Hello RAF
I am an Arizona State ME grad. Lived in AZ from 1973 to 1981 between USAF and Arizona State.
Hoping to drive the RV west this summer, if the vaccine works!
Vaccine will work or we are all in trouble...
It is expected to also work on the Great Britain strain that is even more virulent than the G strain which is already highly contagious. Fortunately, the new strain has the same outer skin with its spike proteins that are what allow it to infect you, so this is why it is the vaccine should be as effective on it. It is also no more deadly than the current D and G strains which are so prevalent. The new strain is already in two or three countries near GB and in Australia and I bet it is already in NY as that is where many GB-ers travel or go through when coming to the US A...being an international hub from Europe and GB... Just a matter of time before they identify the strain in NY. Lots of Londoners flew out or drove outbefore the lockdown happened after they heard the lockdown deadline. So, it is getting spread far and wide this Christmas, so brace yourself for record numbers of cases due to everyone travelling thinking they don't have it and not masking or quarantined be after travel. As well as this new GB strain taking a quick spreading foothold. It is 60% more contagious or 60% effective at spreading as compared to G or D strain, forget which I read/saw by Dr who is up on it...
Where will you be visiting? I am in the greater Tucson area, "The Old Pueblo". Just finished a swim at outdoor pool at local Y. Last time until March as they are shutting down, draining, re-plastering, and re-coating pool. So will have to swim laps at either downtown or way over on Prudence, 25-30 miles from home out in Picture Rocks...I am out in desert beyond the Tucson Mountains across from Casa Adobes and Marana areas on NW metro area... Tucson address...but most of metro is...unlike Phoenix with incorporated towns with their own city as they merged into the Phoenix sprawl... Don't like Phoenix much.
So, you were at Luke? Thanks for your service for this country! Inevof my best friends is aeronautical aerospace professor at ASU in Tempe. Super brilliant Doctoral ME grad with vadt aerospace experience and credentials, well published and the USAF like him a lot because he gets it done and delivers without the BS and overruns and political games that happen in govt contacting circles sometimes. So, they give him and his grad students good topics and research and development of concepts and ideas that they feel show promise. I'm a former Software Quality Improvement, ISO9001/CMMI quality engineering manager & engineer with EET degree from Tennessee.
I really like your CB550, very nice, too bad they screwed the pooch on the tank internals, cannot believe they would do that. Wonder if they acid soaked the tank previously we etching the factory protective layer and tight grain of rolled steel causing it to rust worse by getting moisture and leaving it in the tank? Orvis it really really bad? Recommend you use chain to knock loose any scale and use paint safe and metal safe solution for rust luke MetalRescue or EvapoRust. The chelating solutions do mor eat good metal, nor do they affect the paint and can be filtered out sediment, paint strainer is good solution for straining, and stored in a new dark plastic bottle labeled so you know what it is later.
I lived in Boone, NC and worked in Newland after college in NE TN...was in NW NC from '84-Jan. '86. Lived in Tucson from '05-'08, then Sierra Vista from '09-'13 before returning to TN...then moved back to Tucson in late Oct '19.
