Haha doc doesn’t think Covid in the slightest! He thinks water bacteria. Says I should have filtered AND treated my water (I just treated w drops). Have to get a test to see what kind of bacteria but relieved. When I told him his staff was certain I had Covid he just chuckled. I love my doctor. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Our beets are coming in nicely this year. We planted a mix of Detroit Red and Golden. This is just about 5% of our total beet crop. Pumped to cook these tonight.

The Phillies can’t even beat a team that is half sick

A handful of NFL players opted out of this season today after the Marlins situation...more likely than not more will in the coming days. I’m most impressed with the guy from the Chiefs (forget his name) who opted out to put his medical degree to use and work with COVID patients in care centers.

Clamydia? You can get it from beavers.

This season is going to end fairly quickly....

And a UV wand.

I read about that earlier today. Sounds like they have a second steam locomotive restored and ready to go too. @JFskiDan loves a good steamer.

Excursion train from Jim Thorpe thru the Lehigh gorge starting up. No word on the resolution to the entertainment tax issue.

Cryptosporidium. And thanks for that tip @Johnny Law new to all this stuff so any advice always welcome.

@toast21602 I have a sawyer mini but it’s a pain to filter to another bottle. It does fit on a smart water bottle so you can drink right from it. I just ordered a katadyn be free gravity filter since I am planning a Grand Canyon trip (lots of sediment) and heard sawyers don’t hold up well in it. I used Aqua Mira drops on my last trip and they are supposed to protect against giardia and the other one (starts with a C). It is funny you mention Beavers @Johnny Law because our last night we camped next to a beaver dam and I got my water from near there.

Sawyer squeeze is the backpacking standard....there are others though... Also I know some filters do not filter out virus..... I use Aqua Mira drops and never had a problem....but thats just me...

Sending positive vibes your way Barb. You're one of the toughest people I know so whatever this is won't stand a chance.

How many more NFL players opt out this season because of this?

14 marlins players/coaches/personnel tested positive, their game tonight got cancelled, team is staying in Philly. Not a good look for the MLB right now. also opened the door for exposure to philly airport employees, hotel staff, CBP staff, etc etc

Took a short hike around my area and found remnants of the old railroad next to the existing active one.

I have been feeling like garbage since I got back from my trip. Even had a fever for a few days. Called my doc this morning to get an appt. told them I was backpacking and maybe I have a water bacteria based something or tick bite etc. They immediately connected me to the “Covid nurse” and she asked me a bunch of questions. I have a video appt w my doc in a few hours but the nurse told me to quarantine because “she is sure I have Covid”. I have so many problems with this; what if I was a complete anxiety ridden person and her telling me that is sending me over the edge. It also seems like every single symptom now is a Covid symptom. Have a feeling my doc will prob send me for a test. And yes, I will be responsible of course and quarantine in the meantime. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
