Back from four days trailering with a group of friends. I wore my survivor Caravelle transistorized while away, but back to wearing a favourite watch, today. My one-owner Rolex Air-King date which I have owned for 51 years. It began life in 1971, with a steel bezel. In 2021 (it’s 50th anniversary), I retrieved a NOS genuine 14-karat bezel from my stash, and made it into my golden anniversary Rolex. You’re not seeing dust on the dial. It has begun to peel a bit, but I enjoy it, just the same. Fitted with an aftermarket bracelet after my son trashed the original.

Some adventuring this morning -- an 11km (7mi) jaunt out and back to a Tectonics Monitoring Station. The station is part of a large network of monitoring points along the coast of North America. This particular station tracks movement of the Pacific Plate; the boundary of the adjacent North American Plate is about 100km inland from here (at the San Andreas Fault). The Pacific and North American Plates are sliding past each other at a rate of 40mm-60mm/year, which in the world of geology is Formula 1 speed.

The idea of vaccinations are to avoid ending up on a ventilator in intensive care or worse.

you might be an outlier for symptoms, much like people have varying degrees of symptoms with the flu.

These last variants are highly contagious but less virulent.

hang in there!

Agreed …. But remind us why the international vaccine travel mandates are needed again? …when there is no mandate to for example to work in the NHS or UK care homes,, I lose track of the science these days😗
