Yipeee... Got my second Covid shot today......

I’m so done with the shots so I’m sitting in Denny’s enjoying a coffee with free wifi waiting for the rest of the world to catch up.
 
Received my second stab yesterday morning felt very tired most of the day but had a good nights rest. Bit of a sore spot where they poked me. Heading in the right direction me thinks!

First shots yesterday for my wife and I. We went through the process together as I told the nice lady at the door it was part of her birthday present - hahahaha

The registration lady was shocked it was our first jab after she found out my wife was a teacher and I was Coast Guard - she spend an abnormal time clacking away on the computer and several folks seemed to pass us as they were sent into the injection line with just a how do you do???

Anyway - super fast after that - we got the phizer (sp?). Shot. A bit of a sore arm today in the area of the shot but that will not stop progress!!!

I have to slow things down and start taking pictures of my projects - alas. I have already put new bearings in the drill press, fixed the 3 phase switch on the slotting head, installed rear cap speakers in the truck and a bunch of other things and I didn’t get one pic - so I guess it didn’t happen—— alas.
 
Some people seem to think it's already over, a store i was in yesterday nobody working was masked up. Will certainly be nice to not wear these damn masks.

Some folks are more than willing to take the risks than use common sense. As much as we humans would like to get back to normal our world isn't there yet. Just saying!

Is everyone in Alberta that has been vaccinated eligible for the lottery or just starting a certain date?

Every Alberta resident 18+ that's had their first dose is eligible provided they sign up to enter. If you sign up and have had both shots you're automatically eligible for two more draws later on.

Are you still hauling into the US? Maybe you could get one sooner down there?

Easier said than done. I went to see a doc last year in Waco Tx. Asked permission to drop the wagon in the parking lot. I think I had to make an appointment at the clinic. Took the truck to the clinic parking lot that was clearly not designed for big trucks. Drove across town to fill the prescription at a grocery store who’s parking lot was not designed for big trucks. Went back and pinned to the wagon. Quite an ordeal

$80 to see the doc and $4 for a week of antibiotics :D

Just a thought. Before Canada got it's vaccination program running there were quite a few Canadians that went down there to get a shot. They also opened whole football fields for drive thru vaccinations or so I've heard.

That is at the present. Personally I was checking daily, and esp. Monday AM starting at 0740. Just leave it up in a browser window, self refreshing. If you set the filters to what you need it becomes quite evident when openings pop up.

They were vaccinating SK and Manitoba truckers in North Dakota about two months ago. As long as you normally travelled to the states as part of your business, you could get your first shot and then they booked you for your second 21 days later that same day. I don't know if Ontario and anything south worked out that same deal.
