To boost our spirits while at home I thought a little line dried laundry might do the trick. Scents can influence a person's mood a great deal.
Fighting virus boredom.

It's been a couple of weeks since we had a warm and sunny spell that facilitated line drying, otherwise my fleece sheets would be on hanging outside right now instead of tumbling in the gas-fired Neptune.
People around here are putting holiday lights up again, and even lawn decorations. Whatever floats your boat, I guess, but I'm not on board. Others are placing a single lamp in a front window. That's a compromise I can support.

well the CDC recommends that we wash clothes in the hottest water possible, mainly 140 degrees minimum and dry clothes in the dryer...for at least 28 minutes on high...
but I am game for hanging them outside, especially bed linens....
to kill boredom, or past the time away, I am washing in the wringer....
@Ralph, I am on board with your lamp....but prefer something a bit more manly

they said wearing a mask and gloves were enough to go to the grocery store....
they lied, everybody else had clothes on!

Martin, lol. I'm sorry I missed th4e beef and sausage in the aisles around your store.
Yogi, if this goes on much longer we may be going to the store in a mask and gloves. Tommie the Wolfman decided to close "nonessential businesses" and on his list, anything to do with yarn, fabric, textiles, or clothing is totally shut down. He even closed laundromats until people objected and just reopened them. We will eventually have no clothes? I mean, it's still cold here!
I'm sorry, did I roll my eyes out loud!
again, why one does not ingest when they have the chance is beyond me....either choice results with indigestion!
Turbocharging, the act of compressing a lot of dense air into such a tiny chamber.....yet the wastegate just blows it out the exhaust....

So where all the aliens and space ships??? Why are they not coming to help us??? So are not we part of their experiment, or maybe we are and this is a test for us. lmfao Have to keep some humor in all of this. Besides all this crap we are getting 2-5 inches of snow tomorrow. So much fun.

Alien Anal Probe....testing for the Corona Virus...
oh you are so correct....why do you think the Aliens do a probe in the ass, well for one, thats where a number of people keep their head...and two, if they did a hemorrhoid exam, they would find a brain tumor...

all funny! Would a Toyota Corona sell well now?

Toyota made a Corona?
do you have a pic of one?...

Toyota Corona was a step above Corolla. A friend in HS had a fancy Corona Mark II.
The Corona was the first model Toyota sold in the US. David owned a 1972 Corona for a very brief time. It was a really nice car, seemed almost luxurious to the 71’ Maverick that we also had.
The Corona had pretty good power for a 4 cyl, at the time. We only owned it for about a month, then the timing chain broke. David only bought to to commute to Marin Co. for a USPS job, that he later quit. It was the only time we ever owned two cars at once.
Toyota during the 70’s sold three different models here, the entry level Corolla, the mid range Carina and the of the line Corona.

Ach Mein Gott In Himmel
and please excuse my surely incorrect spelling of this German phrase.
Since I injured my right leg last Tuesday I’ve been unable to take my daily 45 to 60 min,walk, and I feel like a caged animal. Those daily walks are my stress reliever, and boy do I need them now. This sprain is one of the very worst I’ve ever had. Twice, in the past I’ve had my leg in a cast for 4 to 6 weeks with an injury just like this one. But theres is no way I’m going to Kaiser now. Fortunately, I’ve plenty of experience in taking care of an injury like this one, and if these were normal times I’d have gone to the doctor.
I immediately applied ice after the injury, and elevated it. My whole calf filled with blood and drained down to my foot, the swelling was very bad. I’m certain that the Prednisone I was taking to clear up the hearing loss in my right ear was the cause for the excessive internal bleeding, and probably contributed to the sprain in the first place.
Thankfully, everyday its been getting better. Today is the best so far, the bruising and swelling are beginning to diminish and I hope to be able to take short walk either this afternoon or tomorrow. I’ve managed the pain with Salonpas and Tylenol, even though we have lots of Opioid meds from previous dental procedures and my hip replacements. I refuse to add insult to injury and get a case of terminal constipation on top of everything else. Last night I switched to aspirin, since the bruising is subsiding and its really helped to reduce the swelling.
At least the Prednisone helped my ear, and I don’t think I’m going to loss the hearing in that ear. And thank God I finished the 10 day course of Prednisone, I’m NOT taking anymore of it!
Just like Nana Roseanna Dana says, “It’s always sump-tin”.
Hope all the rest of you out there are doing OK.

1968 Toyota Corona ....
I was working on a neighbors house when his ex-wife died. She had a '68 Corona and the husband came along and asked me if I wanted it. After looking it over, and seeing it only had 18K miles on it, I said sure! That was in 1991. I cleaned the car up and it looked almost brand new. Driving around SoCal at that time I got so much attention in that little car, and people always wanting to look at it. I wasn't that impressed though. It had a 2 speed automatic in it and at 55 mph the engine was taching at 4300 rpm. The car was great in town, but on the open freeway, OMG. IIRC, 61 mph was wide open and it sounded like it was going to grenade at any moment. I turned around and sold it after 8 months and had a Toyota collector buy the car. He loved it!

