C-19 and the panic .

Before I retired in 2006, I went to a gas demand water heater. It took me 2-3 hours to install it & we have never looked back. No water sitting in a tank rusting out the bottom. No water heater kicking on & off whether it is being used or not.

Going that way soon. Our current 50gal. gas fed water heater is almost 11yrs old. Currently searching options

Man, I'm getting used to this working at home!

I went with a Rinnai. Granted is probably the most expensive of the bunch but I just went ahead & got the top of the line because I better things to do than work on it. Even occasionally. Got the one that will handle two showers + a dishwasher at the same time. I also went to a demand water softener at the same time. A Kinetico. Also probably the most expensive but not a bit of trouble with it in close to fifteen years. Went from 2-3 bags of salt a month to maybe one every 3-4 months.

Bad News !!!
They just postponed the Indy 500 !!!
That's a couple of weeks before HRPT,
and the Track is one of the stops.

[oletrux4evr]

Allen has the right point.....they can't race if they can't practice and qualify. That takes the entire month of May usually. We'll see about the PT.

[stroker al]

Have to agree with the Captain if 500 is called off then businesses probably won’t be open. Guess HRPT could be moved to late August. Tri-five Nationals should happen or at least I hope so!

[oletrux4evr]

That's getting pretty close to Drag Week.......

damn and I finally had tickets to go to the indy 500 this year

News this morning is that some states back east are now arguing about 14 day quarantines for people coming into a state from highly infected states.

Not sure we are back east, but Florida has check points set up on the interstates coming in from the west and north. They had at least threatened to use the national guard at airports to interview all passengers coming from high impact areas.

this entire virus thing is getting irrational.....so what if folks stay at home for 14 days, or 21 days, or whatever....would that solve the problem?.....so maybe they cancel the PT.....so what?.....the bottom line, seems to me, is that lots of folks are going to get sick, and lots (?) of folks are going to die.....what is anyone going to do about that?....

There isn't much you can do , other than Live life .
I'm sure much of the craziness is from the fear of liability , IF , any business didn't do as much as they could . I'd hazard a guess that many boardrooms with the board and the law teams happened .
What is now showing is that, those in the age group that were told are not at risk are dropping . The 10-45/50 age group.
I fear the medical field has no handle on this and are just throwing darts .
This is a good history lesson, as we now know why earlier pandemics spread, if the way people today are blowing off this one because of the talking point of more die from the flu. One can pretty much assume that the same attitude helped spread earlier one's throughout history .
I think our lack doing what we are told is best for us , because , well , it CAN'T happen to me. Will cause many more to get sick and sadly pass.

If no intervention and social distancing had occurred, it was estimated that upwards of 2 million Americans would die. That's a lot more than the 100-200k estimated now. If it saves that many lives, it's worth it.

We ALL want to "Ride Off Into the Sunset".

I just didn't have it planned to do it coughing, weazing, and having a machine breathing for me........till I croak.
I can wait another year if needed.
