Re: Original Mobley Obsolete?
Hello,everyone :-) My location eliminated 3G last fall. But just in the last few weeks my two mobleys have been dropping internet connection more often than usual. Does this mean it's time for me to finally get a hotspot? Which one? Or is it too late? Do I need to get the unlock codes from AT&T? Is it possible to do that through some website or something and not by using the phone? Appreciate any advice!742Views0likes0CommentsRe: Alternators and Lithium Batteries
Mexxxxxxxx!!!! I'm so glad to hear from you, and so sorry that you are feeling horrible and so glad that you are getting care! I'm not around here much lately, but I heard from Mr tuna that you were MIA, and I have been anxiously awaiting word.696Views0likes0CommentsRe: summer in a national forest
Were you folks like this after the first 9/11, too? Did you make fun of the president when he shut down the airports? Did you call up your congresscritters and tell them you opposed the hunt for Osama bin Laden, and that people die every day and the bombing was no big deal? Or were the first 3,000 people more important than 300,000? I realize it's frightening to admit to yourself that something is dangerous. It's so much easier to stick your head in the sand and go about business as usual and pretend nothing is happening. It takes a lot of courage to admit what is going on in this country, that we are having a 9/11 every single day, 7 days a week, and that you might be next. But I think if you look within yourself you will find the courage to accept that the world really has changed.615Views0likes0CommentsRe: summer in a national forest

We are not going to get everyone vaccinated, so we will have to continue precautions for some time. Certainly through next summer.613Views0likes0CommentsRe: summer in a national forest
I had covid in March. I had an extremely mild case, didn't have to go to the hospital or anything. Wasn't even sick enough to be in bed, most of the time. In early July, I was 98% better, when I got hit with the infamous month 4 relapse. I got much worse. Had to be on a steroid inhaler for my lungs, which I am still on. Forest fires in September made me worse again. I can only be out of bed for about an hour a day now. And it's been 9 months of this. Most people don't die from covid, but most people still have symptoms months later. And for people who have no symptoms at all, 52% of them have heart damage and they don't know it until they get tested. We don't know if covid is going to be like smoking, where everyone thought they were ok, until their friends started dropping dead decades later. You can go out and catch it if you want, but I don't recommend it. It's not really all that fun.618Views0likes0CommentsRe: summer in a national forest
Wow. Arizona setting, on a forum where most people are in high-risk groups, and not one mention of covid precautions. I mean, even if they said that their assumption is that 99.9% of US residents will be vaccinated by the time this job starts, at least that would be something. It would be a weird assumption, but it would be something.617Views0likes0CommentsRe: Flying to the USA and shipping car
35-55% have people who get a mild case of covid and don't need the hospital, are still sick months later. 92% of people who are hospitalized are still sick, months later. 50% of people who have no symptoms at all have heart damage. I'm in the first group. I had an extremely mild case of covid in March. I never even had a fever. Just a bit of a cough. I was able to keep working at home. My doctor had me decreasing my steroid inhaler dose, phasing it out, when I had a relapse in July. I learned that a relapse in month 4 is very common. It made me worse than I was with the original illness. 8 months later, I'm on the highest dose of steroid inhaler. I can be out of bed an active for 1 hour per day. Then I run out of air and it takes me 23 hours to recover. I'm alive, but it's not much of a life. I don't recommend it.500Views0likes0CommentsRe: Any one else giving up snow birding due to the covid
I came home early, in March. I think I will be going south again, but a few months later than usual. And I won't go as far as I usually do from my S&B. That's partly due to where covid is under control and where it isn't. It's partly about not wanting to be very far from my parents, because they are older. And the timing, leaving later than usual, is because I want to wait and see what happens after the election. I feel like I need to be near my family, in uncertain times.248Views0likes0CommentsRe: How do I get a colder freezer?
I'm glad I was helpful! Even without opening the door, having air space makes a big difference. I guess because the air circulates and warms up at the walls of the freezer. My experiments have been mainly about how long I can go without power. A full freezer stays frozen for 3.5 days at reasonable exterior temperatures. But a half full freezer doesn't stay frozen for even 24 hours, even if I don't open it at all. Conclusion: A half full freezer requires a constant input of power to keep it cold. And if the power input isn't enough, it's just not going to be cold. With the low power of some freezers, it -would- take a long time to freeze a bunch of water. I would probably add one bottle per day, rather than adding them all at once, unless I didn't have any food in there to worry about :-).797Views0likes0Comments
