Just wait till you get to do business in your underpants, and never have to shave. You'll never go back.

Just like being here on TBR.

Oh great.   Just the imagery I wanted to wake up to.  (eeeuww)

I thought about lining up in my office with the six gun cabinets as background.  But I went for the recliner in the corner instead.

And I might add... Only WACKER (my main whip) has mic and vid, and the only standing Skype connection. And I STRICTLY will not wake her up until 9:15am... I may not be pretty, but nobody wants to see me before then.

Evening is a different thing - I have to be around for clients till pretty late - A lot of my guys are outside sales and don't even land at the motel till 7pm... which if WA/OR means 8pm my time...

Sometimes I don't get done till midnight. And that's just the coms.

I started working from home yesterday.  Little did I know that my little Jack Russell dog was so needy....lol.  Kind of hard to work with her in my lap.

We are actively looking for oil production as these (Lord willing), once in a lifetime low prices.

I have done this before, when we had a start up a few years back.
I did it for about 4 months.
There are pluses and minuses, as you know.
Measuring compressor valves in my garage was fun.
Buying boxes from local box stores, and taking them to UPS to send parts out.
All was kind of fun, but a lot of extra work involved.
Still had dial up internet and had to run a cord from the kitchen phone jack to my computer in the living room to get internet.

LOL, I am thinking of a big Gonzales flag, like my avatar, especially when it's the home office from Germany calling.

Now I like that.  I had my daughters start buying me Flags from Texas War for Independence last year.  I could do a daily rotation.

LOL! Different now.. I drop-ship... Never have to leave the command center.
And really, I am in full control right now, and I ain't even in the command center...
I am sitting at the table eating my breakfast operating all of it from my laptop...
Then I'll take my 3rd cup out on the porch before I get back to Wacker.

Pretty groovy.

Thursday’s coronavirus update: The region’s first death, a new testing center, and Texas’ public health disaster

Houston Chronicle by  Dylan McGuinness and Zach Despart March 19, 2020

https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-texas/houston/article/Harris-County-reports-first-coronavirus-death-15143802.php

The number of new coronavirus cases statewide saw its single largest jump Thursday, as Harris County marked its first death and Texas declared a public health disaster for the first time in more than 100 years.

A man, in his 80s, died Wednesday night at a Harris County hospital. The nursing home resident’s case had been confirmed earlier that day, according to Dr. Umair Shah, the county’s public health director.

The man is the fifth Texan to die with COVID-19, the disease caused by the virus. Another man was reported dead Thursday in Dallas County, with previous fatalities in Matagorda, Collin and Tarrant counties.

Thursday saw another record-breaking increase in confirmed cases statewide, jumping from 200 to at least 306. The tally now includes 70 cases in the Greater Houston region. Officials have made clear those numbers will continue to rise as testing captures previously unconfirmed cases.

That testing rollout, however, has been slow in Greater Houston.

A line of cars stretched 3 miles for the first day of drive-thru testing in Houston Thursday. Residents with symptoms could get free COVID-19 tests after a screening process at the United Memorial Medical Center in Acres Homes. U.S. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Houston, said the testing was provided by the recently passed Family First Act.

One person who drove up to be tested had symptoms so severe they were taken by stretcher toward the adjacent medical center.

The death of an 80 year old person in a nursing home doesn't really count since they were practically dead anyway according to some on this site.

Coronavirus updates in Texas: Gov. Greg Abbott says Texas has 566 cases; state's number of deaths at 7

by The Texas Tribune March 22, 2020

https://www.texastribune.org/2020/03/22/coronavirus-updates-texas-greg-abbott-gives-update-texas-has-355-cases/

Quote
Sunday's biggest developments:

•   Abbott acknowledges state coronavirus numbers missing hundreds of cases others are reporting

•   Two more deaths Sunday bring state's total fatalities to seven

Woman dies in San Antonio after suffering from COVID-19

[5:20 p.m.] A woman in her 80s being treated at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio died after suffering from COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus. San Antonio and Bexar County officials disclosed the woman’s death on Sunday.

“Today’s tragic development illustrates the importance of the aggressive steps we are taking to thwart the spread of COVID-19. Stay home unless you must go out. Follow the health experts’ guidelines,” San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg said in a statement.

The disclosure of the woman's death means there have been at least seven people in Texas who have died due to COVID-19. Dallas County officials announced a death earlier in the day Sunday. — Brandon Formby

State numbers for positive coronavirus tests increase, but lag other reports

[3:22 p.m.] Gov. Greg Abbott on Sunday said that 566 people in Texas have received presumptive positive or confirmed tests for the new coronavirus — and acknowledged that state health officials' daily disclosures of Texas cases have excluded an unknown number of those cases.

KHOU has a good interactive map.  Interestgly it shows 7 recovered in the mapped area while the Johs Hopkins tracking page say that there have been zero recoveries in the entire state.  https://www.khou.com/article/news/health/coronavirus/houston-area-coronavirus-cases/285-192b8879-08b6-4ec0-8a0f-a0487ead1453

I looked for a source for their data. All I found was:    Metadata: Coronavirus GreaterHouston

I don't know who is compiling that data.

    As I see it, @berdie WE have only 3 options here, Worry, Laugh or somewhere in between. 
    Life is incredibly short and no one seems to make it out alive. 
    My philosophy: Laugh, LOVE and REJOICE!
