BIGGUNDOCTOR Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Finally got my ISP out to replace my old dish that konked out. I now have internet on the desktop again. Looks like March 16 was my last time here, and y'all have been busy. As for me, I have been working steady through this whole affair. Food manufacture being essential and all. We have been busy working 5 to 7 days a week, and even did some hiring. Things are finally starting to get back to normal around Las Vegas, the only bad part is I have to share the roads again I have joined the chicken raising fraternity when a coworker gave me seven 5 week old Rhode Island Reds, 2 roosters and 5 hens. As for the Covidness. No one at work sick, no one I know sick, no one in my valley sick, and very few (7,915) in all of Clark County, pop. 2,267,000 or 0.3%. Every Saturday morning and a couple of Sundays I attended my Carowner virus support groups Lots of really nice cars in the area. Kind of our little rebellion. And lets face it, Carowner virus is one of the strongest ones out there, and no known cure. Well, it is almost 9:30am so I better hit the hay because I have to double back for a late swing shift today since one of their guys is out.

Frosty Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Good to see you again. Living in the desert is a good thing where Covid 19 is concerned, it doesn't survive drying out. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Car owner virus has me in it's grip too, have 5 in the stable. My pride and joy is a 1987 Cavalier port fuel injected Z24 hatchback all original with 233,890 miles on her and still runs like a NASCAR.

CrazyGoatLady Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Sounds like you may have chickarona virus also. Chickens are an addiction too. Good having you back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGGUNDOCTOR Posted June 11, 2020 Author Share Posted June 11, 2020 It is starting to warm up here, and we have seen 110F a couple of times already. The chickens handled it really well. CGL, I can see how these little dinosaurs can be addictive. Amazing how fast they grow. Irondragon, I have around 20 at the moment. A few are for sale, and I finally found a donor truck for my 4 door 56 Imperial project down in San Antonio TX. 1994 Dodge 2500 4x4 5 speed with a 12V Cummins. I got outbid on a wrecked 04 Ram SRT/10 with a 6 speed for the 2 door 56 Imperial hot rod. Hans, it's good to be back. I just wish things would get back to the old normal soon. I miss my casino buffets Frosty, the Southern NV desert heat is good for something it appears, or maybe it is all of the fallout from the nuke tests We also have free arsenic and asbestos in areas nearby. Ya gotta be tough or crazy to live here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Hey we had an open air Nuke test in the county I live in before we even used them in WWII! Some wells in town had enough arsenic in them that sensitive people had visible issues and my local water keeps failing for radionuclides; I won't even mention the DU rounds tested outdoors around here...But I will admit; *nothing* as dangerous as those Casino Buffets! (You have to go out of the county for those...Have we chased enough people off yet BGD; or shall we mention Plague, Hanta Virus, killer UV, etc?)

BIGGUNDOCTOR Posted June 12, 2020 Author Share Posted June 12, 2020 UV which I call ultra violent rays. I never had a problem with valve stems back home, not a one. Move here and they go like popcorn... When they go, they get replaced with all metal stems. Wiper blades last like a cheap blue tarp, one season, and get maybe a couple hours of intermittent use. The singe digit humidity mixed with triple digits gets tourists in trouble. They dehydrate without knowing it since the sweat evaporates so fast. Next thing they feel is the hot concrete as they hit the deck. I carry water in the cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The latter gives the skin a glowing complexion, although we are advised to not ingest it. BGD, good to see that you are maintaining.

ThomasPowers Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 I don't worry much about it as I am past caring about reproductive hazards. I'll worry when they send a notarized certified letter to everyone telling them that storing more than X gallons may result in fission as a lot of the folks out here will go "Yeah! Free hot water!"
