All the symptoms of COVID-19!

Not me, someone else here. Low grade fever, coughing, fatigue, hard to breath, coughing, nausea.

I think it's day 3 of that for her, going on day 4. I haven't seen her today so I dunno how she's doing but considering she's still in bed I assume she's still not feeling well.  She gets the results of COVID test either today or tomorrow.  If she has it, we're all allegedly supposed to isolate for 14 days or whatever it is now?

No clue, haven't paid any attention to that nonsense lately.  

Finally found a storage place for my boat - too much stuff around here, I wanted to find a cheap place to store it out of the way. At $50 per month in a fenced, gated location with 24 hour access, I found the perfect place and it's only a few miles away.  Getting that taken care of this morning, my attention diverts to setting up a new pond.  Instead of in ground, it's going to be a galvanized horse trough. The only ones I've found around here are 8 footers which is larger than I wanted and also much more expensive.  

I'm still looking. A 6 foot version is perfect and less than $300. No one sells used ones around here, I've been looking in several different forums. Even a rusted one would be fine since I have a pond liner I can put into it.  I have everything else I need for it. 

Farmer's Almanac is predicting a much colder winter this year than last year.  The area I just came back from has already been recruiting 100 drivers to go up there and haul LNG for the winter. I do not want to be one of those people or the other gig for the college or apparently even more gigs to handle the overload of business needing the gas for heating purposes.  I'm rather curious why all of these places don't have pipelines running the stuff to them.  Especially a giant college - it's literally a city of its own.

I have no idea when I'm starting work again, but I'll assume Tuesday for lack of a better guess since it's likely all the weekend and Monday assignments have already been handed out.  Other drivers are still fuming about the 2 new drivers getting the gravy runs.  To the point one of them sent a text to the manager about it. He never got back to us of what the manager said - tho in my limited experience with him he probably didn't reply at all.

Tonight at 6:00 pm there is going to be a protest in the city square here.  Yes, these people are here.  Whether they are locals, outsiders or a mixture of the two, I do intend on driving up there and watching for a bit to see what happens. They are still complaining about that Confederate statue that's been there 115 years, I would be surprised if there weren't armed citizens standing around it tonight.  I'm not going up there to start or look for trouble - tho rest assured I will be armed, concealed carry tho - I want to see what happens. If it's truly a peaceful protest then more power to them.  That's their right. They don't, however, have the right to tear down the statue, assault police officers and attempt to burn down buildings.

Guaranteed the county Sheriff Deputies would put an immediate stop to any of that nonsense. This isn't the big city and they aren't going to tolerate that s*** here.  I've been speaking my opinion of it for a while now and that if any of it came here I would be there in the midst of it, time to put my money where my mouth is.  Again, I am not going there to start any trouble, whatsoever, no MAGA hat or shirt, just an interested citizen. 

I'm kind of in a holding pattern here waiting to find out if the lady of the house has the virus.  It will definitely make life interesting if she does, for that likely means we'll all get it.  I'm not at the age where it's of particular concern but I'm close enough to it.  Worried? No.  But, there is a certain element of concern when facing something that could potentially take your life.  I'm not being dramatic, lol, it is what it is.

Well I guess I best get outside, get my SUV hooked up to the boat and get it ready to go.  I doubt the neighbor is liking where I parked it tho she has said nothing about it.  It's on our property but it's between our houses where the lawn is actually quite nice.
