Felt a bit feverish and my PT gig requires something to stay home so I got tested yesterday. Went whole hog on tests! Thought what the heck. Flu neg. Antibody test to see if I've had recent Covid neg. So my last flu like suffering was probably flu, and if I had past Covid... any Immunity is now gone. I really feel I had Covid when it first hit us. I'll never know. Covid test was positive. I had a home test that came back negative so I was a little surprised. This is my 3rd day, worst was first day 102 fever achy. Currently bit of a sore throat and very low fever both controlled with otc pain relievers. Bored to death. Nearly 58 eat poorly don't exercise but not a big drinker anymore and don't smoke. My PT job is physical so I'm fitter than I deserve. Doc was not concerned and neither am I. I kept waiting for them to ask had I been vaxxed. How do they come up with all these stats when they don't ask? I have not been vaxxed btw. Also they have no way to know what variant, again how accurate are those stats? I assume random samples? I'm hoping my bout with Covid is going to become typical. Basically morphing into another flu and treated like one. To be watched and taken Serious but not enough to keep the world crazy. All the crazy hasn't helped much.

I’m guessing that I’m not alone when I say that I have learned a lot in 2020! I’ve learned that the grocery store won’t always have what my family needs, guns and ammunition have become something of a commodity and the Government sure isn’t going to take care of my family better than I can! So, yes; I’ve made some changes this year. I never owned a gun before and now there are four in my household. Although I’ve received the most training, my wife and our 19 year old son have also received training and shoot as often as we can at our local range, as well as to have added a MantisX and dry fire routine. We had “enough” supplies to get through this year’s COVID quarantine, but I’m concerned that more hard times could be just around the corner and I know I could use some input, encouragement and direction from local, likeminded people. So, my first question is, “What part of TN do you live in”? And secondly, “Do you have a group of like minded, local folks that help you prepare for difficult times?” and if you don’t have anyone, do you have any interest or desire to do so? As a response to my own questions, I live in Franklin, TN and would very much like to connect with people who want to build community, help share prepping ideas and be a “friend close by”, which is better than a brother far away... Thanks, Ray
