Today Mainly sunny. Wind becoming south 20 km/h
gusting to 40 this morning. High 31. Humidex 35. UV index 10
or very high.
Tonight Partly cloudy. 30 percent chance of showers overnight
with risk of a thunderstorm. Wind south 20 km/h gusting to 40
becoming light overnight. Low 17.
I was wakened just after dawn by a fly tickling my head. I
had left doors open last night because I saw no flies around, but I
guess there are few and it only takes one to ruin a good morning's sleep.
I am tired today and am starting to get reestablished here. I have
bookkeeping to catch up.
Alberta receives serology test results for COVID-19 antibodies,
records 113 new cases
“This indicated that Alberta’s testing program had identified
about 17 per cent of cases in the population.”
With 113 new COVID-19 cases since Wednesday, Alberta
now has 1,408 active cases. Of those, 91 people are in hospital
and 18 people are being treated in intensive care units.
Five new deaths have also been reported. The latest fatalities
were three people in their 90s, a woman in her 80s and a woman
in her 70s, all in the Edmonton zone. The deaths have been linked
to the outbreak at the Good Samaritan Southgate Care Centre.
From
their website: "226 Long Term Care Suites With private and semi
private rooms, the residents that comprise this community are
frail elderly, elderly with dementia and cognitively alert seniors.
In addition to 24 hour nursing care, the facility offers occupational,
physical and recreational therapy as well as Pastoral Care, social
work and volunteer services."
"Frail elderly, elderly
with dementia" people dying. How does this become news--or
a concern for the safety of the young that justifies anything beyond
protecting the elderly???
Barb is working on the gardens and needs peat moss. I need
to go to the bank and get some vitamins, too so I am off to Three Hills.
I drove up and back and on the way I saw the check engine light occasionally.
It has been coming on and off for a while. I'll have to check the codes.
The van has issues, too. The air-conditioning has lost charge
again and its engine light is on, too.
I rolled down the driver's window when I was getting the peat moss
and it refused to roll up again so I drove home with the window down.
I'll have to pull the panel and I imagine some bolt has come undone.
I had supper and watched video until bed.

Today A mix of sun and cloud. Wind becoming
south 20 km/h gusting to 40 near noon. High 31. Humidex 36.
UV index 9 or very high.
Tonight Partly cloudy. 30 percent chance of showers this evening
and after midnight with risk of a thunderstorm. Wind south 20
km/h gusting to 40 becoming light this evening. Low 16.
I slept until 0755 and woke refreshed. I have nothing to do today,
so looked at the news. Next, I suppose i have to fix the car and the
van or start, I may cut some grass...

I came across this article and watched excerpts from the disgraceful
Barr inquisition and the MSM commentary. It is hard to imagine
that people can be so openly dishonest and bullying. These inquisitions
are simply disgraceful, and the commentary in the video is
disingenuous openly dishonest.
By questioning Barr, Democrats unmasked their policy
of betrayal
As for mail-in ballots, just think about it for one minute, and
if you are honest, you can see the problem. A ballot arrives
by mail. Who intercepts and opens it? Who fills it in? Who
is present and influences the choice when it is filled in and mailed?
In many cases, there is not problem, but consider the incapacitated
and the elderly and those who live in rural areas and tenements.
You don't have to be Einstein to see the problem. When people
go into a voting booth alone and mark a ballot, there is minimal
opportunity for undue influence and less possibility for easy tampering..

I am really of two minds about this WuWHOFlu and reading
does not help. There seem to be two camps: those who say it is
not very different from other viruses in circulation and those who want
a scorched earth approach.
I like the idea of not having any around, but suspect
that people are far too cautious and in ways that are invasive and do
not really change the chances of infection. masks, for example
do little or no good where there is no virus and that is pretty well
everywhere. Should we wear them all the time just in case? Some
people don't find masks an issue and even like them, but some of us
find they restrict breathing and are a nuisance.

C, Ce Ce and I walked around the outer streets again.
By the time we were back, it was getting hot.
I am stiff today.
Leaving doors open on Friday evening was ill-advised,
it seems. I sprayed for flies yesterday and will do it again today as
there are still a few left.

