Sounds more like we might want to stop eating meat.
Or just cook it.

It can be the first symptom if she was infected in the eye first. Get it checked.
That's what I read. She did. Doc thinks it's just pink eye (until there are other symptoms). Fingers crossed, all the same.

You're a good man for doing that. What did you pay?
'bout tree-fiddy.
Nah, he said he paid $800.

So the wife (no pics, preverts) has pink eye. We're fairly sure (due to lack of fever, respiratory crap, cough, and the fact that we haven't been anywhere) that it's not covid induced. But that shit sucks nonetheless.

Looks like "Daphne Blue" might be close. Do I have to strip the old paint? Just prime over existing paint? Go buy a new body from Warmoth? (Don't answer that last question. This particular body is a cheapie and I'm willing to experiment.)
If it's a squire or something, good luck stripping that paint. I've got a partscaster with a classic vibe strat body. Previous owner tried to strip the finish. That stuff is thick and hard as a rock. Fortunately, they started on the back.

Every once in a while, I start thinking maybe I have too many tweed amps, and my eyes invariably get fixed on my Clark Penrose (5f4 Super Clone). The thing is an absolute work of art with no detail ignored. But I've never felt it just sing. In fact, I've had moments where I thought it was kind of dull sounding. Well, tonight, things changed. And it's been my fault. But I gave it a bit of a perfect storm tonight and it just sang!
I don't think the formula with this amp is any secret. Normal channel. Vol. at 4 or 5. Get the treble knob up over 6 (out of 12). From there, it becomes a grit knob. Bring in the bass, depending on the guitar. Then, dial in the presence. Also, for this run, I was using a Les Paul Traditional with the 59 tribute pickups. I think the combination of the humbuckers and getting that treble knob over half way was the trick. No more dull, sterile sound, feeling like I really have to dig in to feel it. I think it might even work with the tele afterall. Just needs more tone knobs.
Every one of these tweeds is a totally different animal as far as getting them dialed in.

Doing touch and goes at ABIA is usually not that difficult, even in normal times.
Probably a nice view at night though.
[CSB] I did my first night flight the night (CST) that Desert Storm air raids began. Got to do a touch and go at Hobby with a SWA jet holding short for me. Easiest landing ever. That runway was huge and lit up like the proverbial Christmas tree. [/CSB]

When you Google coronavirus testing near me it's all doc in a box ERs. Is that the same everywhere?
See my anecdotal post above about one person I knew not being able to be tested at a big hospital ER versus another I know getting tested at "Hospitality" ER. So, maybe.

The inertia I undergo on my daily j-turns would probably disqualify me. Sorry @C-Man (I kid, I kid). But if I don't rev match perfectly on every downshift, does it register as a hard stop. I got one of them cars with the man pedal.

Lots of questions in this thread, but very few answers.

Get one, for sure. But, two isn't any more difficult than one and will help with boredom if the dog will be alone for several hours at a time during the week.
I waited for 13 years to get another dog after I lost my golden to cancer. Since then, we have adopted (been gifted) two more. 3 is a handful, but no regrets.

There's neighbors you can talk to and there's neighbors you instinctively stay away from. It's a case by case basis when you have a complaint. I know all of the neighbors on my street and, as a result, let some of the minor bullshit slide. Thankfully, up to this point, it's all been minor bullshit these past 20 years.
The problem of a neighbor burning pressure treated pine in his fireplace will solve itself in the medium term.

I know of 3 people who have had symptoms and got tested. 2 neg and 1 pos.
Have not heard of folks in our area being refused testing. City pop of 200k.
I was really surprised to hear it. She had been really sick. She's a single mom. I suppose she could have gotten tested by driving all over the place like she was looking for toilet paper. But I was not sure how she got someone to drive her to the ER in the first place (only other person in the house is her 14 year old daughter).
This is in Tyler TX. So not a huge population, but a city with a lot of hospitals per capita (60%+ of the economy here is medical). UT System hospital. Christus system hospital. Baylor Scott & White. MD Anderson branch.
So, yeah, I found it surprising. I'm just glad she seems to have been on the mend.
That said, there are is drive through testing in Longview and Marshall, but not in Tyler.

