Some things are doing really well, others were complete failures. We already have cauliflour heads forming, the peas and green & yellow beans will be getting their first pick this week. 36 strawberry plants planted, 35 survived and are now putting out babies and starting to flower.

I suspect the second wave here in Quebec to be more of a ripple. People are taking things seriously and wearing masks and using hand sanitizer like crazy. Remember, most of our cases were in long term care homes...a clusterf*** to be sure, but the general public was largely unaffected. That being sa...

Since getting into ham radio, I've had an interest in building electronics. I get all my components from China. I know, buy Canadian etc...but I'm not paying $1.00 for a resistor when I can get them for pennies out of China. Suppliers are now really really slow to fill orders and some are cancelling...

2 - instant coffee with powdered whitener is an acquired taste
3 - a taste for instant coffee with powdered whitener is acquirable

I'm in the same boat...almost. Sometime after the SARS incident, we came across some disposable N95 masks liquidated at a local pharmacy and bought them all. 5 packs of 5.
