The rapid tests are only for those showing symptoms, or have a medical need (upcoming surgery etc). Unless you play pro sports you will get the 7-10 business day test

Was in north OC for the week. Wiped down everything in the condo and brought our own linens/pillows. Generally everyone kept to themselves. One huge group of 50-60 people in multiple condos that obviously didnt care. Drinking games, barfing on the beach, etc. Age range from 5-70. We stayed away from them and found a spot that wasn't too crowded and everyone kept their distance. We did carry out at restaurants that we scoped out prior to ordering and appeared to be trying their best to keep things clean and safe. Rode bikes up to Fenwick, lots of people on bunting ave. I took a test prior to going, took 7 days to get (negative) results. The idiots that can't keep low key and isolated are ruining it for everyone.

lol yea, i was thinking about doing some sitting around the firepit, glad I felt lazy and stayed inside! Lights just flickered and we had some thunder.

We actually had a guy with a portable saw mill come by and saw up the last couple trees we had to take down, was a pretty awesome experience. We had a local carpenter build a hutch, shelves and bar table out of it so far. Couple of projects on the plan just haven't had time to think about it. I still have probably 100 or so board feet left from that, so these are gonna end up as firewood. Asked them to cut the trunks into 20" sections so I can split.

Just signed a contract to take down 8 big oak trees, all dead. No one seems to know whats going on with oaks in MD. Theory is a wet 2018 and the drought of last fall really stressed them and disease/insects finish them off. Such a shame. We will re-plant but will never be the same in my lifetime. https://extension.umd.edu/sites/extension.umd.edu/files/_docs/programs/hgic/Non_hgic_pubs/Maryland Pest Alert - Problems on White Oaks.pdf

We closed today, didnt expect to build a fire and watch snow fall on May 8!

We are lucking out for now in MD.. Skies are getting brighter and its warm out.

You can order a test for antibodies online now, $170. Requires you to schedule a blood draw at a local testing center. Not taking insurance but accepts HSAs and I'm guessing you could submit bill to insurance for reimbursement. I might do it just to see if I am a silent carrier. Found out through a friend who knows doctors in New Orleans who are using the same test (not through this company). www.healthlabs.com

brief hail storm. was over in about 90 seconds.

lol, when does it get warm? I am closing on a place in a month, hope to change my shelter in place location

Thanks! It has tiny white flowers. Roots are hardy too. Tried to pull it but the roots won't come easy. Digging resulted in too much grass coming up so I stopped. I think it might be this: https://extension.umd.edu/hgic/topics/common-chickweed Do you have a favorite weed killer to use for spot treatment? I did put down a granular pre-emergent a couple weeks ago. Been having a problem with stilt grass here. Pulled most it by hand last year but trying to keep it from coming back.

I'm hoping one of you smart lawn folks can help me identify this weed. It has gone crazy in my yard this year. Haven't seen it until this spring, but its everywhere.

I just measured 10" on my deck, I'm assuming there has been some compaction in the last 24 hours!

Took an awesome jebwalk down to the main street, all roads that were plowed black are now snow covered with a couple inches of fresh.

Been under the yellows right near 100&29 and it is straight ripping fatties. Best part of the storm so far and we are 24hrs in!!!! Doesn't look like this death band is moving much.

Your pics would look at lot better with some VT flags flying ;). Big game on Tuesday!

Snow on street/driveway is slushy and compact, the snow on the grass is fluffy. Tried to build a snow fort and was having trouble compacting. At least we dont have to deal with the March sun angle

MoCo HoCo death band is backbuilding, its been snowing moderately all morning, 6" OTG.

5" in Ellicott City!
