Random Photos ‘You took’

We can have it for up to two weeks before we see symptoms but during that couple weeks we are contagious. I don't think most masks people are wearing protect them against a virus.

My neighbor is making masks and donating them. She gave me two for my son and I. They are cotton and made so you slip a couple coffee filters into the pocket between the two pieces of fabric sewn together. The elastic is nice. It's covered and wider than your construction dust masks (that a guy who has always been using them in his occupation can not find now!). Instead of going behind the head, one on each side goes around the ears.

Now here's the thing. I try mine on and I'm thinking something's wrong with my ears. They just fold forward and the mask falls off. I know some people who wear glasses can't keep their specs from sliding down their nose but their ears work to hold them on. I wondered if my genetics gave me soft ears, some kind of defect.

After several tries over a couple days I ask my son what he thinks of his mask. My son doesn't waste words. Doesn't say much at all. All he had to say was "It's too small". Man was I ever relieved?

But you have to wonder. Did she just palm off a couple defective masks on me? Does she make a smaller size for children and her grand daughters grabbed the wrong ones? Or is she making them all too small and because they are donated they just find some elsewhere and never let her know? I'm going to have to lie if she asks

Put some extenders on them so that they wrap all the way around your head. My wife stitched up some masks that work pretty well. Maybe you got one sized for your inner child?

Well I thought I ought to just try one on and sort of get used to it in case it was made mandatory to get into some place. I went out to the shop today and put one on, but I wasn't happy about it!
I have one of those custom made cloth masks. I don't have a large head or anything but I blew the elastic band, twice. It lasted less than 10 minutes total. I am done with it. White cloth is the wrong color for shop work anyway.

Luckily being a Landscape contractor, I am always outside
I can’t stand wearing masks
It felt weird when it was your own choice
But, when it became mandatory here
Every one wears one inside stores
So, I hung one on my rear view mirror
Any time I go into a store I wear it
I, actually think it is a good idea for safety
Boog, get over it
Get an n95
Wear it when you are in crowded areas
It may save your life
It is a small price to pay, until the scientists
Figure this thing out
The virus hasn’t affected my life
And it probably hasn’t, yours either
But it might

My Havanese dog. Bear. They say that dogs look like their owners.... Could be some truth to that.

Good idea. I thought about something to go behind my head between the loops. Truth be told I don't need it. I had N95s for work already.

I asked about her making the masks because I wanted to pay her to make me some out of something cool like an old shirt. Something with "flair" to make a fashion statement since they are the new trend. Like a logo off a t-shirt or flannel plaid. But when I asked she just sent the girls in to grab a couple. I couldn't very well say "This wasn't what I had in mind".

Thanks for playing along

Last pic. I'd send to my uncle, late last December. He always asked me for pictures of my dog, which until last August belonged to my mom, his sister. I'd never taken a double exposure before. He never saw it, little did I know he was on his death bed passing Jan. 1, RIP.

This thread has lost it's randomness in favor of cute puppy pictures . I remember my (hot) HS film analysis teacher had a thing about submitting doggy shots. Probably because how will you learn anything doing that? They are all good without a class!

Random photo of a mangy dog I saw out by my barn. Actually just got a haircut,it’s been so long that I made an appointment for today. I hadn’t donned and cleared a mask since 1981.
I no longer have hard feelings against Corson and Stoughton.
Today’s mask smells like Gain.

Yep. Any day on two wheels is a good day. Going to do my 300 mi loop tomorrow. Time to clear my head. Just hope I don't run into any rocks like this.

I thought this looked like a comet, but it is the evil pine pollen on the wifes Malibu.

Oh man, don't I know it? It seems it's much worse this year than ever before. In the past I could run through the auto car wash to get rid of it but not this year. My Tahoe sits out in the yard in the big wide open and it got covered this year. It looked like pollen bombs hit it in places and it was covered all over too. I spent 3 hours hand scrubbing with straight hot water, car wash soap and a scrubby mitt and still didn't get it all off. It don't just rub off. It's all over our camper too but it doesn't show.
