Day 19, matched 3! 19.5k
Day 20, No matches (again) 18.5k Neopoints and a Pirate Altachuck

Closing up the building... Isn't as bad as it sounds. The doors leak, many of the the skylights are vented. The production floor and storage areas are wide open. Roof/ceiling is around 23 feet up and nearly 100 thousand square feet of wide open :) We need to open the giant roll-up doors for forklifts to get in and out dozens of times per day. The air is never stale. We also bring in a company to use a fancy dancy electrostatic sprayer with disinfectant on a frequent regular basis.

I just meant that the competing needs of overturning the indoor air dirty with COVID-19 and not introducing pollutants from the dirty outside air is complicated. Companies are already spending more for increased air turnover, which probably requires more maintenance on filters... And the smoke pollution is probably running through filters even more quickly.

19k today. No reset. Phew.

Day 21, no matches, 18.5k

Yeah, we are changing filters a lot more often and we have the air quality app on our phones. If the air quality is good enough with the particulate count below a certain level, we open the large doors to get "fresh" air moving around and close them when the particulate count gets too high. Fortunately, the nights are generally a lot better, so we can get cool, fresh air overnight (we run 24/7).

I finally bought myself some KN95 masks so I can get out to do some yard work at home. My lungs are not at all happy with the smoke and just a "surgical" mask. I would not be surprised if my lungs are semi-compromised from having severe asthmatic bronchitis a couple of years ago. No sense in aggravating things.

Yes, take care of yourself, Blue! Don't mess with lung damage. Especially with the ever-present risk of COVID-19. I have a few N95 masks (5, at this point). That's all I've been wearing. (I only have to wear them at work 2 days a week, and then to appointments/shopping, which I of course minimize. Oh, and protests, of course. Haven't been to one in a while, though. I've been doing other things.) They definitely wouldn't pass a fit test, but they work. I just rotate through them and hang them, using time to decontaminate them.

I need to order washable masks, but analysis paralysis... I hate buying stuff!

Oh, and Trudy:
19k yesterday
18.5k and Jetsam Mini Fan today

I'm okay with resetting with everyone else, but it doesn't actually affect me at all since I'm the latest person... :D (I'm assuming you're not asking me to reset during the latter days again again... I do that enough on accident, though I've been good lately!)

Day 23, no matches, 18.5k and a Gift Box
Day 24, 2 matches 19k

Low on record: 451,375
High on record: 464,750

Up to you guys if you want to reset. I am fairly certain my count is now correct. Tomorrow should be my 100k day (Trudy says "1" right now in the post spin refresh)

Glad to hear that you're wearing a "better-than" mask! I am hanging out my non-work "surgical" masks as well between store visits, which are maybe a couple on the weekend. I finally got my hair professionally cut about a week ago after 6 months of DIY (and it really looking increasing awful each week). After 6 months of growth and occasional self-cuts, I did not go as short as usual. Probably will next time, though. I doubt it will be another 6 months!

I bought only 1 washable mask and the earloops were so tight, they folded my ears down. No good. Sticking with the disposables for now.

Temporarily stopping tracking, though I had no matches again today w/4.5k. Got no matches today, anyway. Siniri, let us know which day will be your 100k day, so we can skip it.

Blue, you hit the BLB on a good day. It makes a huge difference!

Mr. P made us custom-fit washable masks that are extremely comfortable. Middle little P has grown a lot (her face is finally starting to lengthen and lose the baby round look) and now she needs new masks. Oops!

semi-Standing by... Siniri - when is your 100k day?

ETA:
I spun today (matched 2, 2k). I am only 3 days from a bonus prize, but planning to skip and not spin on Siniri's 100k day.

Re: Trudy's Surprise (Slot Machine)! [Split 4 ever]

Wed Sep 23, 2020 7:36 pm

No matches yesterday (5.5k) or today (6.5k). Waiting to hear when we should reset.

Weird. I posted yesterday but it didn't actually go through for some reason. I think it was 18.5k and 19k.

And today's was 18.5k.

I finish this round tomorrow. One day left. So I guess you need to skip tomorrow (today by the time you see it?). To be very clear: Thursday will be day 25.

Re: Trudy's Surprise (Slot Machine)! [Split 4 ever]

Thu Sep 24, 2020 6:25 am

Thanks Siniri. I shall make a real effort to not spin on the 25th.

Re: Trudy's Surprise (Slot Machine)! [Split 4 ever]

Thu Sep 24, 2020 2:02 pm

No, no, no! You need to not spin today, right? Thursday the 24th? That way your day 1 will be on the 25th! Hopefully you don't see this too late!

Re: Trudy's Surprise (Slot Machine)! [Split 4 ever]

Thu Sep 24, 2020 6:45 pm

Got it. Today is your day 25. Even though it's the 24th. Just because days/numbers don't line up. I won't spin today.

Re: Trudy's Surprise (Slot Machine)! [Split 4 ever]

Thu Sep 24, 2020 9:27 pm

Ugh. To be honest, I have no idea what date it is. I had planned to not spin today. I think today is Thursday. I will not spin today. I will spin tomorrow.

Sadly, I have had trouble all week to know what stinking date it is each day. So... Today is the 24th? Oy.

Sad thing is, I have a really nice wall calendar on the wall next to my desk. I just need to glance up and see the date. If I squint a little, I can see every date for last month, this month and the next 10 months... :loser:
