It's raining here in Maine, too. I came up to the real cabin for a couple of days to break things up...this place is beyond quiet.

The sprayer video is cool. Would the fungicide be good for Rico's feet? We could spray him down.

Ha, you actually kinda answered your own question. It does kinda make a fog and then you turn around and drive right back through it. 

This video shows it working pretty well. I don't have the sensor so mine just outs out a continuous spray. 

You young whippersnappers have it so easy. Back in my day, we had to carry around jugs full of the stuff, take a swig and then spit it all over the trees.

There isn't a good one for established infection. Preventative only  Big Grin

I was going to touch on this in the other thread. Holy [BLEEP] dude, there’s another pandemic going on. One I don’t mind catching.

You REALLY need to find something to do!

Yeah, I think I’m going to start jogging.

Nothing has changed very much for my wife and I. We retired recently but before that we spent years working from home. I already grow vegetables winter and summer, and my wife does a lot of scratch cooking. I have a recent interest in vintage cast iron, so we are learning how to cook with 90 year old pans and I recently restored a rusty old dutch oven I got for $10 at a yard sale, which turned out great.

I also dabble in alternative medicine, so the virus presents a wonderful opportunity for experimentation. The toolbox for corona includes colloidal silver, Vitamin C, Vitamin D3, zinc sulfate, and an antiviral herbal mix containing Lomatium.

Some good movies I've watched lately:

The Last Full Measure
Peanut Butter Falcon
1917
Judy - a decent chick flick

I eventually got around to that brake job I was threatening.
Inner and outer bearings, hub seals, rotors, calipers, pads and the requisite bleed/flush process.
My back, neck, and knuckles aren't completely convinced that it was worth the 300 bucks I saved.
But it's nice not to listen to squeaky bearings and whining worn brake pads now.

Picked up some recording work I can do from my home studio the next couple of days, so I'm keeping the cabin fever mostly at bay.

I finished putting in a "system" in my daughter's car, worked on getting my smaller generator up and running, and getting ready to start on a little Pew Pew build. I feel like I'm spending more money during these hibernation days than I normally would.

Not sure what the whippersnappers call it today but she has some boom in a little Altima Coupe with three 3.5s (dash), two 6.5s (doors), two 6x9s (rear deck), and two DVC 8s in a sealed box (trunk). 1500 watts for the subs and 500 watts for other speakers. Skar subs and the others are Infinity Reference. All speakers are wired at 2.7 ohms or lower.

Geez, I can remember when a 200 watt amp was big. Will the alternator handle that load?

I'll be hitting day 3 of troubleshooting tomorrow. Not real happy about it.

Crazy enough, it does...barely. No light dimming. It has a "big three kit" and a cheap deep cycle battery. It clips a bit at high volume so it could benefit from a better alternator.

Don't waste your money. They are uncomfortable and there are cheaper/better alternatives like Raycon. They just lack some of the same features.

They don’t look comfy.  I wouldn’t get them anyway.   For what I use them for I use the kind that’s connected to each other and has a noise reduction mode.  I don’t have to worry about them falling off at work.  And can listen to music without cranking it up.  I usually do crank it up though, my music rocks! Lol.  

I was wondering if the quality was there or just preferred since they are “low profile”
