Good day to all!

Sorry for being so late today, as it is currently 9.25pm and as a true HAL cruiser, I will be retiring to bed soon.  DW is watching Bridgerton (?) on Netflix.

I thought I would share a snow picture with you.  This was our garden this morning.  We rarely get snow here, and an amount like this would have been enough to bring traffic gridlock if we were not already in lockdown and there is very little traffic.  It would be a good bet that this will be the only snow we will have for at least 12 months. Or to put it another way, I hope to have at least 2 cruises done before it snows here again.  ☺️

Just watched first episode of Bridgerton  on Netflix. Jury is still out, will try one more episode. I was a huge downton Abby fan so I thought I might like this, too. I just finished broadchurch, all three seasons and would gladly watch three more.

Thanks for the recommendation.  We will add it to our list.

Did you watch Queen's Gambit?  that was really good (as was the soundtrack!)  It is difficult to find movies/series that do not have body parts hitting the camera and unnecessary violence and gore.

I wonder how some of these are working.  The territories in particular pose a particular challenge and I know the Pfizer vaccine comes in vials of 6 doses that must be used very quickly after they leave the deep freeze.  I wonder if the Yukon folks were people who were already going to bigger cities for health checks and getting vaccinated in the process.

 

Roy

 

I think for distant areas, which do not have the necessary deep freezers, they are sending the Moderna vaccine, but those three in the Yukon could definitely have gone elsewhere for their jabs.

How 'bout "The Crown?" We've got season 1 and 2 on DVD and liked them both. Hoping season #3 will be available on DVD soon

My appliance guru was able to repair mine when it started sounding like a rocket engine during the spin cycle. The bearings? 
 

It is an LG - my guru said LG’s washer & dryer are the only two appliances of theirs he recommends. He also told me that I should never use more than two tablespoons of liquid detergent - and then only if it is a full load.

 

OK, I have hit rock bottom. I am discussing laundry on CC. Sigh.

Question for Canadian Dailyites--How do Canadians feel about the vaccines.  Do you have as many anti-vaxxers as we do?

 

Roy

We definitely have anti-vaxxers, but they are viewed as a lunatic fringe minority. It was an in fad among certain groups for a while, as long as there was no actual threat of infectious disease, but that was replaced by newer fads like ‘part time Vegan’ some time ago.

There is a larger group who want the vaccine, but also want to wait for the bugs to be worked out of the distribution roll out.

Another incurable stove victim! If not too late - stay away from LG.

Noooo..... mine is an LG! What evil did yours do?

The touch controls pad stopped working for certain burners. Here was the tough message I had to swallow - my guru could have easily repaired it, if LG had not stopped making parts for a 7 year old stove.  
 

Let’s just say I was upset.

The latest I can gather from local news is that WA state will start vaccinating those over 70 at the end of this month.  At least that's the goal.  I guess I won't complain about turning 70 this month!  😄  We still have to vaccinate residents of nursing homes etc. so we'll see if that goal is met but I'm happy to be somewhere near the top.

 

 

Wow!  This month?  Where did you see that?  That would be great!  I'm a SnoCo resident also and, although I don't have a cruise booked 'til August, was hoping to get both jabs ASAP to have time to recover from possible side effects and to develop the immunity.

We have an LG washer/dryer and when we purchased them we were told the same thing.

I second The Queens Gambit. It was fascinating

Thanks Rich and Roy for the daily reports.

Am late to post today, we have been delivering "Meals on Wheels" to housebound folk, then lunch in town and did some messages.

Stay safe and well everyone.

My sister is spending her 65th birthday tomorrow driving half way across Washington to give vaccines for two days. 
 

My PCC did some magic and got my Alaska trip moved to another ship this morning so that was encouraging. 

Thanks Rich, Roy and everyone for the thread.

When mine broke I could use the burners if I plugged it in, but there was a constant beeping that went along with it.  I had a lot of take out while I waited for the new one.  I don't think you were on back then, but it all started when I went to clean the oven using the self clean feature.  Never clean your oven!

 

I didn't know about steam clean.  Mine has a built in air fryer.
