Hi Roy, just popping by to say hello. I am one week past my second Covid vaccine. It will be wonderful to roam about with some degree of safety. Although, we will continue to wear masks out in public. Hoping you and the Chef are in the same boat. D

Morning Roy.

WalMart is our biggest employeer in our area.  They have large offices that are vacant, with everyone operating from home. I wonder if and when they will open them again.
