My COVID-19 survival tips of the day...
If you need to go get supplies, find a thin pair of gloves (leather, cloth or fleece) in your inventory. When you get to the store, put them on before entering and keep them on until you return to your car. Carefully remove them so as to not touch the contact surfaces of them and then place them palm up on the floor. Still treat your hands as contaminated and wash them after you get home. After 48 hours in the car, any viruses on the gloves will be dead and they will be ready for safe use next time you go out.
If you use a paper towel or napkin to dry your hands after washing them, lay it flat on the counter and let dry. Then fold it up and put it in your pocket for the next time you need to go out for something. Use it to grab door handles to get into the store and fold it up so that the touched surface is on the inside. Then the outside is still relatively clean and can be used for touch pads, signing pens or whatever before you leave the store. Dispose of it in the way out of the store. Still treat your hands like they are contaminated and wash them when you get home.
Don’t lick envelopes when mailing bills. The risk is low, but why take it? Use a small piece of napkin or paper towel (like from one saved from above) and wet it with some tap water to moisten the glue on the envelope. Then discard.
If you have bought supplies but they aren’t perishable or sensitive to your current weather conditions, leave them in the car for a couple of days before bringing them into the house if you don’t need them right away. You can also park them in the garage or a shed too. After 2-3 days, any viruses on them will be dead and they can be safely handled without any concern.
These tips won’t make your risk zero, but I figure every incremental reduction in risk of being exposed is worth doing. These small things take little effort and can’t hurt.

What works in those rusty cylinders? Coke? It will need a .030 over for sure.

Phosphoric acid. Converts iron oxide to a brittle iron phosphate and seals it to the surface making further iron oxide production impossible.
That's probably in Coke! LOL

Will the bugs die on nasty old greasy gloves faster?
Dave. Thank you for all the knowledge you share with us, truly it does good.
Here's my Covid 19 tip of the day, do not get yourself in a situation that requires medical attention. That said, I took a bad fall off of some logs, head probably traveled 10 feet slamming into tree below....Dumb! I had been limbing these 10 alders for a while and was tired, not careful. Lucky I didn't get a branch through my temple, scratched up pretty good, no cuts but got my bell rung pretty good.

Just doing what I do
There is, but just a really tiny bit. Use phosphoric acid solution directly and skip all the sugar, cola, flavors, bubbles, etc.

Ouch! Yeah, not a good time to injure yourself and require medical treatment.

Well, your still posting, so that could have gone much worse. When did this happen?

The yellow and orange on the Dopler isn't hangin' out at the beach any longer. It's here!
About 3 hours ago. Took a break, drank some water, then went back out to just pick up what I had limbed, not on the logs, no saw. Oh yeah, another inattention moment, forgot to check chain tension when fueling, threw a chain. I was really asking for it today, what an asshole!
Evening all.
Ya, no-that aint gonna work....

We spoke with my wife’s parents today. Both are in their early 80s and live down in Alabama. They are being diligent about their Social Distancing which is a good thing.
They did say that they think “Maybe” they both had the virus a month ago with fever and flu-like symptoms. I said it would be nice if that were true, but gently reminded them to assume that they didn’t. False security is worse than having none.
I think they understood.
Wife is worried about them, but staying in contact and gentle reminders to help them stay safe seem to help her anxiety. It’s all we can do.