I spent the afternoon listening to my favourite tunes

In the lyrics
Frank says: "You know people, I'm not black, but there's whole

Today Increasing cloudiness. A few showers with
thunderstorms beginning near noon. Wind becoming northwest 20
km/h gusting to 40 this afternoon. High 29. Humidex 31. UV index
7 or high.
Tonight A few showers with thunderstorms ending near midnight
then clearing. Wind northwest 20 km/h gusting to 40 becoming
light this evening. Low 11.
I looked at the clock. 6:00. I got up. It's Monday of a long weekend.
Long weekends mean little to me except odd store hours and highway traffic
Friday and Monday nights.
I decided I need to get working on things. I have been adjusting
to being here, but I have been here four days now (Th FR Sa Su) and
done little.
I started on the books. I have to make sure I pay my bills
on time and when I travel, weeks pass like days. I'm behind again.
C emailed and wanted top walk so I agreed. Next I knew she
and Ce Ce were at the door. We walked all around town again. She
is seeing the value in walking and it did me me good, too. I have
been a bit groggy and achy the past few days. My balance has seemed
a bit off, too. I had another migraine yesterday. It was brief
and visual only. I've noticed some tingling in my arms lately and started
taking B12 again.
Today is cooler than yesterday so far. I'm catching up on the books
now.
From Lockdowns

4th
2020

Today Sunny. High 29. Humidex 31. UV index 9
or very high.
Tonight Clear. Low 11.
I got up at eight and got to work reconciling accounts.
My newer laptop has been getting slower and slower in spite of having
a fast processor, top rated components, and 16GB RAM. I searched and
did not find any useful tips, but suddenly it twigged.
I checked the free space on the 128 GB SSD C:\ drive and it was only
a GB or two, hardly enough for Windows to function well. No wonder.
So, I compressed the C:\ drive and moved the pagefile to the SSD One
TB D:\ drive and now C:| shows 26 GB free and things are back to normal.
Applications often assume they have privileges to install
on the system drive and even if they allow installing on a second
drive may be coded to store their data on the system drive.
It is bad programming, but we have to be aware of it and work around
it. Moreover, if special folders like Documents are moved,
some programs still assume that the docs are on C:\ and create another
Documents folder there, consuming precious space. Maddening!

Then I got to thinking about the upcoming FACS trip to Desolation
Sound planned for mid-September.
That got me thinking about my boats and since Cassiopeia is booked
for that slot, I needed to make sure Magic Moments is free. That
became a task, since apparently Colin wants the boat in Vancouver so
I wrote him. No answer. I then wondered about Cassiopeia and texted
Ormar about the battens.
Apparently he could not find the battens for the sail we put on Cassiopeia
just before I left and had sent the boat out on charter without.
He said he received no complaints, but he had not informed me.
I would still be in the dark and if I had not asked, I would not know.
Next I phoned Rick and he did not know where the battens are either,
so I phoned Precision Sails to find out what they should look like.
I suspect they are the hoop of battens we saw in the shack and which
Omar rejected. Ron will get back to me, he says.
So, now it is two and I still have to get at least one more month
reconciled before I can let myself off the hook for the day. But I have
tabs to close. There is too much to convey here, but if you want to
put your ear to the ground, read the smoke signals, or listen to the
jungle grapevine, turn off your TV and just click
here. There is signal and
there is noise.

Someone was asking about mead making. Here is the formula for those
with many friends or a big thirst...
Mead
Recipe
- 2/3 Drum Chlorinated Water
- 2 X 60 lbs honey -- liquefied and
pasteurized
- ~300 ml (~one cup) acid blend
- ~400 ml dibasic Ammonium Phosphate
yeast nutrient
(consumed by the yeast during fermentation)
- 3 tbsp sodium metabisulphite (kills
competing wild yeasts)
- 10 pkgs Lalvin EC-1118
Champagne Yeast
Add liquefied honey and metabisulphite
to water, stir, leave until chlorine dissipates (several
days) and temperature is stable at room temp. Add the rest
of the ingredients, following the yeast instructions carefully
(if you like).
Wait until the activity ends and the yeasts
settle out. The mead should taste somewhat grapefruity and
no longer sweet. Siphon into sterile jugs or a secondary
and leave loosely stoppered. When clear, filter.
For my purposes, melting the honey pasteurizes it well enough
for brewing. 125° F for four hours or 145° F for 30
minutes is sufficient to pasteurize milk, and those conditions
definitely assure melted honey. See
discussion of pasteurization
|
And
here is one for normal people...
But I learned a much better way to clarify the mead than
filter and it is much easier, cheaper, and quicker...
I
have been making some mead lately and I've gotten it down
to the basics. 12 lbs honey, enough water to make
up 5 gallons, 50ml of dibasic ammonium phosphate, and one
pack of EC-1118. After several days in the primary
-- a five-gallon pail -- I siphon it into a carboy and wait
until it stops bubbling. The I add a pack of kieselsol
and an hour later, the Chitosan. After a day or three,
it is ready to drink, but, of course the best plan is to
bottle it and wait a while.
All these things are available online or at your nearest
brewing retailer.

