Happy Friday!! How's everybody doing?

:  
I've been staying inside for the most part, living large as can be as a second tier citizen in a comu-facist society!  
How is everybody dealing with the state of things, vacation plans?

In two weeks off on our annual anniversary trip. Nothing big this year. A week at a house on a pond in Northern New Hampshire. Was good we got in our huge 35th anniversary trip before this all hit. That was October of 2019 and we hit Northern California for 2 weeks. Yosemite, Tahoe and Crescent city. Awesome trip. Northern California is beautiful. To bad the rest of the state is so messed up

you have to run contact tracing while visiting.
that is BIG EFFEN NOT GONNA HAPPEN.
one state that is politically worse than Cali, IMHO

A little over a week ago my wife decided we need to refinish the deck. It was peeling really badly and needed to be refinished. She borrowed her sisters 2000psi power washer and proceeded to strip the deck. The problem is that the previous owners used that crap rustoleum deck fix stuff. That stuff is so thick that it doesn't come off easily, until it starts to peel on it's own. We were at a point where we could reapply a solid stain and hope it lasts a year or two until it peels, or sand everything down. We chose to sand everything down. I rented a drum sander for the main deck surface last Friday. Yesterday I finished sanding the last stair risers. The whole deck is now stripped/sanded and ready for stain this weekend. I have a sense of accomplishment this Friday knowing we chose to do it the right way and all that sanding is finished.

I'll take some this weekend.

I have also gotten about 15 hours of tattoo work done in the last 2 months. Still probably have about 10-15 hours to finish to go to my left arm.
