Have a great day, Dave! Bring goodies and say hi to your new...nevermind.

I'm having my margarita now... I still plan to run around 7 (PM)... but I need this margarita NOW.

Got a steroid shot in my shoulder this morning. Dr said if I wasn't young and healthy, they wouldn't do it now as it suppresses the immune system  Hope I made the right choice. It's meant to be localized obviously but there is some peripheral exposure. The visit to the doctor was a bit surreal, still hard to believe this is our new normal.

 

I've been wearing a mask at all of my stops for two weeks now, and I am doing my first Virtual Inspection tomorrow, so the new world order is here!

 

Seriously though, this is still a sensitive period because there are people who either don't believe it's real, or don't want the government "telling them what to do". But to your point, it is our new normal. And rather than be an obstructionist, I'm just trying to make it work. Others see it differently and I completely understand their point of view. But at the same time, I am not qualified to stand on a soapbox and call BS. So if they want me to wear a mask, I'll wear a stupid mask. It's not like they're asking me to wear a thong...which I've actually done once or twice, only because the circumstances called for it.

Pics or I call BULLSHIT.

 

Looks like that margarita has kicked in. You still going for a run?

😆😁 yes I am. Its cooled off some, enough to take Jetta. There is one con to running during sunset... BUGS, no other time do I find myself getting pelted in the face with bugs than at sunset 

I'm on my fifth batch or thereabouts of red beans and rice and it is absolutely delightful. The seasonings? Salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika and olive oil. Done. All of that other shit (adding chilies, garlic, tomatoes or tomato sauce) is just a waste of time and good beans in my opinion. I've never met a rice grain I didn't like but for this dish, Basmati long grain white rice for the win. You're welcome.

 

PS, I'm using beans that have been soaked overnight, not those from a can. YMMV

I've never been a fan of beans - black beans, red beans, lima beans, etc...

But that was due to a traumatic event as a child lol, it mostly the texture, no doubt ill get over it someday. Dishes with them smell AMAZING.

The odd thing to me is so many of the people who want to open everything now, also don’t want to wear a mask and are very “it’s my right to not wear a mask” (literally saw someone post that today). Which I mean, whatever, but if it helps us open stuff up and keep infections somewhat down does it really hurt to wear one? I also wear one all day at work though. I know for some people wearing a mask causes anxiety

I ran 5. I’m noticing I feel less fatigued running 6 days a week with higher mileage than on 5 days a week. I think it’s helping that my long runs aren’t such a big chunk of my mileage too
