  1. That first foul was total crap.
  2. So, not only is Galloway not starting, he isn't even playing. That's disappointing.
  3. I have to think that a year and a half of online classes has changed some peopleā€™s thought process towards ā€œattending classā€
  4. Did you listen to the podcast? Some of the studies done are criminal.
  5. Here is an interview with an ER doctor regarding HCQ. Itā€™s about an hour long, but worth it. TMR 246 : Dr. Simone Gold : On the Politicisation of HCQ I think the reality is that HCQ and zinc is the cure but big pharma canā€™t make any money on that.
  6. I understand there to be a priority system in place. I found out tonight that we are getting 6 of our usual 8 seats. Weā€™ve been getting tickets every year since 1969, so I think we have a high priority number. Iā€™m not sure though, my brother takes care of the tickets for the family.
  7. Put me in group 3.75. I use hand sanitizer sometimes and I only wear a mask to get into Costco. Iā€™d be closer to 4, but all the actual bars at the bars are not allowed to be open, so I canā€™t belly up to any yet.
  8. The last time I was attempting to summit Torreys peak (a 14,000 ft peak in Colorado) via the Kelso ridge (a class 3 climb) there were two helicopters searching for a missing hiker. They found him the next day dead, not 100 yards from the trail I would have been on had I continued up. It was July and the snow was still so deep last summer that my nephew and I ended up turning back about a half mile from the summit. let people know indeed...
  9. Yeah, my brother is finishing all that up. I only had 1 week there for us to get all the major work done. None of the downspouts were reattached when I had to leave Sunday morning.
  10. Some pics of the project. It turned out looking pretty good.
  11. So what? I have basically stayed out of this whole debate because Iā€™ve been working long hours and havenā€™t had time to do anything but read here occasionally. What I see is a country that is being destroyed. Iā€™m so tired of the arguments for keeping everybody locked up, until when? Seriously, if you are that damn worried stay at home. Let me decide if I want to take the risk of living my life. There will not be a workable vaccine for this virus anytime soon. If they do come out with an RNA vaccine in the next two years, there is no way in hell I will allow anyone in my family to get it (look into RNA vaccines and the ferret studies). Keep your immune system strong (eat healthy, take vitamins C and D3) and be sensible interacting with other people (wash up, wear a mask if you need to). Most importantly pray. Individual responsibility seems to be lost in todayā€™s world, just let me be responsible fo myself and my family.
  12. We are replicating part of what exists. Not putting shake back on, I kinda hate shake shingles. We are putting Hardie board on, easier to install, looks nice and lasts longer.
  13. I finished the car wash project last Friday and decided to come to Indy to see my parents for a week before starting a new job. The day before I came out here a got this picture from my brother (who lives in Indy as well). The south end of the house had significant termite damage. It looks like the previous owner noticed a problem and put traps/poison to kill the termites, but didnā€™t fix the damage. We had to jack up the end of the house to replace the footer boards. It turns out that back in the 40ā€™s when this house was built they didnā€™t have regulations requiring insulation. There is no insulation on the outside of the house at all. We got the footers replaced, insulation put in and backer board with sealing tape done by the end of the day yesterday. Today we start putting siding on ... and itā€™s raining. I hope we can get this done before I need to leave for Denver on Saturday. So, what was supposed to be a nice relaxing visit with family has turned into a weeklong project fixing my parents house. The issue now is that all the siding will need to be replaced and insulation put in before the winter comes, I just canā€™t believe they didnā€™t insulate the house at all. I may hire someone to do the rest of the house.
  14. Iā€™ve been camping my whole life. I never really got into hunting and Iā€™ve only really fished when I was in the boundary waters and the alternative to eating fresh fish was freeze dried meals. Now I climb mountains. This is my favorite ā€œfeet on the beachā€ pic (taking a break on my way up Torreys peak).
  15. Iā€™m no health nut, but I quit drinking pop, and switched to water, about twelve years ago because I was close to bankruptcy and didnā€™t have any money. After a while I realized that whenever I did drink pop it was disgustingly sweet. I started limiting my caffeine intake because I was having problems with my gut whenever I drank coffee. Now I mostly just drink either water or beer and donā€™t eat candy. I donā€™t really watch what I eat, but I rarely eat a lot at any meal and I walk the dog at least 2 miles almost every night. I have a real skeptical attitude towards the medical industry these days. Our society has been told for decades that drugs will fix the problem. Then they make drugs to fix problems instead of finding the underlying reason for the problem. If you have a headache, take an aspirin, donā€™t think about why your head hurts. It could simply be that you are dehydrated and need water, which means the water you drink to wash down the aspirin is doing more good than the aspirin itself. The media will not say anything that goes against the established narrative because the pharmaceutical companies pay the bills with advertising.
  16. As I said, I was told that vitamin D3 is the key that unlocks the cytokine and allows it to do its job. If there is not enough D3 then the cytokines build up and become destructive. I am no expert, Iā€™m just parroting what I was told.
  17. Here is how it was explained to me, at least this is what I took away from the conversation. When the body detects a need for an immune response, it creates cytokines and sends them out to destroy the problem. Vitamin D3 is the key that unlocks the cytokines, if there is not enough D3 then the cytokines canā€™t do their job. As the body continues to see a problem, it keeps creating and sending cytokines, which still cannot be unlocked. This hyperactive immune response creates what is called a cytokine storm. This creates all kinds of inflammation problems and in the case Covid-19 can severely damage the lungs which can cause respiratory problems and death. The moral of the story is to keep your D3 levels high so your immune system can do its job. I have been blessed with fairly good weather here in Colorado since this whole thing started, so I have spent a great portion of my time at work out in the sun. Easy to do when you run a job site building a car wash. Iā€™ve also been take 4-6,000 mg of vitamin C every day and forcing myself to get good sleep. I quit eating sugar a few years ago, but thatā€™s another story completely.
  18. The Steak ā€˜n Shake by Park Meadows mall actually closed before this mess started. I used to go there a lot whenever I worked on the south side of Denver. I read where the franchisee had been battling with corporate over mandated pricing issues. I was bummed when I learned they were closed.
  19. My safety is my responsibility all the time. I can make my own decisions, I donā€™t want the government telling me what is safe for me. I just donā€™t trust them.
  20. Bosch season 6 dropped last weekend on Amazon. This is a great show based on books by Michael Connelly. The books are excellent as is the show.
  21. Denver started doing that last week. One of the area highways is blocked down to one lane each direction from four. Itā€™s terribly annoying to those of us who still have to go to work, but thatā€™s the smartest thing to do right now. It works to get these projects done earlier and keeps people from driving. Win- win.