Social distancing
is getting to me a bit. I miss the gym. We're working out at home, and walking a lot. Social media does help some.

‘68 Corona: My 4th grade teacher had one! It was brand new at the time. She gave me a ride home after school once and I thought it was a very cool, exotic car. Had forgotten all about them.
Eddie- I am with you in your dislike of Prednisone. Makes me jittery and cranky. Take care and hopefully your leg will allow you to get out for walks before long. Good thing you are an edibles chef, LOL!
Battling COVID-19 Boredom: Cooking, reading, watching vintage TV series on YouTube (am in the middle of a run through the Burns & Allen Show) & listening to various groups’ albums in chronological order.

Thanks Eugene! Today my leg is better, and has been improving for the last two days. I hope to take a short walk this afternoon with David. I have to say that on Sunday I was kind of worried about it, and hoped that I did the right thing by avoiding going to Kaiser. But the color and circulation is improving and the swelling has gone down to close the what my leg normally is like.
As for the edibles, I’m rationing them right now. Normally a have one in the afternoon and one in the evening. I don’t know if its a good idea to go in to the Ye Olde Pot Shoppe right now if I can help it, its usually pretty crowded, and my guess is that everyones hoarding pot now too.
Luckily my last batch was very potent, got some really good indica bud, so I’m only eating one thumb sized square about a 1/2 hr. before dinner and it does the trick. I have my process very well refined and the last batch worked out to 30mg of THC per square and each batch makes 64 doses.
Tomorrow we’ll make a swift visit to Target and get some things to carry us thru the next 2 weeks. I hope that I can get at least 5 lbs.of flour.
Actually, if I hadn’t injured my leg and could have gone on my daily 45 to 60 min walks this social distancing and staying home wouldn’t have been as difficult. We stay home most of the time anyway. And having grown up in a home with parents that went thru the Depression, I’ve always had non perishable staples on hand to last at least a few weeks in an emergency. But I have to say the uncertainty of not knowing if it will be safe to venture out to a store or anywhere for that matter in a few weeks when I expect the peak to hit here is troubling. This too shall pass, but not soon enough!
Eugene and everyone out there please stay safe!

Eddie, I have found that striking a balance with a CBD and THC combination can be very effective, and when I get it right, I feel awake and alert as opposed to doped up, as it were. I don't use this formula on a regular basis, so I buy gummies of both to keep on hand to use on an as-needed basis. The wild cherry and sparkling pear "Camino" variety's flavors from Kiva Confections are really good!
Dispensaries around here are offering pick-up and delivery only, with sales floors closed. I've heard that waits are long, so I'm staying away for now.
I hope you feel better fast.

Thanks Ralph for your well wishes!
CDB doesn’t do jack for me, I need my THC and have a high tolerance. My edibles are worlds better than anything I’ve bought from the dispensary. I make my own canna butter and after some experience its not hard at all.
I’m glad you’ve found the combo of THC and CDB that works for you. In my opinion edibles are the best way to use cannabis. It’s much easier on the body than smoking and the effects are longer lasting and mellower, at least for me. And less expensive.
I can make 64 doses for about $95.00 for a 1/4 oz. of Indica with at least 26% THC. And my local dispensary does offer delivery, but its only a 15 min walk from my front door and if I order online its ready for pick up in the express line when I get there.
I’m so grateful that we can now legally buy pot in California. The tax is very high though, 29.5% in my town. My dispensary does give 10% senior discount, so that takes some of the sting out of the high tax.
Stay safe in San Jose my friend!

Hunkered down here in the NorCal corona epicenter!
Agreed that edibles are better than smoke for pain relief, and that smoke is infinitely safer than vaping for recreational use.
Now if the weather would just improve enough to get out and do some gardening! Maybe next week per the long range forecast.

Yey, Killed Two Birds With One Stone!
I just got back from a short walk to Walgreens, the first in 8 days, and my leg feels better having stepped up the circulation in the muscles. It’s only about 3/4 of mile round trip, but its a start, and I’m so happy that I’m seeing light at the end of the tunnel. Plan on walking further tomorrow. So good to feel the sunshine and breath fresh air! Very few cars out and gas has gone down to $3.159 per gal for reg unleaded.
Also, was able to get two 5 lb bags of flour, I’ll be set now for at least 3 weeks for flour! Also 2 cans of salmon enough for two nights of dinners, I’ll make some salmon patties, a box of saltines, 2 boxes of raisin bran, 3 cans of Campbells soup, some coffee, Sudafed, Claritin, over $66.00 with a $5.00 off coupon and my Walgreens card. Now will need to buy very little at Target tomorrow.
No hand sanitizer, and very few people into store. There were strips of tape on the floor to insure 6 feet distancing of customers. Shelves were sparsely stocked, no paper products, but we are OK in that dept.
Got back in the nick of time, we are having a pretty good downpour of rain now.
