Can we get a Safety Check In?

[sorce]

@Bonsai Nut
I was wondering, due to these "wonderful" times were living in, if it's possible to send a check in email to folks who may have PM email notifications off. (Everyone)

Hopefully everyone checks in but .....

I know if something were to happen to me, that's the only thing that would let my family know some people here have concern. I imagine that could be all that is necessary in some situations to brighten someone's spirits who may be grieving in these odd times, just the knowledge their loved ones are loved.

If it could guide them here to check in that would be nice.

If you're reading please Check in!

I've accepted the fact that this here internet makes the world as small as you wish.

It's small for me and this large family.

Happy (enter your politically correct sentiment of choice here)!

P.S. Here, I rarely leave and the whole Kitchen staff at the wife's old people's home have that Ro Ro. Still, no old folks have it. No one I know has died. No Close family with it.

Stay Active.

Still alive over here....my tennis racquet I have taped to my face is keeping me safe from the Wuhan Red Death.

They haven't killed me yet.... yet.

Just a wave in your general direction...

"If something were to happen to me"

*off-topic*
I was surprised a while back when this topic was broached how much thought my wife had put into that possibility as it relates to my trees. On one hand, I'm glad to know my trees will be cared for. On the other, ...why's she been thinking about this so much?!

(Also found out my oldest daughter, who is almost completely DISinterested in my bonsai said she might want one if something ever happened to me.)

*on-topic*
This year has revealed to my wife what I've been trying to tell her all along. I'm pretty content at home. I've been working from home since late-March ...and other than some lower-back issues from extended recliner use while working, I'm fairly content here with my own. My wife: just the opposite, so we're still finding a balance there.

@sorce being Source, very nice thoughts.....had hoped to be a snowbird BUT........still dreaming of the summer fun and the last Yamadori Trip.

Appreciate it, Sorce!

Physically - all good.
Emotionally, energetically, mentally - exhausted.

I've done many days of full-time work + full-time childcare.
Some extended family deaths...some sick and still recovering months later.

Honestly these forums have been a crucial mental escape for me. So thanks to everyone posting beautiful (and ugly) trees on here!

A good friend of mine is having a rough (at LEAST) “go of it” recently.. so this is my morning stroll to fill his mailbox with relevant reading material..

Pictured, also, is one of those Spongebob stickers that KEEP showing up on my neighbor’s door ever since they shouted loud profanity at my children.. weird!

(It’s fun to watch them remove it )

@sorce finished making my slip

Love 710!

Some Literature May have Cone 6 as the firing temperature still. It has been changed to a recommended 5. Only because if you go to fast from 5-7 it bloats. If it's not vitreous at 5 (it probably will be) use a slower ramp for the end of the schedule!

(I still work for Standard in my soul!)

There has been a lot of complaints about 710 and its brother 266 bloating. It has never been an issue for me and I always fire to a full cone 6. I do take my time with it.
