The clock in the SL runs but there is a discontinuity in drive wheel, so it does not keep time. The SDL and SD both had working clocks when sold. I have not used a wrist mounted time piece for about 27 years and the one I last saw was a Disney Winnie the Pooh watch in a desk drawer last time

Re: [MBZ] I was at the Dr today

Alaska is running out of swabs. I do not think that is a giant issue, as I suspect the damn things will not fix the infection in a productive manner. Fairbanks has shut itself off from the world, Anchorage just decided to suggest everybody stay home for a few weeks. BTW, AK has a population

Old people home is probably a fairly good place to hang out in a situation like this. My mother (90) is self isolating. She has a dog to care for, but probably could use company other than a dog. Too afeared to wander the aisles of a grocery store. Not sure they have instituted seniors

Re: [MBZ] So evidently...

Time for you to get a Hobo Dojo (class C RV) and work out of that. Ability so self isolate and be on the road at the same time. Stop at a dealership, pull out a folding chair under the shade and stay two meters away from the client, who brings his own chair. clay > On Mar 17, 2020, at 1:13
