Locker plant is now one full year out on butchering. Good thing I got as much done when I did. Place is busy beyond belief. Was almost out the door on Saturday. He's had to hire more help. Grocery store is maintaining well. Supplies are maintaining right down to the @sswipe. Prices on many things including that are higher.

It hasn't been so bad in Bugtussle here mike but when I've been to larger municipalities I've experienced more of the rude behavior and a general sense of animosity between shoppers trying to maintain their distancing. From the mask wearers who are in the minority, I've got the stinkeye and heard occasional comments about not wearing one. Rather than get into it with them & start quoting Dr. Michael Osterholm I just ignore it.

Dentist visit went well.  Took my mask off for the procedure.  I grew up in Luverne.  Lots of big hog barns down there.  I had mentioned getting a hog for next to nothing and my buddy down there said all of the small town lockers are full up until March next year.

Maybe you should put a copy of your test that read negative recently around your neck so folks would know  that you are clean and can shop bareback.

Went to get my driver's license renewed today. Not many people but it still was a long wait. Started with a line outside because they only allowed two people in at a time. Start to finish two hours. :doofus: :thumbs:

Have kind of thought I would like to get it and get it over with but now the guys on that ship the Roosevelt are getting the covid for the 2nd time.  Like 13 of them so far.  SO getting it doesn't mean you won't get it again it seems. 
Just seen some expert on TV talk about this & she said the same thing, having the antibodies doesn't mean you have immunity. :scratch:
They just said on NBC nightly news last night that once you get it you do have immunity once you have the antibodies and that you can't spread it either. Also said on the radio this morning that they are contributing people getting it a 2nd time to bad test results.

When I heard about the Roosevelt crew getting sick for the second time, the first thing that came to mind was, they must have gotten a hold of some Chinese test kits?

Yes, I'm not blaming the girls, they were working hard and were pleasant. just the way it is. Enhanced ID made it take a while to process mine. They wouldn't let me wear a mask for the photo.

Yep, last week da gov surprised me when he let the stay at home expire. Now he surprised me on how stupid his plan is for opening bars and restaurants  :crazy: :crazy:. Outside seating only. Salons only 25% capacity and gyms still can't open. Ha just can't let go of control. May have to start calling him governor Putin. I seen on the news the other day where a casino is reopening and they had plexiglass dividers between each bar stool and between slot machine. Ya think the dimwit could follow their example. But it does sound like campgrounds may be able to open. Can't remember if I heard that right or not.

Catholic and Lutheran Churches are going to re-open with their own restrictions and protocols in defiance of the governor's order to limit public gatherings to 10 or less.

"We believe that those circumstances have changed, as confirmed by the Governor’s decision to end the Stay-at-Home order and allow more commerce. It is now permissible for an unspecified number of people to go to shopping malls and enter stores, so long as no more than 50 percent of the occupancy capacity is reached. Big-box stores have hundreds of people inside at any one time, and the number of goods that are being handled and distributed in one store by many people—stock staff, customers, cashiers—is astounding. Workers are present for many hours per day, often in close proximity. There is no state mandate that customers wear masks in those malls or stores, wash their hands consistently, or follow any specific cleaning protocol.
...

An order that sweeps so broadly that it prohibits, for example, a gathering of 11 people in a Cathedral with a seating capacity of several thousand defies reason. Therefore, we have chosen to move forward in the absence of any specific timeline laid out by Governor Walz and his Administration. We cannot allow an indefinite suspension of the public celebration of the Mass."

not to start a arguement here, BUT............ those pay raises are part of a contract that was negotiated in good faith. yes they could, both sides agree on some alternative deal. the way the politicians piss money away they need to honor that contract.

Good thing I got a shave & a haircut or I could've been mistaken for some fugitive! Yes, they're always on the stick & nice to deal with. Doesn't hurt to know some of them. Good to know they're open again. My license expired too so imagine I need to get in there one of these days. I have my passport & it's good for a few years yet so think I'll probably go the regular route for now.

You just had to go and start an argument didn't ya.  ;) JK, that is a part of the story that they didn't say on the radio. Would have been better if they didn't announce it at all.

Sounds like the State Fair hangs in the balance today. Some subtle hints it's not gonna happen. No emails to livestock exhibitors concerning the IRS dipping diesel tanks on pickups or contracts for camper parking being distributed yet. No go ahead for livestock superintendents to hire help for their shows. Hope they make a decision, the sooner the better. Have animals we're feeding just in case that might as well be on pasture. Pretty sure SD will still have their fair but it's a pretty scaled down version of the great MN get together. It's a shame. We had a pretty nice group this year, especially out of a new ram we paid some good coin for. Not all for naught. This year's lambs can still compete as yearlings and gives us the element of surprise after laying in the weeds for a year.