As long as you aren’t FB Karen that wants a test because your dog has a runny nose, you can get a test if you need it. God forbid, it may take more than 10 minutes of your time, but you can get one. Saying you can’t is just a lie.
Had one of my kid's friend's mom (who my wife knows well) try to get a test. She had serious symptoms for over a week and was in some respiratory distress. She called the E.R. (either UT or Christus system) to let them know she was coming. She tested negative for flu. They would not test her. They got her stabilized, but would not admit her to the hospital. Sent her home. Took her another week to finally get to where she was feeling a bit better (I heard her over the phone and she sounded like hell). This was two weeks ago. We are not a huge metro area, but we are a city of over 100,000 with several hospitals including UT system.
Another story, my 5th grader's school principal tested positive. He went to one of those pop up ER's (the ones that insurance pretty much never covers). Got the test.
Anecdotal? Perhaps. Lie? Absolutely fucking not.

So Maeby the 13 month old Golden Lab Quarter Doodle pictured ad nauseum above decided to spend more time than usual outside during our late night family Skip Bo tournament last night. When she came back in, she was carrying a dead, baby opossum, which she laid at my wife's feet. The scream that followed was ear shattering. After we cleaned it up, I let her out of the kennel and told her how much my wife appreciated the gift.
Side story, Gracie the Schnoodle had this young opossum cornered earlier in the week, but wasn't doing more than barking at it.
I now know who the stone cold killer in our household is.

The Walmart i was at yesterday had about 80% of the morbidly obese patrons wearing a mask. I see them quite a bit. Part of why I think we’re going to be ok.
Did pick up last Wednesday at a WalMart grocery in a good part of town. Curbside was taking a bit longer than usual. I probably watched 100 people go into the store. Maybe 10--12 of them were wearing masks. Some appeared to be of lower means, i.e., maybe couldn't get a mask or some such. Most appeared to be complete dipshits that didn't give a damn. During this time, there were three apparently unrelated people that insisted upon standing in front of the exit, talking within one foot of one another, and repeatedly hugging one another.
I got my order, took it home, bleach wiped everything before bringing it inside, and decided this all was going to take a lot longer to resolve.

Schools need to open. I say that as a father of 3 kids with a stay at home wife- so if anyone is set up to fade schools being closed it’s me- this is not personal or selfish.
We need herd immunity- kids pass this shit around like crazy and don’t seem to be effected all that much by it. Send the little bastards to school so they can infect themselves and bring it back home and infect me and my wife and get this whole shindig over with.
By shindig, you mean life? If they had reopened schools, there's absolutely no way I was sending my kids back.
In other news, my 5th grader's elementary school principal tested positive for COVID19 a week or so ago. I suspect he got it while participating in the food pickup at the school. He is doing okay and recovering at home but he posted a video for the kids on the school's youtube channel (before we were told he had the rona) and he looked like hammered shit.

Do you have any experience with the Eminence or the Weber? Or just any thoughts on the two? As I mentioned above, I haven’t been able to decide between the two. I do like that the Weber can be custom ordered in different basket colors, dust caps and doping levels. But I’ve never heard either speaker in real life, only in videos.
I had the Weber 12F150 in my 73 DR for the better part of a year. It's a fine speaker. The only thing that replaced it was the vintage 1968 C12N that is in there now. The Weber is really robust and loud. Weber also offers free break in service. I have alnico Webers (or eminence by Weber) in all 5 of my tweed amps.
I had a Jupiter in my 75 Princeton Reverb. These are made by warehouse, but they have the fit and finish of an old school speaker.
I have no experience with the GA Emi, but it has quite a reputation.
Forgive the ham fisted noddling, but this is the 1968 Jensen in the 73 DR. It has a reedines that I never have heard from a modern speaker. I have four of them. They spent many years absorbing tobacco smoke in a small Houston music store (and probably elsewhere) to achieve this lovely tone.

As far as speakers go, if you can find a late 1960s C12N for not stupid money, get it. It will blow you away.
For reproduction, I'd be looking at Eminence GA-SC64, Jupiter 12LC, or the old reliable Weber 12F150.

That strat is a beauty. I have a partscaster in a very similar color combo.
Also, I had a bad case of swamp ash last week. Little cornstarch fixed me right up.

I was on team no-wrap for a while. I think on average, it saves about an hour or so on time in my case, and you definitely lose a little internal temp taking the brisket off the pit to wrap it in butcher paper. But the reason I have gone back is that the end of the flat was drying out too much for my taste. My usual MO is to get it on at about 9 p.m., let it run all night (I smoke at 238, which is what my WSM likes). Go to bed once everything is rocking along. Wake up before 9 the next morning and it's probably time to wrap or it's at 170 or so. The end product is way more consistent for me.
