Work tried to give me another one, and I just laughed and told them to keep it. Let them give you a second one. In fact this is a perfect excuse to do a movie quote and say, "I'll take two, they're small." The ones I have (quoting an old Brit sitcom) "ride up with wear." So I have experimented with wearing two, first one covers the chin but fails to reach the nose, second one covers the nose but falls short of the chin. Together it at least looks like full coverage. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sundays just really don't work for me since I spend my mornings at church and the afternoon doing family stuff. Sorry, I'll try for a combined Sat-Sun question next week. My tactic is post a weekend question/challenge with multiple questions/tasks on Friday for the whole weekend. I also would have a problem otherwise. 6 hours ago, TGP said: July 5: How many masks do you own? A few for protecting me when working with the resin for 3D Printing. One for work ( CBRN Mask) better known as a gasmask to most of you. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haldir Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 9 hours ago, TGP said: July 5: How many masks do you own? Gonna say maybe 18 or more. I've initially got a pack of like 8 gaiter style masks (skulls) for work, then I've picked up a couple from Teefury (1 is actually on its way + I've gotten 6 sports ones (UO Ducks x3 & Timbers FC x3). Glitterwolf reminds me I have R45( I think thats the code) for my resin printing as well. Oh & the previous question. I guess you could say quietness. Town is around 13000 people & really there is nothing here. One of the downsides of living on this side of the state. Thou, plus is that isolation, it has helped with the COVID19 stuff this year vs say Portland & its County 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGP Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 As I post this it is still Sunday in Honolulu (but only an hour left) Midway Island will be on Sunday for another two hours. The default Weather App on my phone provides a simple way to keep track of such things. It is just a matter of choosing a few key cities or locations to keep track the day and time in time zones of interest. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You managed to hit two of the more depressing things in my life. Right now I feel trapped where I am living. I am horribly homesick & searching for a reason to live. Having my cochlear implant fail when everyone is wearing masks means I not only can't hear, but I can't read lips either. Maybe tomorrow you can give me a paper cut & pour on some lemon juice. 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttuckerman Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 I would put the number at about a dozen. Four for wood working etc. (Have exhaust of unfiltered air. One even has dual cartridges) Four n95 masks (two with fabric covers) and four home made masks. I also have about a dozen in various states of uncompletion. For the fourth I wore an N95 with stars and stripes. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a p100 for airbrushing and the like, 2 n95s that came with my resin printer (I use the p100 instead), and must be up to a dozen or so cloth ones that fit me (my wife makes a smaller size for herself). Beyond that I don't believe I have any, although I do have stls for a Vader helmet...... 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CashWiley Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 14 hours ago, TGP said: July 5: How many masks do you own? I ordered a bunch from different places as soon as I saw the projected timeline for a vaccine. Best by far was oddly from Vistaprint. Land's End's are ok, slightly above the homemade kind that everyone else is selling. One of the first I got in was a ported one, which I quickly realized (before the guidelines said so) was no bueno because it only filters incoming air. Other than those, I have a few n95 for light shop chores and a respirator with a variety of cartidges for heavier stuff. And a Darth Vader helmet, for reasons. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MusicalFeline Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 16 hours ago, TGP said: July 5: How many masks do you own? I believe about two. A cloth mask my sister gave me, and a long-since forgotten paintball mask somewhere in the deep darkness of the basement. And I can steal as many surgical masks as I please from my job, so I guess that racks the count up to... Infinity. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManvsMini Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 17 hours ago, TGP said: July 5: How many masks do you own? One washable mask, a partial box of surgical masks leftover from taking care of someone undergoing chemo, and a handmade one that was gifted to me but I don't wear it because it seriously looks like it was made from someone's leopard-print thong. What I deeply desire is to make a replica of Bane's mask from The Dark Knight Rises that is fully functional for filtration. Or an Immortan Joe mask from Fury Road. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
