Always good. It's the universal language, unless you are German.

Cheers, oldcrow, long time no see 
[/QUOTE]
Yes, I have missed you guys (and the occasional gal) while submerged in distracting occupations that have required what remains of my full attention. I have resisted the occasional temptation to barge into the forum with some typically pithy comment (e.g. "squirrel!"). That resistance was helped by forgetting my password,
and not making the effort required to reset it (hey! it's complicated 
). Forgetting things and trying to remember them is becoming an all-absorbing hobby 
, no doubt now accelerated by the 40-proof state of my saliva

Firstly stay safe everyone.
Secondly drinking methanol it's bad for you ok.
Thirdly here is what to look out for with one addition the loss of taste and smell is also a symptom.

Jawohl!
O.K. It was marginal, but if you have to stop and think, it probably got too close to the line.You must have thought better.

Back in the seventies there were several mass deaths in PNG from methanol.
In the first some locals stole some metho, MEK and several other fluids with potent vapours and mixed them together and naturally most who drank it died
In the second a group stole some water-meth from Rabaul airport and again many died. The government decided it was the stockists fault and announced they would be taking them to court for causing these deaths. Next morning the law of unintended consequences struck when first (Government airline) Fokker arrived and ordered full tanks of water-meth, as always, and were told we destroyed it all. The aircraft departed very empty and even then the takeoff was reportedly pretty marginal. No more water-meth until the threat of court action was firmly rejected.

I look every day for your report to reassure myself that you're not one of the 'statistics'.
Keep reporting please!
(could you add "new cases today"?)

"mikewint said, "Und du wirst es mögen und du wirst lachen - verstehen[?]"
Zuerst, Ich Verstehe nicht, Mike. Mein Deutch ist vierzig jähr alt und Ich vergessen zu viele. as my literal English-to-Deutch translation allows.
I think, It means"I will like it and I will laugh" As in a command, no? "I WILL like it and I WILL Laugh."
In which case, "Jawohl! Main Fuehrer!"

Trying too. Since I'm an "Essential Critical Infrastructure Worker" I'm still working but only outside. I refuse to step foot in our field office which is in a 4 story office building. Still feels very stressful working around other people outside even though I'm keeping my distance. Both kids in collage are doing there work on-line and my wife is still at home with a broken shoulder and recovering from a PE she threw after the surgery.

As I said before, I take this very serious. I wish so many others would as well. At the same time we need to keep our humanity. Having a sense of humor goes along with that.
Enjoy...
