Weave

So my son has decided that he is going to lease a truck. He's asked me to help him negotiate a good lease. I'm a pretty good negotiator. A part of my career was spent in sales, which helps alot. But I've never leased a vehicle. Doing alot of research on it. Learning alot. Interested to hear what some of the folks here have to say about negotiating a lease.

Strangest Thanksgiving yet. When we thought we were relocating to CT we bought my mother an iPhone so we could Facetime with her. Came in handy today. At least we got to see each other that way. Been a quiet Thanksgiving here. We still did the full spread, but obviously it wasn't the same. Lots of clean up for what it was. I'm thankful that my direct family got through 2020 relatively unscathed so far, but I'm ready for it to be over.

It used to be on a side bar on the Aud Club main page. I did not notice that. That works well enough.

Not skin related but I greatly dislike that I have to go to the front page for access to the clubs I am in. Otherwise, it all looks good and seems to work well.

Mitts definitely had his share of chances at center. I don't know how you could see otherwise. The idea that this teams' front office has ruined centers by playing them at wing just doesn't have any real evidence behind it.

Other than Sam, what future centers started at wing and never went back?

Positive test of an employee today. Starting to hit closer to home for me now.

Holy crap! My county blew up today. Positive tests in the last 24 hrs exceed the entire month of April.

Fake news. 😁

Not a doctor. Didn't stay in a Holiday Inn last night. My expectation is that it is indirectly, not directly, related to weather. Cold weather breeds close proximity and recycled indoor air, and that is the meaningful change that is contributing to the resurgence.

And yet again.....

Surely we aren’t waiting for Inkman to clean this up, are we?

Coworkers mother died from COVID-19 over the weekend. Another coworker took his mother to the hospital for it this weekend. He’s quarantined too now. And yet another coworker found out he was exposed multiple times last week. A close friend that he’d been spending alot of time with tested positive over the weekend. Thought she had a cold. Maybe she did, but she had Covid too. So now we are all wondering if we are going to be quarantined when the contact tracing completes. Pretty sure I’m canceling the small gatherings we were planning for Thanksgiving now. No way I am risking exposing our parents.

In before they close the border pre-civil war, eh?

If Twitter, QAnon, Brietbart, and OAN had a bastard foursome child it would be named Parler.

Agreed on the 80's music is largely forgettable sentiment.

Made a shrimp and corn chowder for dinner. Lots of sauteed onions, celery, carrots, bell pepper. Small diced taters, home made shrimp stock, shrimps of course, a good dose of heavy cream, and Old Bay for the flavor base. Heavy crusted bread to sop up the broth. Fat. And. Happy.

Head over and take a peak at Parler if you really want to see what Twitter could have devolved into.

Lol.

Wildlife management unit. State owned land managed for hunting and fishing. Google up iroquios wildlife management unit and use satellite view on the map and you should see 5 or 6 shooting lanes along Bartel road.

Even with good ventilation, I couldn't see myself in an indoor range right now. Don't know what town you live in. Are you aware that there are causal shooting lanes in the Tonawanda WMU near the Iroquois Wildlife Refuge? Bartel road I think. That place is a zoo when hunting season starts though. After season it should be easy to get a lane.

Probably swimming against the stream in this crowd, but I never cared for Bruce Springsteen at all. Born in the USA gets my vote.

My county now has almost triple the number of cases we saw at our April peak. Its gonna be a long Winter.

Very nice. I’ve only been out twice. On the same weekend. Was a tough outing.

Not gonna happen in 2020 with a January start.
