Last week was the first time in six months I found 91% isopropyl alcohol too. If it's any consolation... Even large suppliers are having issues keeping it in stock. We have our sources, but we're regularly being back ordered, and even then maybe 1 in 5 customers that orders it through us winds up getting any. One company I deliver to wound up striking a deal with a local distillery for hand sanitizer for example, just so they could start bringing more employees into the building slowly, through multiple phases. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuroneko Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 @redambrosia if you even suspect that you have pneumonia, then you need to get some medical attention asap. I'm not scaremongering here, but that stuff can make you go downhill fast @ManvsMini, unfortunately that ain't Loki, it's his little (4 pounds lighter!) brother, Kurogane. We tried to put it on Loki and he just fell over and refused to move. He has too much dignity for such nonsense 17 minutes ago, Thoramel said: If I tried this with my black cat, or any of my cats for that matter, I'd be going to the hospital for some stitches. You either have the most docile cats in history or some really good protective gear. Although the look you're getting in that last picture looks like someone is plotting revenge. He's a lovely combination of sweet natured and incredibly lazy. The only time that he's ever scratched me is when he's been startled by a noise outside and I was holding him. You don't want to be a bug anywhere near him though, those are dealt with quickly and ruthlessly. He might be adorable, but he's still a cat after all :) 12 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haldir Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 I keep threatening my wife that I'm going to order this for Christmas yard decor: She obviously doesn't care for yard inflatables & she is lucky I'm not into Christmas!! 4 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brother has been supplying us, as he lives in a city about 45 miles away, so we usually meet up halfway and do a swap. 32 minutes ago, Kuroneko said: @ManvsMini, unfortunately that ain't Loki, it's his little (4 pounds lighter!) brother, Kurogane.

Loki is more likely to turn it around and figure out how to put the outfit on you or your housemate. If Kurogane doesn't like his hat, those pictures make him passable for Toothless from How to Tame Your Dragon. 5 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pegazus Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 1 hour ago, LittleBluberry said: @Pegazus, I would happily take that snow from you. Being trapped inside due to wildfire smoke really sucks when most of the normal places to escape to are restricting access. Who said anything about not having wildfire smoke? The hope is that the snow has put out the infernos that completely obscured the mountains during the drive back from NM! Seriously, they are just 10 miles away for most of the way and were barely visible because of the haze. I’m sure the particle counts have gone down with the precipitation, but it may be too much to hope it’s reached safe levels for people with medical conditions. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been causing everything to lag massively and behave oddly, so I eventually abandoned it to the mercies of Windows in disgust and did the rest of what I needed to do on my phone. Huzzah! --OneBoot :D I did have an update on Saturday that took a couple hours of my precious free time. Could be it that's screwing everything up. Updates usually seem to make things worse, in my opinion... 7 hours ago, Pegazus said: Ah.... another lovely, cool summer day in Colorado.

Green Eyed Monster Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 2 hours ago, LittleBluberry said: I do have a little color wheel, GreenStuffWorld sent it in an order once. I just... Well let's just say that while I know how to mix colors, I'm not good at mixing highlight or shadow colors that look right with existing colors. (Especially for cloth where I'm trying to do nice blends.) I'm going to try and push myself, but I've been relying on triads for a long while. @Pegazus, I would happily take that snow from you. Being trapped inside due to wildfire smoke really sucks when most of the normal places to escape to are restricting access. Highlight and shadow need white and black mixed into the baseline color for each end of the scale. Only takes a little bit to move the color value a considerable distance. Experiment and remember "happy accidents". 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haldir Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Golden Gate Bridge at 10 am this morning.....wow! https://twitter.com/i/status/1303750496541241345 Read elsewhere, it was orange, but no smoke smell in the area due to the marine layer. Crazy 2020!! Any of our SF bay area guys have pics?? 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Eyed Monster Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 (edited) As hoped, the Santa Ana wind from the weather system that snowed on Colorado has swept most of the smoky air out of our valley. But not before it totally clobbered my throat and sinuses. I can barely croak today. So glad to hear that Brutus's problem is treatable. BatCat is very cute. The "decorative" snow looks nice. And I can't emphasize enough @redambrosia that if you suspect pneumonia, get it checked out. Once you have a pneumonia you become more susceptible to subsequent infections, so this is nothing to mess with.

pcktlnt Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 I did not bother to take too many outdoor shots today since what I saw at 6am is the same as what I see now. Lol. I am losing track of time in this orange haze. Two shots from yesterday. This was yesterday at 7am And then at 1130am 2 1 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
