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.
