This will probably take a while, the first thing I need to do is buy a lathe. No, check that, the FIRST thing I need to do is figure out where the **** I would put a lathe. I had a bunch of room in my garage a year ago, but COVID forced me to turn it into my weight room. OK, so I figure out where it goes, then I have to buy it, and some of those fancy tool things that actually cut the wood, then I have to learn how to do the lathe thing. There will be sanding and finishing involved too. I'm thinking 2050 is an optimistic estimate, but don't hold me to it . . .

Finally got more clarity today:
The good news: I am actually not REQUIRED to quarantine unless me or my wife become symptomatic. Until then, I am considered "secondary exposure", so there is no quarantine requirement, but I am encouraged to limit contact with others as much as reasonably possible. The bad news: The earliest we could schedule a COVID test is Friday mid-day, so if we are both negative, we will be back out and about unrestricted (well, except for the restrictions everyone else is facing) in 3.5 days. Not a big deal. Wife and I worked on some option stuff yesterday, and today reached out to a realtor about listing our one remaining investment property for sale. In other words, life is going on as before, just with the wife home instead of at the bank. |

What is this "scheduling" of a COVID test of which you speak? There are lots of places here that do them free, and you just show up. No symptoms needed. No appointment needed. Should be like that everywhere - but apparently isn't.

Scheduled or not, having my brain scraped sounds uncomfortable as hell, so scheduled or not I ain't getting one unless I absolutely, positively have to.

Actually, according to everything I hear, you can just sing a hymn to the swab and it will have virus all over it. |

The rules have changed a lot around here too. You go to different places if you are symptomatic vs. non-symptomatic, which I didn't know, but am not surprised. Symptomatic places are open 24/7, so you may have to wait for hours to get your test, but they don't turn you away. At the moment, my wife and I are still non-symptomatic. I'm drinking a beer. |

And they only do them in my town for one hour a week. You still have to schedule it if you want to get tested in Omaha too. |

I ship to you today overnight You sample and ship back to me overnight You get results the next day. It is expensive though. The shipping costs more than the test. BUT when you gotta have it, it's an option. |

This seems like it will become a cottage industry in the future....forged covid test documents. Seems like forged papers were popular during another time in our history......WWII Germany and their occupied countries. |

The wife, who is a bit of a hypochondriac, started getting sinus pressure and was afraid she had it. We signed up last Wednesday for a Thursday 4PM test. Had the results by 9.30am the next morning. If we get in a bind, I will keep that in mind. Thanks |
