Thanks, if your not doing a lot, hand works good. But after 1000 pumps you will appreciate the air jack. even by hand I would jack it down to full pressure anyway. You can get a pretty good feel for the air jack after a few presses as you can hear the sound of the jack change as it builds pressure. To me the compressor and air jack are must haves. The low temp plates work extremely well. Best of luck let me know if you have any more questions..

I'm not doing a lot, so it looks like I'll start by hand. I can always upgrade. Love your setup. I appreciate the advice, happy holidays to you and yours.

Infection rates are at the highest we've seen in the State, grocery store shelves are full thankfully.

The drive thru testing center was full today, whole parking lot filled and line was out to the street.
Haven't seen that for a while..that was really scary to see with National Guard, like out of a bad movie.

Toronto lockdown to be extended with new restrictions announced next week

Ontario Premier Doug Ford has confirmed that the lockdown period set to expire in Toronto and Peel on Monday will be extended beyond Dec. 21 with new…

Not surprised at all. It's mind blowing that schools will remain open. Adults wearing masks aren't responsible enough to shop or leave their homes, but kids at schools without masks or social distancing are a-okay.

California hospitals 'crushed' as virus patients flood ICUs

The UK has identified a new variant of the virus that is about 70% more contagious than the original strain, but no more deadly. A physician here expresses the worry that with a little more mutation, the vaccine may not be effective against these new virus strains. What worries me in the US is that even if the sane take the vaccine, if enough of the irrationals do not, the virus may mutate among them, and they might re-infect the vaccinated...

I hadn't looked at the overall statistics for a while, but I have been really concerned with the increase in cases in Canada. It is getting very serious here in terms of available hospital and especially ICU beds in a lot of places.

After I looked at the numbers, I am still very worried about my country and my people.
In Canada: cases/ million people: 13,399, deaths per million people: 375

I am fucking terrified for you folks to the South.
USA: cases/ million people: 55,036, deaths per million people:979


That's 4.1x our infection rate and 2.6x our death rate. Even with a vaccine and a sane leader, you poor fuckers have a long miserable winter ahead. Best of luck to you all. I hope you and your loved ones are able to stay safe.

I was trying to think of a cause for the different case:death ratio in the stats above. I wondered if perhaps Canada had more vulnerable old people, so I went looking for numbers to support or disprove the hypothesis. It looks like the idea may have merit.

Did you know that the average life expectancy is over 3 years longer in Canada than in the US? That is a long time.

C'mon trumpys, join the darkside. You get to live longer in a land of socialized medicine. :twisted:

Yeah, but I bet in those final 3 years, they're bored out of their minds ;)

I'm as tired of covid as I am winter.

And we're stuck with both of them until April, if we're lucky with the vaccines.

2020 sucks.
I can't wait until New Years Eve to lose this horrible fucking year. While we watch TV alone. Again.

Like yesterday, last week, last month, last season.

Suddenly I'm depressed. Time to catch a buzz. Again. Like yesterday...

Today will be the shortest day of the year. Tomorrow the days will slowly begin to lengthen. The next month is probably going to be the hardest part of this although that will extend through to March for the healthcare workers. In one month things will start looking better for the US and hopefully by March we should see a real difference. I don't often make predictions but there you go.
