Have my own coveralls now!

 So I was pleased last week to visit another underground mining operation in Sudbury, but this time with a difference. I visit mining properties enough that I decided to spend a few bucks to buy my own coveralls. In Ontario the law dictates that all persons going underground must wear orange coveralls with reflective striping. Cool. So now I have my own coveralls and it saves time in not having to fart around at different mining properties getting outfitted every time. 

Plus I have coveralls that fit me properly and they're easy to put on a take off.

Also, I use my own hardhat, which I wear turned around so it makes it easier to get photos when I hold the camera up to my face. That hardhat is from my early days working at the Texas Gulf Kidd Mine.  And thanks to mining photographer James Hodgins for shooting the photo. We were both there because Premier Doug Ford was touring the mine. 

My fifth vaccine dose.

 So I am pleased to say I have just taken my fifth COVID-19 vaccine. I got the shot today of new Pfizer bivalent vaccine and so it goes.
The nurse who gave me the shot said she was surprised I had not had COVID-19 in the past two and a half years. I said I wasn't surprised. I wear a mask. I take precautions. 

Of course I am not qualified to make the call because I am not a scientist, but I believe if you get the vaccine it lessens the chance of getting the disease. Just my take on things.  To me it is a no brainer.

I guess it's the same with the anti-vax types who float all sorts of theories. I say theories because they don't know either. They're not scientists.

I just feel better about my situation. Literally. I feel better than most.