I heard from Colin, but he is texting and driving.
I suspect he is very stressed as his texts don't make sense. I told
him to not worry and the contact me later. I have not heard from Ron.

August 5th
2020

Today Sunny. Wind becoming south 20 km/h near noon. High
30. Humidex 32. UV index 9 or very high.
Tonight Clear. Wind south 20 km/h becoming light this evening.
Low 14.
I woke at three, got up a few minutes, went back to bed, slept a
half-hour and got up. I probably should not have eaten that chili before
bed.
I had breakfast and coffee, did some correspondence, and now, at
6 AM as the sun is rising in the north, am thinking of hitting the rack
again.
It is 6:50, the sun is up and I am still up. Looks like beautiful
day.
I did have a nap and then a driver called to get instructions to
deliver my new shorts ordered from Mark's Work Wearhouse. After
that, C and I walked around the town. We were both tired and cut
corners.
On arriving home, I had a visual migraine that cleared up after a
few minutes.

An Effective COVID Treatment the Media Continues to Besmirch
Here are two charts that seem to
prove something fairly conclusively.
(Of course, as with all charts,
we need to know what went into making them, and we don't).


Note:
hydroxychloroquine must be taken with zinc pills for best effect.
Hydroxychloroquine and Coronavirus ... Information I GUARANTEE
You've Never Heard
* * *
* * *
I've mentioned it before and maybe should mention again
that I carry azithromycin. hydroxychloroquine and zinc with me wherever
I go.
This cure was explained to me by Gillian back
in March. G is a nurse and treated herself for the worst flu/pneumonia
she had ever had a while back using this combination. She said she
was going downhill rapidly until she took the combination and then
suddenly got better fast.
At the time, in March, G figured she had maybe
been through the WuWHOFlu back in December in California but subsequent
testing in May said no. Who really knows though? The tests
are subject to error. Was the new flu in California before it was
recognized? Some say yes. The truth is out there... But who
knows? First liar never had a chance.
So this treatment is not unknown and unproven.
It has been reported many places for a long time, even before the
WuWHOFlu, it seems.
I carry it because I don't trust our medical
system. The doctors run in herds and follow fashion and this treatment
is not in fashion. This treatment is best administered early on
in the illness and our system waits until you are really sick to
act.
* * * *
* *
It's
spooky. Lately I have had a number of instances where I was about
to contact someone and they contacted me right then. Coincidence?
Yes, but a cluster of coincidences makes one wonder.
It happened again just now. I had a flash that
I should check to see if Dawn had booked me onto MM for the week in
September. I had spoken to her yesterday and so I looked online
and I saw it is not shown yet. So I was about to reach for the
phone when it rang. It was Dawn confirming details. Now it is listed.
I can board late Saturday. Will I use all that time? Probably
not.
* * * *
* *
After lunch, I went on a shopping spree on Amazon and
bought all the stuff I have been thinking I need to get, including,
believe it or not, prunes. They were a good deal, but nuts are
not.
* * * *
* *
Then I came across an article about the Cordero Channel
and I spent forty minutes dreaming about going there again complete
with checking tides and landmarks. Last time I was there was
Thursday August
24th 2017 with Bob on a trawler we were delivering and on which
he had bought some extra time for a few days in Desolation Sound and
north.
We went up through Arran route which is four miles longer
than Yaculta seeing as we were early and by that route avoided the worse
turbulence and also avoided the Gillard portion making the whole thing
a cake walk.
Even
with the detour we were early so I had a nap and we were then almost
late because Bob did not understand the importance of the timing and
failed to wake me on schedule.
I wondered if maybe the currents may had been less than
peak that day but I guess not. (right).
* * * *
* *
Speaking of those strange coincidences. I often
wake up to see an exact hour on the clock. Today at 1342 I was
thinking of going outside to do some work and thought, hmmm, probably
should avoid the solar noon due to UV peaking when the sun is near its
zenith. Wonder when solar noon is here, now?
I know it is not exactly 1200 and we have DST, too.
So I looked online and guess what? 1344. In Calgary. Here will
be a bit earlier since we are east a bit??? Dunno? Maybe 1342?
* * * *
* *
Somehow the entire afternoon went by reconciling one
credit card. Well, Medhat did call and we chatted quite a while.
I never did get around to vacuuming the vehicles or fixing the drivers
window roll up on the Merc.
It is 6:42 and I think I should quit soon. I'll watch
some Spanish and some video and go to bed early. I may take Benadryl
since I seem to be feeling an allergy or some sort. I want to
sleep well.
Denise had said she likes
FluentU when she and
Doug and I spent an evening in the cockpit at Saltspring so I
took a trial two weeks. It is the most expensive course I have
tried yet but it seems superior. We'll see. I told it I
am basic and so I have to go through some pretty basic stuff.
Maybe I should jump a level? Maybe not. I am learning a
bit and assume that will accelerate as we adjust.

