They are now making surgical masks instead of shoes.

Our county parks are open but the parking lots are closed. Since I rode into the park, had wide open trails with just a few other mountain bikers. Nice 25 mixed road & dirt miles. Oh and the new rear derailure & gearing is suhweet. I noticed I have to push the lever all the way for it to shift now (maybe due to the clutch?) but it’s super smooth. About 3 miles in from the road, not a person in sight! Very rare for this trail.

Bauer is a hockey company now making face shields for health care workers.

Scenic drive and a short hike today. But we didn’t think it through, and got caught without an open public restroom. I can answer that question about the Pope and the woods.

I decided to make a few Bloody Mary’s. sadly I did not have all the stuff in the fridge that I wanted to add, but it’s not that bad for an afternoon snack.

We have not been hoarding. We buy what we need when we need it. I go to the store about once per week. Have not seen TP in my LGS in weeks. So this AM on jumped on my neighborhood FB page and asked if anyone wanted to PM me where and when they were finding TP. Within 5 minutes I hear a car horn and Romeo starts barking. A wonderful neighbor dropped off an 8 pack of TP on our front porch.

I've banned people for less than that.

Taking care of my wife keeps me pretty busy. I do lots of laundry, dishes, cooking, cleaning. She has noise going on the TV all stinking day long. Today we lost satellite signal because of the storm, it was nice to have some peace and quiet.

Paulie used Lindy as a booster so he could see.

Do I have to choose just one?

So, he bought a seasonal marina?

Making cheese bread

I guess you don't roll them back far enough..

And then there is a BIG lizard just chilling on my mandarin tree when I went out to check the garden

He is working hard on attempted removal of the collar.

I was on the phone with her and speaking in Chinese ...which is what she understands (and reads). Without me asking, she was able to cite the physical distance requirements, 14 day self-isolation ..and well, she didn't get into immuno-compromised because she is. She hasn't seen her daughter-doctor probably past month. Daughter didn't attend mother's 86 birthday at beginning of March because she had a cold. Daughter lives a half hr. drive away. Mother tends to lecture us. Yes, I know I am 61 yr. Sigh. But then she stopped with me suddenly. I think she realized she should worry about her doctor-daughter rather than me in the middle of the prairies working from home. The Chinese-language tv broadcasting in Canada (Toronto, Vancouver and whatever other areas) which have local stations for many years... are doing excellent public education for their local audiences. I can see the fruits of this via mother. Each parent is different....mother despite her Gr. 10 education, has a sharp, logical mind. If we present some facts in a logical sequence, time for her to think, she will comply with health related stuff.

I've been working on a nylon string acoustic/electric built out of a wine box. Yesterday I modified the bridge to take a piezo bar pickup and got the neck ready to set. I don't have a current pic, but here's one from the lst time I played with it. I did some internal bracing to the box so it can carry the neck and bridge. Nylon strings have a much lower tension than steel, so I didn't have to go too crazy. I might have to add one more down the centerline of the V, but we'll see what happens when I string it up. The other build is an ES335 type of guitar. I'm getting ready to route the body and set the neck on that one. It's getting a set of the Surf 90 pickups from Guitar Fetish and a Varitone switch like B.B. King used on his guitars. No pick of that yet and it'll be a long time before it's finished.

I just finished my first cup of coffee and want another one. However, when I looked down at the towel covering my legs, it has a bulge near my feet, where the Angora kid has laid down for a nap. He is lying between my feet. Last night after he ate and played vigorously, he crawled on top of my foot and went to sleep. He may have slept like that for 2 hours. I really want a second cup of coffee, and my wife and Lad have gone back to bed for a nap.

...am I right @jsharr?

MY fantastic husband, and I don't feel stuck with him. I would however love to have any of you over for dinner. Bring your own TP. <====that was a joke

This! I am enjoying spending it with all of you! No Clorox wipes even needed! (Longjohn though is snot taking any chances. :D) I like sharing your virtual mayberries, yoop camps, bikeman cafes and rides, sheep farms, Airedale farms, and various hootersvilles, etc

Happy Birthday, Zack! I got you cake and a present that I thought you'd like.

I've been walking a trail close by. 5-7 miles depending if I start from the house or drive to the park to start It has been non crowded up until today. It's got a great view of the mountains and then a river canyon. The last mile is kind of boring & I hardly ever see folks on that section. Except today. Crap ton of folks walking, biking, jogging. Harshing my mellow I mixed in an afternoon bike ride this week to check out new brifters on my Kona now Ralph has got me watching Breaking Bad front to back

Pretty much the same I do every day.

I am stuck in the basement suite getting caught up on leather projects the family wants. I need another month to get caught up completely. It is a good way to pass the time. Very brainless and relaxing.

I have time to ride after work from not having to commute because of working at home. Weather got good so last Tuesday I started riding. Just getting a 12 mile ride down to the zoo and back immediately reduced my morning glucose reading by about 20%

That is a fabulous picture.

My dermatologist has acute care giver. She is his assistant and really cute.

Trainer miles today, wow, am I out of shape. Going to try to do this every day for awhile and see how it goes.

Nice builds! When I finish the wine box, I'm going to do a three string licence plate resonator cigar box guitar using a plate I won at the Hard Rock casino is Vegas a couple of decades ago.

Cute and having fun

HAHA. I am a crafty cook, but not a stupid one. BTW, I am strongly considering doing my own youtube tutorials on my breads. My friends are begging me to do this. Although, I think @Allen would be better suited for this.

I saw the google comment. I just love talking to forumites, about life, love and chemicals

So many good possibilities... I'd have to say @BR46. I like Wisconsin, he has great toys (p.s. I have my motorcycle thingy on my driver's license), I could be a wheel sucker when he and his wife go for a bike ride, and I would like to visit some of his local bars.

Where am I supposed to spend it? Everything in my state is closed. Plus I hate these Robinhood plans.

New Balance still makes some shoes in the US. https://www.newbalance.com/made-in-us-and-uk/made-in-usa-sneakers/mens-made-in-usa/?prefn1=genderAndAgeGroupCombo&prefv1=Men We need to support companies that still manufacture products in the US.

Lots of homemaking. Made soap today. Cleaned. Worked out on the rowing machine. Did a 45 minute yoga session. Bass guitar playing. Organized the freezer, so I know what is in there. Laundry. Made more laundry soap. My husband tilled the garden by hand. Basically a bunch of home stuff. Wanted to ride, but lost the motivation with the rain and the cold.

I've been trying to sleep more. I've been glued to YouTube trying to learn more about Chinese history and Asian history too. I've also been trying to find more scientific data on the virus too. Tomorrow, I plan disinfecting my office again and possibly doing laundry in the bathtub.

Internet porn and cheetos

The beer supply is going fast....

I remember my oldest brother who served from 69-72 said he ate c rats that were older than him! I still have the P38 he kept from Nam he gave me in 1984 before I shipped out on my keychain.

MREs around 5 years at room temp. More if kept refrigerated and less in hot temps. C-rats (AKA MCIs)? Not sure but I wouldn't want to eat a new one.
