Like you Columbia River, I’m WANTING to go and do…..but still not producing any sustainable energy.  Tonite tho….felt just a little bit like ….normal?  Hope so cuz have family visiting this weekend that I haven’t seen in decades.  If they can get thru the Midwest flooding.  That. Is. SOOOO bad!  Buy your grain/flour/legumes now.  Too much of our nation’s bread basket is under water BEFORE the snowmelt season begins.  They’re losing a lot of grain as the round bins are shoved with the floodwaters.  I re-tarred the bottom edge [where the metal meets the cement platform] of those bins on our farm every spring.  Cuz they’ll leak and cause rot if you don’t.  High winds or flood waters can case same motion to crack the seal….

I did an experiment with re-using my N95 masks.  UNDERSTAND….you’d NEVER do this if you used masks to keep out bacteria/virus from disease.  But for me, I’m too sensitive to particulate matter in bronchial tubes.  So I’ve used these for our area’s persistent DUST.  [sometimes wildfire smoke]   Well these N95’s have the exhalation valves…..or I nearly black out trying to get enough air while I’m working and moving.  Means they cost more $$…..so if I can wash them clean of dust …enough to use again I save!  Well, it worked really well.  They’re cup shaped and dried just fine.  I’ll do same with at least two others and save $$.  Right now….nary a dust mote floating out there with all this melting snow and soggy ground.  😀  Suits me fine.
