Squash time. Picked about half of the ripe squash on the vine. A lot of butternut and honey boat squash this year. Temps cooling a bit and squash season is getting me excited for fall.

Pretty pumped that you still get to go even with all of COVID stuff and health stuff that popped up for. Looking forward to the incoming pictures 🙌

I am finalizing all the covid hoops I have to jump through for my trip next week. Had to upload our vaccination cards, then fill out a very detailed form for contact tracing purposes. Was then emailed a QR code I need to scan to enter Switzerland. We have a layover in Frankfurt and Germany just increased their levels of restrictions. Since we will not be entering Germany, I just have to fill out another form. I also made our appointment for our covid test to reenter the US as there are only 3 places in Zermatt that offer this service and I didn't want to wait until we got there, just in case. The airline did not send me any of this information, it just said it was the travelers responsibility to know all entry requirements of the countries traveled to. I admit, it was not an easy process to figure out, and I hope I have everything I need.

There are two categories of people: those who have had Covid, and those who will have Covid.

Dams are cool. We used to slide down this one in Harford County MD when I was a kid.

We're in September. We ski in November. So only one more month without skiing!!

Sort of reminds me of the payroll protection program process...we had almost no guidance from the bank or my accountant so I researched everything online, filled out all the forms and submitted everything and three weeks later it was approved.. Barb I’m looking forward to your trip report. I’m jonsing to travel..it’s been a grueling 4 month stretch at work since my Colorado trip.

crazy, hopefully no more curveballs. sounds like you've got it under control. enjoy the trip!

My wife got covid and is vaccinated, and for her it has just been like a mild cold. Maybe it would be much worse if she weren't vaccinated. I'd say go to the gym and workout and as long as you aren't hanging out with a high risk unvaccinated person you are all good. You've done your part by being vaccinated, and keeping healthy by exercising is important too. If you are worried or extra cautious you could always stick to running or do bodyweight exercises outside.

Boulder County reinstating indoor mask mandates today. I have been wearing one indoors for about 2 weeks now mostly out of peer pressure. I was getting some death stares in the grocery store unmasked.

You would be fine with pretty much the cheapest plan they have. If you want to stream in 4K, maybe get the second cheapest. 2-3 devices online and not significant upstream load, you don’t need much.

I'm not an expert at all, but I have the cheapest internet offered for my area and it is more than enough for anything that I need it for (streaming TV, security, internet, etc.). Not sure if that helps without specifics of upload and download speeds but I don't know that off the top of my head.

From the allentown fair last night. This guys mask will save him from the Wuhan Flu.
