You flatten the curve without a vaccine by letting it run its course with the people already infected WHILE THEY STAY AWAY FROM THOSE WHO AREN’T. So they don’t get THEM sick therefore not spreading it to OTHER people they know.

I 100% agree with this statement, my only reservation is, is it a one and done flu?

 

Does your body build an immunity to it like most flus where you never catch it again, making you no more of a threat to spread it? 

 

Does anyone really know how many strains may have mutated from the original, and how many can you catch in the future? Some are very sick, is this the strain that makes you completely immune from any others, where as the mild symptoms mean you may catch a couple of other versions?

How old is your iPod, and last time it was updated?

Maybe 15 years and there's no way to update an iPod Classic. ?

Not unless they start making it again in 20 years or so.....

 

I bought a new one 3 or 4 years ago, they are pretty much an iPhone now without the phone part. Or you could always load up all of your songs on your phone and use it as an iPod.

 

Works well with the truck and my Bose Bluetooth speakers in the garage.

Unfortunately, I don't think my phone will hold all my music because it barely fits on my 80 GB iPod. I do have a "brand new" 160 GB iPod Classic that's mint-in-box that I bought several years back but I want to save it until my current iPod dies completely because you can't buy this style any more, like you say.

At this point, I would never open it, check eBay and see what they are going for used, and see if there are even any brand new ones listed.

 

Might be worth some money someday, and there is a good chance the latest version of iTunes might not even work with it.

I found something last night, wish I would have found it last year when it started.

 

If you have XM, full subscription with the App on your phone, channel 757 is the Tragically Hip channel.

 

Looking forward to listening to it this long weekend coming up.

Nice! Thanks! I'll probably start up the truck this weekend just to make sure everything's running well so I'll have to remember to program that to my favourites.

I have two iPods. One very old, the other a little newer. Between the two 6K songs. Backed up with mp3 disk. The oldest has had two batteries replaced. Since I discovered IHeartRadio and Pandora, I fire them just to see if they still work.

Don't think the trucks go that high in channels, the way XM is set up is pretty much so you have to pay for certain packages to get the good stuff.

 

I did find the Hip channel, 757 on the XM App on my iPhone which I can stream through the truck.

Oops, I misread your post originally. Our data plans in Canada suck so I doubt I would steam from my phone while driving but I suppose I could listen to it while I'm working from home since listening to music on YouTube sucks.

Found out last night a local business owner, little Mexican restaurant about a mile away from our house died over the weekend. Believe he was early 40's.

 

Getting closer every day, just wondering what will really happen when they turn everybody loose again?

It will probably spike a bit. Texas continues to slowly have more cases. It’s a bug that will fine most people sooner or later. That’s the reality. May be some mitigation meds. to lessen the effects. A cure isn’t likely. Or we could hide until there’s nothing left. Bug, jobs, money, etc.

I’m wondering the same thing. Either will be too soon and cases spike again or everything is ok and continues on the downtrend.

What happens this coming fall? Another lockdown? No worries as It has run its course for the majority?

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      New tires are on, Cooper Discoverer Road+Trail AT's in 235/75/15. $100 per tire, after $10 AAA discount. Plus install ($100), disposal fees, and taxes.   The new tires ride nice. Catch 22, new tires, I love it again! But I feel like I've been through the wringer with this rig, and maybe I don't need this kind of headache right now. Wait until tomorrow, I'll probably love it again and keep it another week.   Never a dull moment: Got a CEL driving to the tire shop, P0172 bank 1 too rich. Oh lordy, really? I've been enjoying an emoji-free dash for too long, apparently. I popped the hood at the shop and I think there was a vacuum leak very close to the intake. Cleared the code and put a bunch of miles on it going home, code never returned. My fix was zip-tying the line on the vacuum reserve ball because the hose won't stay seated. It's either that or the fuel pressure regulator has an issue again or an injector is leaking. See why I'm getting tired of this one?!   In the gas price thread I recorded 19mpg on the last tank in fairly mixed driving and some higher-speed highway (70). I also don't have the lower engine shield installed right now, and that would help with diverting a lot of wind underneath the truck.   Not too long ago, a green '96 4-door 4x4 came up for sale with less than 1,000 actual miles. There was a story there but it was real, and the place wanted like $25k for it. Would be fun to have a NICE example of one of these, but not too nice. The joy is driving them.   That's it for a while...family and social stuff all weekend, no time to play with my Hot Wheels in the garage for the next couple of days.

      $5.19 after Kroger discount for 87 today. Moses!   Somehow I've already put 560 miles on the Blazer with the last tank clocking 19mpg.

      Oil dipstick

      By Stu Katz · Posted

      I have a 91 GMC SIERRA 1500 4.3 liter. My dipstick broke. Can someone tell me how long is the oil dipstick. Local Part stores do not stock the oil dipstick. If someone can tell me the length. I can match up an aftermarket one. Thank you.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Assembling a Word Puzzle   A sentence in a famous sermon says:    “Happy are those conscious of their spiritual need, since the Kingdom of the heavens belongs to them".   Forget it was a sermon and forget its religious nature. Assemble the puzzle. What did he say? I'm only going to unravel the part underlined.... Keep it simple and out of the ditch. It's a word puzzle not a religious class. I'm not writing a book. Okay..   By saying that people conscious of that stated need will receive; the implication is that there are also people that are not conscious and thus deprived.   But this one sentence also says that ALL people have this need, not just the ones aware of it.   NEED will try to lead you to satisfying it. You're thirsty, you seek water. You're hungry, you seek nourishment. You're cold, you find cover. Lack of awareness is a choice. So when he says "conscious' he isn't saying simply aware but aware and active in satisfying that need.    That's allot of information for eight words. This man knew how to craft a sentence...   Give that some thought the next time you read an advertisement or a book.

      Gas fill door

      By snowblind · Posted

      My gas fill door does not stay closed. Not sure what happened, but it works its way to about a inch open every trip. Need a fix to this. 2020 Silverado 1500.
