Well if you're getting in shape by playing the piano better bang the keys like Jerry Lee Lewis
Nah, that is just another time soak for me.  Today should be nice enough to do some running, I've been off that due to weather and vacation.  It will be interesting to see how my endurance has faded (it was not great anyway, I could jog a mile, slowly).  I'll be happy to run/walk 1.5 miles on the track today.

The wife has to go to the French consulate for something or other and then she says she's going shopping, do I want to come?

Um, no.

Had an accident in my car, so it is in the shop. I decided since I work only 4 miles from my home that I would ride my bike to and from work. Two days of riding and I decided I am too old and out of shape for it, I went and rented a car last night. I keep telling myself that I am going to start exercising, but I don't think it is going to happen. I am an umpire on my football crew, so I don't have to do much running during a game so why get in shape :)

I walked up to my broker to deposit a check and then walked back to the park.  I was hurting after half a mile.  I have a lot of work to do.

It's sunny and breezy today.

Well, the heat pump didn't last.  I was warned  I guess.  The tech said it might last a year or a day.  It's sunny so the place is not too cold.

Anyone know anything about water source heat pumps?

You know these evaporators on the top of taller buildings?

I know the geothermal heat pumps in my office have been a maintenance problem

evaporative condensers are for cooling

that's about my extent of knowledge

Large buildings use water sourced heat pumps, and the evaporators on the roof are to cool the water (duh) in summer.  The paces inside have a water sourced heat pump.

Mine oddly enough is working again (I recycled it).  I'm getting some quotes.

Those large towers often associated with nuclear power plants are evaporative cooling towers so they don't dump hot water into rivers.

I hadn't been as concerned as most people about it, but the Corona Virus has apparently affected two people in the town I grew up near, and my grandmother who now lives in an assisted living place near my parents is being quarantined there (no cases inside it but they're just not allowing any visitors and apparently aren't allowing anyone who lives there to leave).

For anyone else who has family / friends in assisted living situations / nursing homes / etc., I hope you have contingency plans figured out....

The unknown is a concern.  I should be fine I think even if I contract it, which at this point is statistically unlikely.  The delayed onset of symptoms is a concern.


In happier news, my heat pump is back pumping, and my new lens arrived today.  I played with it a bit, it's an 18-400 mm zoom, which sounds impossible to me.  The photos look fine to me, I'm sure someone would find lack of crispness in the edges at some focal lengths.

Welp.. my cruise line has come up with an option to cancel without penalty. We are supposed to leave in 2 weeks, from Lima to Miami. Now I'm thinking about it. Not sure what to do here.

There is no Mickey Mouse or water park on this line. Lots of older people - we help bring the average down.

Yeah, I got the same notice from NCL.  However, your airline may not agree.

American has always been good to me on this stuff, when I book through our credit union. At a minimum, I'll get the refund for the main flight cost ($1200+/-). 

I might lose the money I paid directly to AA for the premium seats, but that's a smaller hit ($300+/-).

Still thinking about it.

Part of the fun for us, being very social, is meeting new people on these cruises. Given what's going on, there may be nobody to meet.

I'm leaving in a couple hours for a large convention in Minneapolis

not too worried about the virus, but not sure I'd feel the same way about a cruise ship

might be nice to have the ship to yourself, a smaller group than usual

I'd plan to be quarantined on the ship for 30 days after the cruise
