on the store)... ;) BM>>> True -- to me would make more sense to clean after the day's route BM>>> than to leave it overnight to 'fester'. Personally I'd probably do a BM>>> touch-up job before starting my route: wipe the steering wheel and BM>>> control handles but more of a dusting as opposed to a deep cleaning. NB>>> Besides, if you were the last one in the truck the night before, how NB>>> would it have picked up any viruses overnight after your deep clean...? BM>> There is a possibility: virus hitchhiking on a breeze from opening the BM>> garage door or maybe even the heating system. So I'm thinking a BM>> thorough cleaning when returning -- probably somehow isolated from the BM>> parking lot where the other trucks have been cleaned -- and a touch-up BM>> in the morning. NB>> Not that the touch-up is a bad thing, but I think the hitchhiking NB>> viruses aren't all that likely.... BM> I'm thinking also not too likely. Still, because of the high level BM> of unknown about COVID-19 it seems the better safe than sorry rule BM> applies. There's been probably more than enough of that better safe than sorry reasoning, though.... NB>> We had a little rain, but nothing all that significant.... and NB>> currently are having abnormally hot weather... the record for today NB>> is 90ø, and there's a good chance we could meet or beat that... much NB>> too hot for May... another couple of days in the 80s BM> Bleah!! on the 90ø! Supposed to get into the low 80's today -- past BM> few days has gotten into the upper 80's which was too hot too suddenly. As I said in earlier messages, we did break that record, with 92ø, then another 90 degree day, and then a couple more in the high 80s before becoming unseasonably cool for a few days, in the 60s... Now we're back in the mid-80s for a couple of days... tomorrow is supposed to be only mid 70s, and Sunday only 66ø... but I'd rather that than the heat... BM> Week out forecast for 70's, but potentially rainy, which isn't helping BM> with getting the roof replaced, etc. Has the weather permitted your repairs yet...? BM> BM>>>> And there are reasons to want the weaker repeater station: a while BM>>>> back something happened and Channel 4 (the main station) was on but no BM>>>> data: the carrier was there but no audio nor video. The repeater BM>>>> station at Channel 47 was broadcasting properly. NB>>>> Yes... at that point, you'd want the option to choose the working NB>>>> station, for sure.... :) BM>>> It does make watching the show more entertaining! NB>>> To say nothing of not being a waste of time.... ;) Better to have the NB>>> options available... :) BM>> Generally yes. :) NB>> Unless one really doesn't care about whether or not one sees the NB>> program... :) BM> For you, egh; for me, sometimes an odd-ball form for entertainment! True... :) ttyl neb .... A program is used to turn data into error messages. --- EzyBlueWave V3.00 01FB001F * Origin: Tiny's BBS - http://www.tinysbbs.com (454:1/452) .
