garimpo 2,301 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 UPDATE ON CV19: it's been almost 10 months since I had the CV19 and some of it is still with me. About once or twice a week I start the cough again but one or two sprays of the throat spay stops it in it's tracks. Finally got my taste and smell back but in the months that have followed I've lost 17.7 lbs. I wasn't fat so the weight loss has been in my muscles.The Doc's here don't know how to stop the loss only to say eat more and lift weights. Saturday a couple here bought their first detector, a Minelab Gold Monster 1000. they brought it by my house and I gave them about two hours of ground school, now have to find a day we can go give it a test run. 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

garimpo 2,301 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Yesterday 18-02-2021 a big setback on the covid, the mayor made new rules. Now all nonessential business will close at 18:00. No more alcoholic drinks sold period. Since I don't read Portuguese there's probably more so I'll have to ask my grand-son who does. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

garimpo 2,301 Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Just finished today a eight day lock down but it also started a new eight day lock down today. Under the old rules I go into a restaurant and fill my styro foam container then take it out to eat somewhere else. New rules today if I get caught inside the restaurant I get fined almost $1,000.00 USD. No beer sales under lock down rules, may have to cut back one beer a day to stretch my supply. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

garimpo 2,301 Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 RD now three down and out, only one left. We just entered our third week of lock down. Yesterday I called a Sheriffs deputy in a town 20 miles North of here and she said the town was still free. So I headed there and bought four cases of beer, then today they went to lock down, WHEW. Went to my restaurant today now the new rules are NO BODY INSIDE THE RESTAURANT, call-in orders only and then they deliver. So I stood outside and told them what i wanted, then went and sat in my pick-up until they "delivered" my food. After lunch I cleaned out all items related to prospecting from my P/U. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Old Tom 1,119 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Hey Red_desert, keep taking his temperature to see if he has any fever. If he doesn't like the oral thermometer then tell him that you are going to turn him over and jam one in the other end. I know how older people can be sometimes as I am there myself. I am 87 and my wife is 89. Tough love bro! Old Tom Quote Link to post Share on other sites

garimpo 2,301 Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Now the wife of my friend that passed away has CV so bad she has to hold on to something to just walk to the bathroom. Yesterday our third week of lockdown ended so today we got to eat in a restaurant like nothing ever happened. Freedom sure feels good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

garimpo 2,301 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Here it is Sunday, went to the restaurant this morning to have another great lunch but got stopped short just as I was getting out of my pickup by one of the waitress', it seems like their back to call in orders and delivery only but she took my order and had me return to my truck and wait. Five minutes later she delivered my order to me in my truck. Hope to find more tomorrow from the owners. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
