    Sounds like you need a do nothing weekend, Steve. Wishing you recovery from your cough and fatigue.
    I found an article on testing negative for COVID that I feel did a good job of explaining the different scenarios on exposure and testing.

    Dog training was a bit chaotic yesterday with a late start and new people showing up, so I made up an excuse to leave and went and trained on my own. Annoying since I drive an hour to get there.
    You have to really be on your guard with all the scams and hacking going on. Glad you realized what was going on and prevented any loss, Mike.
    I should probably see a dermatologist. Nothing really concerning but I have some spots around my eyes that I should have looked at.
    Standing in line at the DMV reminds me of boot camp.

    Be OP ;-)

    Good morning gentlemen.

    Had to log in with my phone yesterday, now my mouse has died, so I have to maneuver with my finger. I struggle with small changes to my routine. Laughing at myself.

    Rita felt a bit worse, last night. I think she did too much work in the yard, when she was unwell. I still feel fine. I did venture out, yesterday, to pick up some takeout Korean food. I was masked.

    I have a dermatology appointment in a few weeks. I find a spot of blood on my pillow every now and then. I have several suspicious looking spots on my face and ears.

    Good Morning,
    Pray Rita is feeling better soon. COVID is a strange virus, DMIL has had twice yet neither DW nor myself has had living in same house. I had two vaccinations and two boosters have not decided to get another booster or not.
    Dave, skin issues are not something to take lightly; many cancers can be traced back to skin.
    Steve, hope you get some rest this weekend and feel better soon.
    Bill, hope you were able to dispose of vehicle; I would have taken across state line and sold.

    Good Morning

    I am praying for a quick turnaround for Rita and for your protection from the virus.

    Steve, you and Connie have had quite a week. I hope you two can go on one of your outings to rest and relax.

    My back limited me yesterday, but I managed to find where I had put some papers I put aside early in decluttering including my car stuff. It was in an old wooden box on a shelf. How many times have I put something aside for safekeeping and lost track of it? So no DMV today. The car is being scrapped under an old state program to get clunkers off the road. So if your car is of a certain vintage, is registered, and failed a smog test they offer an incentive to get it off the road rather than have you try and keep it going. Helps with air quality and fuel efficiency. I am just waiting for my application to be approved so I can contact one of the licensed scrappers. Back is much better, knee is grumpy but I am back in business.

    Good luck Dave with your derm appt and Rita's covid health. i had bleeding from an ear and ultimately did MOH's surgery and got it fixed up. Mine was a squamous cell CA which is far less common than the typical basal cell CA skin cancers that abound.
    The woman who talked to me before the dermatologist didn't ask questions very well and I think the derm doc got the wrong impression. I am going to "type up" some nots for myself to set things straight at my next appt in 12 months

    Believe me, guys, I take skin cancer seriously. I have had five basal cell carcinomas removed, as well as one melanoma. To top it off, my grandfather, who was a baseball coach, PE teacher and outdoorsman for more than 40 years, died of metastasized skin cancer when he was 75.
