I'd guess you might get a bit warm on the way to the seat or whatever but with a low of 42 tonight in Ames I'm sure excessive layers will work out just fine.
Just lucky!
I hope everyone has only mild symptoms!!
We all have to live with it, of course, but the thing I've started to run into is people who almost seem pissed if I express concern about someone who has it. Living with it isn't the same as ignoring it. The fact that it isn't ebola shouldn't mean I can't show concern and compassion for someone who is ill.
I just can't even conceive what is motivating someone like that.
I went to the Cracker Barrel last night, not by choice, they serve beer and wine now. I didn't get one because it was just the typical national brands you can get everywhere.
Been getting trigger finger in my little finger when I sleep the last couple weeks. It's fine during the day and while working, but I'll wake up with it bent and have to pop it back into place.
You old school carpentering with big framing hammer or something? That used to happen to me (like a million years ago) after hammering all day with a 22 or 24oz hammer but thought the days like that were over with all of the nail guns.
I have a 28oz. We use the air nailers whenever we can, but some situations require a hammer. If you shoot nails into a doubled up girder truss made with Douglas Fir, they don't always go all the way in and you have to hammer them flush. Some truss hangers require 16 penny hand nails in them, and then when you're hanging trusses, the spacing blocks require a nail to be set on each end, which we do ahead of time and there's a couple hundred of those.
Update for anyone who cares (or doesn't): my dad is positive, which doesn't line up for getting it from me in under 24 hours' time.
It's more possible I got it from him when I visited last weekend or something similar.

I hope his case is mild and he recovers fully.
Woof, 28oz. Way too big for me. Working one winter with no heat on this one house had my hands/fingers all clawed up in the morning. Fortunately the Corps rescued me with a job offer and CWW#1 was pretty adamant I take it.
Still have my 1978 hammers. Vintage now!
Is he doing OK? Actually hope all of you are.
Thanks so much. As far as I know he's asymptomatic; best case scenario is he's had it all week and won't have any issues.
They wouldn't have tested if I wasn't positive so at least that prompted them to find out; I had to be super stern with them to call the Dr./hospital to get advice on next steps.
I won't get into it but they're part of the 'it is what it is' crowd and there's a lack of basic information in their area so they really don't know about potential meds, potential issues with being older, getting on top of it with the medical professionals, etc. Fingers crossed.
Another issue is my live in partner is immunocompromised and we've been around each other plenty all week (now isolated). So far negative.
Thanks...I called and don't meet the requirements. Not old enough and don't have any health issues.
So far I'm in 'cold-like' phase.
It's just the one finger, not all of them, which is weird. Maybe I'll try splinting it.
My boss has only had 2 hammers in 26 years of framing. He uses an Estwing, which I also have.
