Got my plane ready for annual       inspection. Restored a dead headset.              My spouse and I are closer now than ever, so that's great. I don't know.              You know, I find it really difficult to keep contact with my friends. They're       hard to have a sustained conversation with on text message and forget the       notion of talking on the phone. I have one friend who'll call to talk for any       period of time. The rest, nah.              It was like that before, but the lockdown made it worse.              Daniel Traechin              ...
