Yeah....fuk politics. Playing political games while people were dying pretty much wrecked my opinion of a great many people. But enough about that.

This is pretty much exactly what I have found in my studies too Tor....and I've dug as deep as possible. The Chinese wanted state of the art labs to study viruses....but they didn't have well trained people to work in them. They built them anyway. Safety protocols were not followed as well as they should have been, and it is highly likely that this virus escaped. Now we have to live with it.

i say anyone who has connections to that place needs put in front of a firing squad or put through a slow painful death
doesnt matter if they worked there
or if they sent money to fund the place

seize every *frenching dime they have and terminate them

Yep, they had lousy security procedures. But it has become somewhat common, when we are not allowed to do the same experiments "at home" we go to another nation that has less scruples and have it done there.
Had they been tough and humble enough, the pandemic would have stopped in Wuhan with the transportation system the Chinese usually use from Wuhan to the usual places of travel.
The Chinese were interested in saving face as usual, the US was not interested in saying we funded this, while the WHO was corrupt as only they can be.

The rest, the common man in the street, you, me, etc, we paid the price.

PS, there are similar labs, several in the US, in the UK, in Asia, in Europe.

Howdy Folks! It was a full day of running for me. Went and bid a couple of jobs, acquired a new olive harvesting system and went and checked some potential olive fields. I'm hoping to get a hold of some new trees that we rent for 5-10 years.

With the rain happening here at any time now, it’s a garage work day. I recently acquired a table saw, planer, and miter saw from my Grandpa’s estate, now that he moved into assisted living. First project: turning this band mill cut cedar into lumber I can use to make a replacement bench/buddy seat in the skidder. The original bench has seen better days..

I haven’t worked with wood much since high school shop classes, with the exception of a coat hook or 2, or simple stuff like that. I always enjoyed working with wood, and now having these power tools, I feel this is going to be a wonderful way to use those skills again and save some $$ in the process.

I have had a hell of a time getting any of the snow removal people to even return a call much less come out and give me an estimate on keeping the driveway cleared this winter

There are signs tacked on every other power pole so you would think they actually might want to work but apparently not

After one too many "maybe I can get out there by late October and maybe give you a price" I said fukk it and decided to go DIY

I did my research and came up with this

Lowes dropped it off yesterday

IMG_4121.jpegIMG_4115.jpeg

We ran into the same crap with everything we needed to have done for the new house, window blinds, fencing, landscaping, dirt work, etc

I would make 7-8 calls or web contacts, I might get 2-3 responses, and maybe 1-2 would actually show up for an appointment THEY made to get info to give us an estimate

I am sick to death of people *b-wording about the economy, no work, underpaid, etc when there are companies on the verge of going under either from lack of help or just piss poor business practices

I just don't get it

I guess we need to figure out a way for millenials to build fences and do landscaping from home in their pajamas with a laptop...

Done

You bought a great snowblower. Those Ariens Deluxe models are top of the line, built solid, and are easy to use. I own an Ariens Deluxe 24” myself. At a store I worked at in my 20’s, we sold Toro and Ariens. Toro started implementing more plastic into their designs (chutes, controls, etc) while Ariens kept everything steel. At below 0F temps, I don’t want plastic breaking when I need the machine to do its job.