I woke at seven after sleeping right through. I was groggy,
but that passed. I usually drink coffee, but yesterday decided
to try tea and so I had black tea.
C and Ce Ce and I went for a walk, but did the shorter route today.
We were both feeling tired.
I received a lot of items today including the tea strainers. I never
did like orange pekoe, but am enjoying this black tea.
I should have done it sooner but was not happy to have to log into
more accounts and the tracking that goes with all these services, but
I am weakening in that regard. I installed You phone on my Windows 10
laptop and find it is amazing.
I wasted some time on the Edmonton list today writing about mead
making.
At three, I drove to town and had my summer tires mounted and visited
the printer to enquire about printing the Salish Sea Guides. That
took and hour and I cam home.
I then vacuumed the van and rinsed the worst of the dust from the
door jambs.

Today I have to go to Calgary for an eye appointment. I have to
be in South Calgary at 2:45.
Now that we are seeing that the covid is not orders of magnitude
worse than a really bad flu year and that jurisdictions with draconian
measures are not doing statistically better than more casual jurisdictions
The pandemic promoters are grasping for excuses to mandate pretend
measures like insisting on masks where they are not useful. I noticed
that it it is now claimed that covid (The WuWHOFlu) is special compared
to our regular flus due to asymptomatic transmission so I Googled
and guess what?
Asymptomatic influenza transmission
Viral shedding
by asymptomatic persons occurs for around 3–4 days and by
symptomatic persons for around five days.5,7 The
amount of virus shed by asymptomatic persons was only slightly
less than that shed by those with symptoms.2,
Do Public Health and Infection Control Measures Work to
Prevent the Spread of Flu?
As many as 50%
of infections with normal seasonal flu may be asymptomatic,
which may in part be due to pre-existing partial immunity
[1]. Asymptomatic patients shed virus and can transmit the
disease, but not at the same rate as symptomatic individuals,
which creates an invisible “reservoir” for the virus. The
implication of this is that public health disease containment
measures and infection control measures, alone, may slow
but cannot stop a flu epidemic.
Influenza Transmission in Acute Health Care
A significant number
of asymptomatic people shed the influenza virus, thereby
exposing other individuals in their vicinity, according
to research presented at the 29th European Congress of Clinical
Microbiology & Infectious Diseases, held April 13 to 16,
2019, in Amsterdam
Another myth exposed. These are just the first articles
that caught my eye.
Sweden’s top virologist has a message on how to defeat coronavirus:
Open schools and no masks
People worry about the WuWHOFlu virus but I am more
worried about the BLM virus that is going around and seems highly infectious
and destructive
This is a really really good discussion between two
very smart people

I drove to the city and had my pressures checked.
Both eyes read 14, which is ideal and means the SLT operation worked

draconian
Draconian comes from Draco, the name
of a 7th-century B.C. Athenian legislator who created
a written code of law. Draco's code was intended to
clarify preexistent laws, but its severity is what made
it really memorable. In Draco's code, even minor offenses
were punishable by death, and failure to pay one's debts
could result in slavery.

