To Mask or Not To Mask, Protecting Others or Not Protecting Others, A Controversy!


I believe that wearing a mask is a responsibility and not in any way an abridgment of my freedom.   I'm in a high risk category due to age, I don't want to get the virus nor do I want to give the virus. Ergo I feel wearing a mask is a good idea and far better than causing someone else to be wearing a ventilator.   Here are some masks that work for me and might work for you.  There are some with a flag pattern that might make the folks who feel masks are un-American feel better. 


Ear Loops Make Sense, June 19, 2020
I have several gaiters and I find myself pulling them up all the time. The ear loops on this one make so much sense. I also like how it is long enough to tuck into my shirt color. An added bonus is the wide variety of pleasing colors it comes in.



 I find that ear loops are important on the gaiter type of mask.  I don't find myself pulling it up or fidgeting with it a lot.  I particularly like the long in front and short in back.  It doesn't bunch up as much as the strictly tubular ones.  The material is cool and doesn't make me sweat as much as some other masks.  I do feel a little more elasticity to the material so it fit more snugly would be better but that really wasn't a problem.






These masks should work just fine.  The ear loops fit over the ears appropriately.  My only concern is that this material does not fit as snugly as some of my other gaiters.  I've got a big head, go ahead I'm aware of the humor, this is loose on me.  I think a smaller person would feel the need to pull up on it regardless of the ear loops.  These are tubular and not shorter in the back and longer in the front.  I find the ones with a short back and a longer front work better for me.

Samsung FlipShot-ho hum

I just got the Samsung FlipShot aka SCH-U900. If you haven’t noticed by now, I am very family oriented, specifically focused on grandchildren. I frequently lament that I don’t have my camera on me. However, I always have my phone on me. Thusly I wanted a phone with a decent camera. The FlipShot comes close. Samsung claims it is a 3 megapixel camera with flash and zoom. The photos are not what I would consider decent from a digital camera but compared to my last phone/camera, they are much better. The phone has a slot for a micro sd memory card. I popped a 2gb card in there for saving my photos. I have not been able to find a way to default the photos to the memory card. You have to manually move them. I haven’t given up and perhaps in a software upgrade there will be a way to get them to the card without moving them manually. Getting them off of the phone is interesting. If you don’t buy Samsung’s charging/data cable, you can send them to yourself and get them on your pc that way. You ...

Troy-Bilt 2700 PSI 2.3 GPM Gas Pressure Washer Review

Troy-Bilt 2700 PSI 2.3 GPM Gas Pressure Washer Review Item #: 75140 | Model #: 20414 When I started this blog, I assumed I would be only talking tech. Well that led to philosophic musing and then comments on other stuff. I’m not sure where a pressure washer fits but regardless I am writing about it. I was power washing the mildew off the siding and thought the odor was the detergent I was using. When I looked over my shoulder and saw the grey smoke pouring out of the pressure washer, I realized what the odor really was. Considering the age of my venerable electric power washer, I concluded that discretion being the better part of safety and how water and electricity don’t play well, I trashed my old power washer. After much research, I found the Troy-Bilt 20414 was the best bang for the buck I could find. Keep in mind I am a consumer, not some testing house, so I make my purchases based on research and price point. I wanted electric but my boys who participated in the purchase, ...
