    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 8

    Took in a fast walk yesterday morning, then met a couple of friends for lunch at our favorite brewpub, and in the evening I spent some more time sanding the bench I bought, I've got most of the visible parts sanded now and getting into the more and more tricky corners. The hidden section at the...

    Olympics?

    I really struggle with the concept of team sports (in which there is no one winner) and events in which final placings is a matter of judgment rather than objective fact. In a 100m race it's clear who crossed the finishing line first. When it comes to gymnastics, diving and the like and it's...

    CDC - Vaccinated can go mask free

    I don't know enough about the vaccine to comment on how effective it is. It does seem safe to say that we have no idea what, if any, long term complications it may create. Given that from my perspective it seems that in the red corner I've got a virus with a 99.98% survival rate (and that I...

    CDC - Vaccinated can go mask free

    But, but, but, we don't know how long the immunity lasts so we'd best all stand in line for an experimental vaccine of unknown duration. Because science.

    CDC - Vaccinated can go mask free

    It doesn't work but be a good little serf and stand in line for the experimental jab. I still figure that exposure to the actual virus is likely to result in immunity that is more effective than exposure to an artificial compound intended to trick my system into producing something that looks...

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 8

    Pushed harder than I intended today. My "suggested workout" was at a pace I struggle to maintain because I find it too fast to walk and too slow to jog, so I set off at a gentler pace than normal. Sadly I didn't leave enough time after lunch and it was warmer than I expected so I ended up...

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 8

    Not a whole lot on the agenda for today. My shiny new fitness tracker gave me an "excellent" sleep score last night. I'm debating whether to go for a run or a hike in the woods today.

    CDC - Vaccinated can go mask free

    Interestingly in the early days of the virus there was a video that was constantly being censored in which a couple of scientists were discussing seroprevalence and their figures suggested that the number of people who had had the virus was orders of magnitude more than we were being told...

    CDC - Vaccinated can go mask free

    The trouble with "the unvaccinated" is that it's not a single group with a single purpose. Some people (myself included) didn't bother with the vaccine because we already had the original illness. The official line, as best as I can tell among the dross, is that because we don't know how long...

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 8

    My wife and I got our walk in this morning before it got too warm. I'm debating going for a last-ditch attempt to earn the month's running badge on my tracker's fitness software. I currently have a whisker over 26 miles and need to get to 50 by the end of the month. It's a tall order but might...

    CDC - Vaccinated can go mask free

    As far as I can see this hasn't been about science for a very long time. I really struggle to see how people can take the "top leaders" seriously any more - their credibility is in tatters.

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 8

    I went for a walk while my wife was at her fitness class. I hadn't planned to run but a bit before the 2-mile mark I found myself wanting to go faster so alternated walking and jogging for the rest of it. Normally I jog the flats and downhills and walk the uphills but today I figured I'd push...

    Bees or Wasps in wall?

    The stuff I used will spray some silly distance and stick to the nest. The instructions say to spray it in the early evening when they are least active - you want to destroy the nest while all the wasps are in it. I think it's the blue ones (they look black until the sun hits them, when they...

    Bees or Wasps in wall?

    The biggest concern with using something like acetone in the hole is not knowing where the flames might emerge from the ground. If there is a queen in the nest I want her dead, I just don't want to find I blew honking great holes in the back yard or lit a jet of flame underneath myself to...

    Favourite Ice-Cream Places?

    I think the best ice cream I've ever had was at the Island Creamery on Chincoteague Island in Virginia. That was truly awesome.

    Bees or Wasps in wall?

    No, I hadn't considered that. It's worth a thought, especially since I can use something that's friendlier to the ground and the nearby streams than acetone or diesel not to mention a lot cheaper. It doesn't sound like it's as much fun as a blowtorch, but a blowtorch isn't the most efficient way...

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 8

    Mostly lazy morning, had friends round last night and didn't sleep very well because I was too busy digesting a heavy dinner. My wife and I went for our walk, then we went to look at a bike rack our friends offered us (it looked good but wouldn't fit on our car), and then went to our favorite...
