Moring all. TGIF!!! Or is it? Hard to tell. Lets see I'm wearing pants so it must be Friday, that's the trip to the post office day.

Yea, our trip to Enid on Wednesday screwed with my mental day count. It just seemed like a weekend day.

yeah I got into it with an engineer last week who decided that I was out of line not being available at 7:30 at night to make a drawing correction. I sent him the corp guideline email about while working from home try and maintain normal working hours. I for one do not work past 4pm cause I have been at it since 7am.

As a greedy business owner I have worked on Christmas day, late at night past midnight, and many weekends. But I then goof off a whole lot "on the job".

I never pay the slightest attention to the number of hours worked. It is a bit different than when I was an employee. I usually did get in early to beat the rush hour. I often had 90 minutes lunch hours.

that and its a bit different when you see some of the profit and not just a paycheck with no over time pay.

Yep, totally different.

When you are just a cog in the wheel and the company only want results and does not care about anything but production it sucks.

The company that builds our camera pods is a small two man company. One of them is a family man and his dad was gone from his job a lot. He will not do that for his kids and wife. He does travel a lot all over the world. But if he is home on Friday at 5:00 his cell phone is off, and he will not replay to email. He is off work, period. He comes "back to work" at 8:00 AM Monday, and his home office is at his house. I respect that.

I finished up watching the "Enterprise" 4 seasons. It is the story of the start of human exploration. It predated Capt. Kirk by 100 years. It is before the Federation of planets existed. Scott Backula is Capt. Archer, and he is instrumental in getting the Federation started. The final episode is really cool for long time treckies. It has Next Generation ties.

One of the two part shows is called "Through the mirror darkly" and it is the story of an alternate universe Capt. Archer and Earth is a war like empire only looking to enslave aliens. The find the Defiant that disappears in Kirk era shows. The Enterprise in the Archer episodes only has 87 crew, and the Kirk era is a much bigger ship and have 420 some odd crew and is the first of the NCC 1701 class ships.

Anyway if you like Star Trek, it is for sure worth watching. They even explain why when Kirk encounters Klingons they don't have the large cranial ridges like Warf in Next generation episodes.

Got back from doc appt.
Everyone had to go thru main hosp visitor entrance.
One lane thru parking with no valets.
Spaces close to door though. People were leaving as people arrived.
Took temperatures and had people sanitize their hands then could go in.
Only about half the people visiting were wearing masks.
Didn't hear any coughing, etc.

All checked out ok, but...gotta keep records of my BP twice a day and have a stress test done in two weeks to be cleared for colonoscopy even though the gut doc does not think he will find anything to help just went problem.

Get to see the 928 all cleaned up and shiney this afternoon!

Paint all restored and a ceramic coating on it.

Like most people the detail guy really likes that Iris Blau Metallic.
At at several different 928 events the wives told me they voted my car as their favorite color.
There are only 3 that color. One other is in Chicago, the third in Helsinki.

When I saw it for sale, tried for two weeks to talk myself out of it. Decided would never find another one that color.

Welp, it is shiney shiney shiney.

Just too bad can't drive a 5 spd no more.

Now sell that puppy!

Cash it in like a check.

The guy selling it for me is a LOT more excited about it now!

Like a check that will make up for getting furloughed!

Whohoo, saw on facebook that Zarate's a local latin grill has opened back up yesterday. Dining room, patio, and touchless pickup.

Really like their cuban sandwiches and Lomo Saldalto. The lomo saldalto is marinated beef cooked with tomatos, peppers, onions, french fries in special sauce with sides of yucca and plantains.

O' yeah, and mexican coke in a frosty mug if ypu eat in. They also got lots of margarita's, but don't drink much mixed drinks.

Glad to see Zarate's is selling food again.

We did take out again last night at a place on Memorial road that is open for regular business. People were streaming in. They had a table set up out front for the pickup and the web site let me make the order and pay before hand. They were right on time, and I just told them my name and they handed me a big sack of food.

We made a grocery store run this morning. We usually did a early Sunday morning visit anyway, the last time was a lot of empty shelves and a lot of people there. The crowds were about back to normal, very light as planned and desired.

The TP aisle was well stocked with some brand I had never heard of, but we don't need any TP anyway. We did get some paper towels. Meat was slightly picked over put plenty to left to buy. The pain in the butt is wearing the silly mask. My glasses fog up, when tells me much of my breath is blowing out the top of the mask. The have the aisles marked with an arrow and they are one way. We normally went down the produce aisle, then hit the aisles with the stiff we buy. We skip the baby aisle and the booze and dog food aisles completely. Can't do that anymore.

And very aisle we hit in the past is "backwards" from before. It is a real first world problem to have to have to struggle to get the food we want from the opposite side of the aisle. At least the food was there to get and we can afford it without any struggle at all.

Hearing the meat processing workers coming down with the virus are gettin infected away from work and not spreading it at work.

Gots a few days before doing another instacart order.

Hope they still have beef when I get more groceries. Just finished a home made roast and opened a 1lb package of ground beef for grilling burgers on the smoker grill.

Welp, officially furloughed. 2 to 5 months of unpaid leave.

Sure hope that 928 sells soon!

That sucks Richard. You will have some tough decisions to make. How much of that money can you put on your mortgage and maybe pay the house off. Hopefully you have lots of receipts on what money you spent on the 928 over the years. Those receipts will help reduce the capital gains taxes on the 928 sale price.

Yep, If that stupid covid thing hadn't tanked my 401k could have quit work today and matched my current income from 401k and SSI long enough to maintain it for 25 years or until 85. Then just be left with SSI. Since covid 401k has dropped projection of maintaining income also dropped to 15 years. Not that it really matters since found 90% of diabetics with my complications don't live longer don't than 10 years anyway.
