19 January 2021
I’m not sure what got into me yesterday, other than the fact that I’ve basically been a slug the past week, but I had a burst of energy. I awoke at 4:30am and finally got out of bed around 5:30. Breakfast and web surfing led to my morning walk (1.45 miles), yoga stretches, pool laps and then I really got motivated.
I have some very tall haliconias in two locations in my back yard and they constantly need trimming. I’m not always diligent about the trimming but I went at it yesterday after swimming and got all the dead growth out and in the yard waste container.
The right nozzle of my windshield wiper was not working properly last week so I attempted to unclog it with a thin wire. That didn’t work so I wanted to check the hose that attached to it under the hood. It broke off in my hand. So yesterday I searched the web for a replacement (and YouTube video on how to replace it). MOPAR is jeep’s parts and service section and I found a replacement on their site for $30 with shipping. I double checked Amazon and that was the going price for a MOPAR replacement price. It should be in the first week in February. The YouTube video looks simple enough but stay tuned for my attempt at replacing it without having to buy a new jeep.
Somehow the latch on my fence gate got damaged and the bottom screw that holds the latch on came out. Every time you opened the gate from the outside it felt like the latch was going to come off in your hand. I tried a quick fix with an anchor and screw but that pulled out immediately. Yesterday I got out my drill and drilled through the wood and metal frame of the gate and anchored the bottom of the latch with a screw and lock washers and a nut. That certainly should hold it until the fence falls apart.
You may get the idea my house is falling apart because the next thing I noticed was my microwave door handle had come loose at the bottom. I did some checking and found the plastic piece the screw enters had broken off. After a lengthy internet search I finally found the correct handle for my GE Spacematic microwave. Apparently, every model has its own specific part number and handle. That ran about $52 with shipping and should be here by the end of the month. If I ordered the correct part, the YouTube video makes the replacement seem easy. I’m not sure how anything ever got done before YouTube videos.
That afternoon I did a 3.6 mile bike ride around the neighborhood. Needless to say, I was pretty tired after dinner and I think I crashed about 9:30pm last night. All in all, it was a productive day.

A five day average of new cases from 13 January – 17 January shows 14,300 new cases. The death toll average from 13 January – 17 January is 175 per day (low of 135 and high of 222). Based on that average the number of people who will die from COVID from 18 January until 31 January is 2, 450. As of 18 January, the death toll in Florida since March 1st is 24,657.
One million, thirty-0ne thousand seven hundred and ninety five first doses have been given as of 18 January 2021 and 93,m 258 second doses. Strangely, 40,661 have been offered the second dose but have not been given. Wikipedia gives the 2019 population of Florida as 21,477,737. By my calculation only 4.8% of the state has been inoculated with the first dose of vaccine and 0.4% have had both doses.
The first dose of the vaccine was administered in Tampa on December 14th. As of today, that means Florida is, on the average, inoculating 31, 266 people a day. Based on the state’s population and this average, it will only take 686 days to complete the vaccination of the state’s population. Oh wait! That does not take into account the people from Canada, South America, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, etc. who are coming into the state for their vaccinations since there is no residency requirement to receive the vaccine in Florida – only an appointment. No wonder the phone lines and web sites of facilities are crashing when trying to make appointments. Please! Set up a national inoculation program!
My song recommendation is “Give Peace A Chance” by John Lenon. In particular, the lyrics
“Let me tell you now
Ev’rybody’s talking about
Revolution, evolution, masturbation
Flagellation, regulation, integrations
Meditations, United Nations
Congratulations.”
To that I would inoculations.
Stay tuned and stay safe!
