Currently 85 degrees and sunny in southern AZ, the low was 46 degrees.

Completed stage one of testing the Alpicool 60T without added insulation. I will run another test once the insulation is in place to see if I can improve performance. Took 4 days to freeze liquids solid and 3 days without power to thaw the liquids all at 80 degrees ambient temperature.

It actually made it to a high of 90 degrees today in the low desert. Felt great. I had to change out of my long underwear finally and went to supper in a short sleeve shirt (fish &chips yum).

7:30 pm est and just got home.   Got my second Covid Shot today.  

Feel a little tired and drowsy but I've only had a couple of cups of coffee today.   About to fix another and see if 
it gives me a lift.  

Didn't have any reaction to the first and so far none to the second.  But I've been up since around 5 am est. 

Same guy gave me both shots.  Couldn't feel them.  He could make a mosquito jealous.   :p

Didn't have any reaction to the first and so far none to the second. I may feel this way since I've got up  around 5 am est. 

Same guy gave me both shots and I couldn't even feel them.  With his touch,  he could make the mosquitoes jealous. :p
 
^^^My first one I didn’t even feel the needle touch the skin, crazy how that can even happen. I had to check the bandaid to see if there was even a blood spot. Looked like about the size of the tip of a ball point pen. Gotta love the VA when it comes to blood work or shots!
 
I’ve been drinking turmeric tea with ginger, licorice root, and black pepper throughout the pandemic. (Is that a sensitive word? Not sure what the OP was trying to say...) I work full time in a grocery store, traveled, attended multiple rallies and have been completely fine. I indulge on sleep to fight off anything, take advantage of daylight for the best vitamin D, and try to eat well (including shellfish for zinc). I was really worried about my “high risk” mother (68, heavy smoker for 50 years and counting, COPD, high blood pressure). She tested positive and only had a garden-variety cold. I refuse any tests or vaccines. I have an immune system.
 
Apparently many have not because an extremely large number of deaths have occurred this last year. I hope you and you mother continue to have good health and are not carriers infecting others.
 
That is amazing, 60's in MN early March. I would have guessed May for the spring ice melt and breakup there.

Got my first shot (Pfizer) a week ago.  Didn't feel a thing and had no side effects.  However a few (ten) days ago, I was eating bran cereal when one tooth hurt.  Two days later, the dentist was asking "Would you eat an almond on that side?" and I said "No!!!"  Then he looked at my tooth, barely probed and had an "Oh ****" reaction.  My tooth was fractured and (after a few shots) yanked out the fragment; he said I will need an implant.  I saw the dental specialist today and will have the extraction/implant (base) in 8 days.  The main topic of today's visit was the price.  The compound covering the root of that tooth will apparently fail eventually (probably before the end of March?) and I just want to get the broken tooth out.  One good thing is that I can eat fine and have no pain (at least until the ultraviolet-cured compound fails).  I think about the videos suggesting dental care in Mexico but I'm not ready to take that trip yet.  Has anyone here received a dental implant in Mexico?  How did it turn out?
 
70's today, still breezy in southern AZ.

 Kind of a downer day, looking at articles on all the bad people in law enforcement and what they do to others. It's too bad there are no good people with a true sense of morality in law enforcement, but all we get are moral degenerates imposing their filth on everyone else. 

Maybe defunding is the answer, then they would be unemployed moral degenerates, no longer able to abuse power. Another posibility is what UK did, take away their cars and guns but that still leaves chemical restraints that are such a crime against humanity in the US.

Oh man. I know there are bad cops but they aren’t all bad! That’s kinda like saying all vandwellers litter the desert.

Not the same, IMHO.

For one there is that oath which includes preservation of human life and other vows concerning morality. Link to oath.

Dwellers do not take an oath, altho many help each other out and are known to pick up litter and fill in those stinky cat holes. But not the same thing. YMMV.

Well I wasn’t a bad cop. Never kneeled on anyone’s neck. Not a racist either. They just aren’t all bad.
 
I hear you Cammalu, you weren't the bad guy.

A few questions to consider:

But did you administer a ketamine injection? Did you review their complete medical history with them before doing so? Did you tell them that ketamine is a lethal drug, and did they consent? And did they live to tell? Oh that's right, memory wiped out by the drug.

Did you tell the truth about it after?

Thank to the body cams and published bystander videos. Truth and accountability are not completely lost. But people died when their lives should have been protected.

BTW, this also affects EMT and healthcare workers, as in the hospital there are usually 6 people holding the person down when the shot is given, why it is called a chemical restraint. But no cams in the hospital, you will have to take my word for it.

Of course I didn’t Crofter nor did a million other police. I’m just saying you can’t blame all for the bad few