Today A mix of sun and cloud. 30 percent chance of showers

Tonight Partly cloudy with 30 percent chance of showers this
evening. Becoming clear overnight. Risk of a severe thunderstorm
this evening. Low 7.
I woke at six and spent the morning researching holding tank treatments.
Apparently Cooper Boating has had some blockages and the most recent
is on Magic Moments. They panicked and want me to spend $900 (estimate.
Would be more) on a macerator pu mp
and installation. I said, "Whoa". There are simpler solutions.
I'm having a few friends over for supper tonight so have to get ready
for that.
I went out to burn some trash and noticed I have bees, robbers by
the looks of it.
I bought three masks in Mexico and wear them occasionally around
here when required or to keep Karen off my back. I washed them
today and was surprised at the amount of dirt that came out.
My friends came for supper at six. Supper was pressure-cooked
ribs, baked potatoes, and broccoli and cauliflower. There were
four of us.
We sat around until nine-thirty and they left. I did the dishes,
watched more of Ultraviolet and went to bed.
Ultraviolet has proven to be strictly formulaic but I find
it watchable, Several episodes brushed on the nasty currently
ubiquitous running and brutality memes, but the series veered away
from that and is largely free of nastiness except for the part in
each episode seven minutes from the end where Ola's life is in immanent
danger, but the cavalry always shows up in the nick of time.
This story outline a popular and easy fairytale theme that
never grows old. I watch Ultraviolet because the people are pleasant
and easy to look at, the camerawork is acceptable, the locations
interesting, and the scripts and culture are intriguing as they
are Polish.
Polish is very different to my ear from other languages although
the sounds are similar to others.. I don't recognize any word
similarities, even to languages I've heard from nearby countries.
The peculiar exception is that yes and no seem to sound opposite
to the sounds in some other languages.

World's Top Epidemiologists - Masks Don't Work!
Except they are great for virtue-signaling
At eight, I was tired and had a forty-minute nap.
After, I did some more reconciliation and cleaned up the computer
a bit, then ordered some black water tank product and had another
nap, this time for two hours. I am beat today. I only
slept about five or six hours last night so maybe that is it.
Otherwise I am feeling great.
This time I ordered the product to Powell River. It will arrive
at a 'locker' about the same time I arrive if all goes according to
plan. Then I ordered another to Sidney for Cassiopeia.
I also played with Virtualbox and set up two Linux visions,
Ubuntu and Mint and a virtual Chromebook.
6 Questions an Honest, Intelligent Reporter
Would Ask Dr. Fauci About COVID-19
1. How is COVID-19 a novel virus?
2. Why should we worry about COVID mutations?
3. Doesn’t COVID-19 behave like SARS?
4. Why not give patients hydroxychloroquine and zinc?
5. Doesn’t the wide range of symptoms make sense?
6. How does the government respond to broader immunity
than you expected?
This is not a novel virus and it
works in ways very similar to SARS. Cytokine storms have
been studied for years and there are some good therapies
available. Death rates are falling likely because
doctors and patients are employing these therapies.
The PCR type test looks for pieces of
the COVID-19 virus RNA. It does not determine whether
the virus is alive or dead. A T-cell response would
leave viral debris in the body for some period of time

More Than 84,000 Mail In Ballots Disqualified In New

...And they say Trump is exaggerating the risk of voting
by mail? The Democrats just demonstrated how right he
is.

Furious Democrats Faced With A Daunting Question: Will They
Dare To Challenge Trump's Stimulus Orders
Dems just outmaneuvered themselves with their delays.
Dare they challenge him?
People underestimate Trump. He is a winner. Can't stop
himself from winning. It is instinctive.
It is looking more and more to me that Trump is about to
play his trump in the endgame. he is no fool and I would not
say that abut the Dem leadership. . It was clear to me that
he would win the last time and I'd bet on him winning by
more than a nose this time. Cancel culture has
silenced the opposition, but there is a lot of pent-up quiet
disgust and anger against the Dems and that will be
expressed in the solitude and privacy of the ballot box.
One other thing. Everyone thinks the
Dems plan to run Biden. Obviously that would be crazy.
I'm not sure even Biden believes it. I'm guessing he is a
place-holder and they will pull him near the end for medical
reasons (if he does not have a convenient 'attack' of
something) and the subsequent excitement of choosing a new
Dem candidate will overshadow the presidential race until
the stretch. reframing the contest and putting them ahead in
the public mind. Mindshare is everything.
I ordered a borescope.

Words of the Day
morphic resonance
...holds as a basic property of nature
that forms and patterns are contagious: that once something
happens somewhere, it induces the same thing to happen
elsewhere.
