[AT] Covid-19

[ustonThomas Mehrkam]

 I cannot understand the Mask Issue.  Yes it is a P.I.A. to wear a mask but that is the only way we can get out now a days with a little safety. I am living in a Rural area and there have been quite a number that refuse to wear masks.  It has gotten a little better the last few weeks.  Businesses can be fined for not enforcing masks inside their businesses.  That has helped a bunch but you still see a few holdouts.
Sorry about your friend. We have had some family members with Covid-19 but they did not have much of a problem with it and have recovered.
Will this ever be over.  I want to make an RV trip to Alaska.  Hopefully. I will be able to do that in the next couple of years. I would like to Experience Alaska in the Summer instead of the dead of winter working on Seismic Equipment.   That was interesting but ICE is not my thing.  I was born in Texas and it is too darn cold up there in the winter.
Stay safe.

 I have of course never met Raymond but I sympathize with your loss, you, of course the family and all other that knew him. These are terrible and strange times.

It hit home.

I say this with a heavy heart, as many of you attending Portland may have met him. While at Portland I introduced a few of you to a fellow named Raymond Craft.  He was part of the the local home town Pfafftown contingency that attended the Tri-State show. He attended the Portland show along with Bill Gannoway most years and a few others.  We were all good friends and neighbors and were part of the local Rust And Dust club that sponsored the the local tractor show many of you attended. 

Raymond died of COVID-19 about 10 days ago. He was one of those “masks are for pussies“ kind of guys. I wonder if his three daughters, three grandkids and wife are thinking the same thing these days.

I saw him and spoke with him(thank God with a mask on) at a funeral about 15 days before he died.  I miss him already as he was a stand-up guy.  He was also your go-to-guy for Farmall “H” tractors.   I’ll bet his estate now owns about 15-20 of them.

I hope all y’all are being careful. Sorry to vent but he leaves a hole in my heart.  I’ll miss seeing him at the local breakfast diner and talking tractors.
